Comment from UTT:

The pope's statement that a "new Pentecost" is about to take place on planet earth is to be expected. Roman Catholic sources we have been following for some time indicate that many Roman Catholics believe that a "new Pentecost" (also called the "Second Pentecost") will happen in conjunction with "Mary" playing a role in the so-called outpouring.

The great delusion that is soon to be experienced on planet earth will be accompanied by what is called an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. However at this time, there will be lying signs and wonders focused on appearances of the Eucharistic Christ.

Remember what the apostle Paul stated - there is another spirit, another gospel and another Christ.

July 19 - Pope Prays Closing Mass Will Be New Pentecost

Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

SYDNEY, Australia, JULY 19, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI is praying that the final Mass of World Youth Day will be like the experience of the Upper Room, and that the young people will go forth from it to proclaim the Risen Christ.

Under the bright Sydney sun, Benedict XVI told the youth: "May the fire of God's love descend to fill your hearts, unite you ever more fully to the Lord and his Church, and send you forth, a new generation of apostles, to bring the world to Christ!"

Benedict XVI cited the Gospel of Luke read at the Mass, where Jesus proclaims that a new age has begun, in which the Holy Spirit will be poured out upon all humanity.

"Here in Australia, [...] all of us have had an unforgettable experience of the Spirit's presence and power in the beauty of nature," the Pope said. "Here too, in this great assembly of young Christians from all over the world, we have had a vivid experience of the Spirit's presence and power in the life of the Church.

"Dear young friends," he urged, "the Lord is asking you to be prophets of this new age, messengers of his love, drawing people to the Father and building a future of hope for all humanity." The world and the Church need this renewal, Benedict XVI affirmed.

The Pope concluded asking for Mary's prayer: "Through the loving intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church, may this 23rd World Youth Day be experienced as a new Upper Room, from which all of us, burning with the fire and love of the Holy Spirit, go forth to proclaim the Risen Christ and to draw every heart to him! Amen."
