\n<\/span><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>This year, the fast carries an even deeper meaning, as it aligns with the purpose of Pentecost\u2014a moment that calls the entire Universal Church to come together in faith and action.<\/span><\/p>\n
The purpose of Pentecost is inspired by the period in which the disciples sought God after the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. During that time, they persevered, devoted and aligned themselves spiritually until the Holy Spirit descended upon them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

ANOINT YOURSELF<\/span>EACH MORNING
\n<\/span><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>The preparation for Pentecost unfolds as a true journey of faith. It began in a meaningful way at the conclusion of the Family at the Foot of the Cross<\/em> event, held on Good Friday (3rd<\/sup> April), when the first anointing with oil consecrated in Israel took place.<\/span><\/p>\n
This oil, consecrated by bishops and pastors in Israel, was distributed to the participants. From that moment on, everyone was invited to anoint their heads with the blessed oil each morning, seeking the baptism with the Holy Spirit and preparing themselves to receive the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.<\/span><\/p>\n
This purpose invites each of us to look within and nurture a sincere desire to draw closer to God. It is not merely an outward practice, but a path of deep preparation that leads to a transformed life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
