See PENTECOST at our apostolate homepage

The Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary

after the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, fulfilled this command of Christ

and preached the gospel to all nations.

From their teachings we have received what is known as the Deposit of Faith,

that is, all that has been revealed by God.

The Deposit of Faith is made up of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition.

And after the death of the Apostles, Divine Revelation had been completed

and God delivered no more revelation meant for the whole of mankind.

But let us not think that the divine assistance of the Holy Ghost

was limited and ceased to continue after the promulgation of the gospel.

For the Deposit of Faith needed to be safeguarded and preserved

within the Church of Christ.

So, when Christ promised to send the Holy Spirit, He said:

“And I will ask the Father and He will give you another Advocate to dwell with you forever,

the Spirit of Truth Whom the world cannot receive,

because it neither sees Him nor knows Him.” John 14:16

And also when Christ commanded His Apostles to teach all nations, He added:

“And behold, I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.”

Matt. 28:20

The Holy Spirit abides with the Catholic Church forever

to divinely assist it to teach all nations whatsoever Christ commanded.

“all days even to the consummation of the world.”

This unity of faith and worship among all men

manifests the Divine Assistance of the Holy Spirit.
