Made to Be a Kingdom
The Spirit Descends: Pentecost, the Eucharist, and the Life of the Age to Come
In this episode of Made to be a Kingdom, Fathers Anthony Perkins and Harry Linsenbigler explore Pentecost as the climactic fulfillment of God’s saving work, where the Holy Spirit makes the life of the age to come present within the Church. Drawing on liturgical texts and the Eucharistic prayers, they show how Pentecost is not merely a past event but an ongoing participation in the Kingdom, uniting heaven and earth and forming the Church as the living body of Christ. The conversation also offers a pastoral warning against confusing emotional experience with spiritual reality, emphasizing instead humility, discernment, and faithful participation in the sacramental life.
