1. Francis Cardinal George, OMI:

   Pentecost is a feast of conversion. Our minds are converted to Christ in faith; and our hearts are converted to His mission in charity. Faith and charity are given with the coming of the Holy Spirit. Everything in the Church is a gift.

2. Clarence Cramer:

   Being filled with the Holy Spirit, then, is a matter of obedience to the Word of God. The filling of the Spirit that all experienced at Pentecost was a matter of a promise being fulfilled. Today, the believer is to be filled in obedience to the command of Ephesians 518, continuously, not merely by a single, crisis experience. The Christian life is a growth process toward maturity.
