Before Pentecost: The Church Older Than the Sun and Moon
About this episode
The episode discusses the Church's existence prior to Pentecost and its foundational role in Christian life and liturgy.
Pentecost isn't the Church's birthday: the Church precedes it, stretching back to creation itself, angels, prophets, patriarchs, and is revealed most clearly in Christ and the Church's liturgical witness. Pentecost inaugurates the apostolic priesthood and Eucharistic life, and the episode invites listeners to be formed by the prayers and hymnography where Scripture becomes prayer and grace supplies what is lacking.
