First Reading
Acts 2:1-11
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
1And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it satisfied the whole house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:
4And they were all satisfied with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
5Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6And when this was noised abroad, the crowd came together, and were put to shame in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.
7And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Look, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?
8And how have we heard, every man our own tongue in which we were born?
9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,
11Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful what God wants.
