Original text

Melania and I join many Christians throughout our Nation and around the world who are joyfullycelebrating the miracle of Pentecost today and the birth of Christ’s Church. Fifty days after the glorious Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, the Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles in Jerusalem in tongues of fire, triumphantly fulfilling Christ’s promise and giving them the courage and divine authority to proclaim the message of God to every nation and people. At the call of Saint Peter to “repent and be baptized,” thousands came forward to embrace the infinite love and abundant grace of Jesus Christ. From that moment onward, Christ’s message of salvation and His promise of eternal life have resounded across the ages, carried by generations of faithful witnesses who have spread the light of the Gospel to the farthest ends of the Earth. On this holy day, we proclaim our faith in Jesus Christ, our hope in His saving power, and our enduring commitment to pursuing His will as one Nation under God. As we celebrate 250 years of American Independence this year, we pray that the Holy Spirit continues to inspire our hearts, strengthen our resolve, and guide our Nation with wisdom, courage, and hope for years to come. Happy Pentecost!
