Descent of the Holy Spirit

Saint Paul Roman Catholic Church, Rye Brook, NY

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit... [Acts 2:1-4]

And as [Jesus] was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him... like a dove... [Luke 3:21-22]

Descent of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit descends upon Mary and the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday. [Third Glorious Mystery of the Rosary]

To Jesus, son of Mary, We... supported him with the [H]oly [S]pirit (Ruh al-Qudus). [Qu'ran: Al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:253]

…the Spirit of God (Ruach Elohim) was hovering over the face of the water [a]nd God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. [Torah: Bereshit (Genesis) 1:2-3]

William Sutherland replied to Malik Raoulda:

Yes, peace, spirituality and serenity are united since we are in fact brothers and sisters of the same Creator.
