Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

We cannot think that the miracle of the outpouring of the Holy Ghost we celebrate today is something that happened to the apostles only. This is the especially glorious thing about the feast of Pentecost: the same thing that happened to the apostles, which we celebrate with a great festival, repeats itself each year... We, along with all people at all times and in all places, can share in the main gift the apostles receive: the gift of the Holy Ghost Himself. - C.F.W. Walther, *God Grant It* p. 454
