phatcatholic Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 [quote name='Rick777' post='1148456' date='Dec 24 2006, 01:07 AM'] Since the Virgin Mary had already recieved the Holy Spirit, what happened to her at Pentecost?[/quote] She received the Spirit again. Receiving the Spirit once does not preclude future receptions. One reason is because the Spirit does not always have the same effect on us every time we receive Him. The Spirit she received at the moment of her conception protected her from sin. The Spirit received at Pentecost seems to have had the effect of granting to the participants more charistmatic gifts, like speaking in tongues, preaching, courage, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
