When we speak of the term liturgy we are generally referring to one of two options- Mass which we are very familiar with. We have sacramental celebrations connected directly to the celebration of Mass like weddings, baptism, anointing of the sick, etc… These can also be performed outside of Mass but they still retain most of the structure as if they were during Mass. The other is the Divine Office, which we generally are much less familiar with. The Divine Office is a systematic collection of prayers (especially recitation of psalms) that span different parts of the day.
The word “Pentecost” might immediately evoke images of tongues of fire, rushing wind, and the dramatic descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. But before the fanfare of Pentecost Sunday, there is a lesser-known but deeply rich liturgical celebration: the Pentecost Vigil. Often compared to the Easter Vigil in tone and structure, the Pentecost Vigil is one of the Church’s hidden gems—solemn, expectant, and deeply rooted in Scripture and the life of the early Church. ++ La palabra "Pentecostés" podría evocar inmediatamente imágenes de lenguas de fuego, viento impetuoso y el dramático descenso del Espíritu Santo sobre los apóstoles. Pero antes de la fanfarria del Domingo de Pentecostés, hay una celebración litúrgica menos conocida, pero de gran riqueza: la Vigilia de Pentecostés. A menudo comparada con la Vigilia Pascual en tono y estructura, la Vigilia de Pentecostés es una de las joyas ocultas de la Iglesia: solemne, expectante y profundamente arraigada en las Escrituras y en la vida de la Iglesia primitiva.
