Today we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit, He who made fishermen wise and the simple ones teachers of the whole world. For the Spirit did not merely give them words, but granted them a heavenly power that transforms the heart and opens the eyes to the knowledge of God. Just as fire refines gold, so the Holy Spirit purifies the soul from corruption and makes it a holy temple.Then man no longer seeks earthly things, for the soul that has tasted the sweetness of the Spirit can be satisfied by nothing in this world, but continually longs for God.”From the Sayings of the Early Fathers
