The Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin
Letter of Pope Paul VI to Cardinal Léon Josef von Suenens on the Occasion of the International Marian Congress, May 13, 1975.
Pope Paul VI emphasized the need to couple devotion to the Virgin Mary with devotion to the Holy Spirit in these critical times.
campusudayton.edu/mary/resources/documents/suenens.htmlTheme: The Life of Mary: Pentecost
Among the document references, this from Behold Your Mother:There are striking likenesses between the Annunciation and Pentecost. Mary, the great mother figure for the Church, is present not only at the Annunciation, but praying with her Son's disciples before Pentecost. 79
After Christ's Resurrection, surrounded by His disciples, Mary prayed for the coming of that same Spirit, in order that the Church, the Body of her Son, might be born on Pentecost. 115

Among the document references, this from Marialis Cultus:
In the Virgin Mary everything is relative to Christ and dependent upon Him. It was with a view to Christ that God the Father from all eternity chose her to be the all-holy Mother and adorned her with gifts of the Spirit granted to no one else. 25

Among the document references, this from Behold Your Mother:
Any correct understanding of Mary's role must be seen in connection with the predominant role of the Holy Spirit. ... St. Luke presents Mary as the humble woman overshadowed by the Holy Spirit in order that Christ be formed. "God sent his Son born of a woman ... that we might receive the adoption of sons." (Gal 4:4) (LG 52) 112

Among the document references, this from Marialis Cultus:
Theological reflection and the liturgy have in fact noted how the sanctifying intervention of the Spirit in the Virgin of Nazareth was a culminating moment of the Spirit's action in the history of salvation. Thus, for example, some Fathers and writers of the Church attributed to the work of the Spirit the original holiness of Mary, who was as it were "fashioned by the Holy Spirit into a kind of new substance and new creature." (LG 56) 26

Among the document references, this from Signum Magnum:
It was this perfect harmony between divine grace and her own human activity that gave honor to the Blessed Trinity and made her the crowning glory of the Church. 16

After fifty days of joyous celebration, the Easter Season solemnly closes each year with the great feast of Pentecost Sunday. This has been traditionally called the "birthday" of the Church, that day when "all were filled with the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:4) Pentecost occurs ten days after the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ ....
A reflection by Rev. Matthew R. Mauriello:
campus.udayton.edu/mary/meditations/Mchrch.htmlWho Was Mary?
In this reflection, the author writes: At the end of her beloved Son's terrible passion and atrocious death, then his glorious resurrection and ascension, St. Luke tells us in the Acts of the Apostles that the Mother of Jesus was in the upper room with fearful apostles awaiting the outpouring of the Pentecostal Spirit. Hers was an extraordinarily significant presence to the fledgling Church. The apostles were new shepherds (pastors) of Christ's Church. The Mother of Jesus is in their midst, forgiving and reconciling the disciples .... A reflection by the late Rev. Eamon R. Carroll, O. Carm.:

On May 31, 1998, the feast of Pentecost, the Holy Father addressed to all bishops, clergy, and faithful the apostolic letter Dies Domini on the "sanctification of the Lord's Day." The text is clear and divided into five chapters: 1) Day of the Lord; 2) Day of Christ; 3) Day of the Church; 4) Day of the Person; 5) Day of Days. Subtitles within the chapters give further expressive and suggestive names for Sunday: "day of the new creation," "day of Christ the Light," "day of the gift of the Holy Spirit".... by Rev. Ignacio Calabuig, OSM:
