The Benedict Year › Reading Backwards from the Pascha › Unit 11 · Confirmation
Week 33 · 10–14 May 2027 · Eastertide
The sevenfold Spirit
Unit 11 · Confirmation: Isaiah 11 comes back. The child met the sevenfold Spirit resting on the shoot in December; in May it is poured on their own forehead.
Session A · the reading
About 55 minutes. Open and read aloud before any framing: no introduction, no “today we’re looking at”. Scripture first, then the Father.
- Isaiah 11:1–3, back from Advent; Romans 8:1–17
Session B · the argument
About 35 minutes, on another day. Never both in one sitting.
Point it out once. The shoot from Jesse’s stump in December, and the same Spirit on the child’s forehead in May. Then leave it alone.
Video. Pentecost
Books this week
Optional: one piece of media
Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989). Watched together, with nothing said about why it was chosen; how the list was made.
Pentecost is Sunday 16 May 2027. Time these weeks to the child’s own date.
