Sent by the Spirit - CCRO Spring Conference 2025

"The Sacred Fire of the Temple Altar" - In the ancient tabernacle, the priests were commanded by God to keep a fire perpetually burning night and day on the altar. But why? Jesus comes to "baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire," but what does that mean? This talk explores the story of the sacred fire from the burning bush to the tabernacle to the temple and to the ministry of Jesus who "came to cast a fire on the earth," inviting believers to "fan into flame" the gift that God has bestowed.

"St. Elena Guerra: Apostle of the Holy Spirit" - Newly canonized in 2024, St. Elena Guerra, Foundress of the Society of Mary, Daughters of Saint Agnes (1835-1914), was recognized as an "apostle of the Holy Spirit" for her promotion of devotion to the Holy Spirit in her ministry and in her correspondence with Pope Leo XIII. This talk tells the story of her life, explains her letters to the pope and shows how she can be a model for our own devotion to the promise of Pentecost.
