Another important aspect is that the outpouring of Christ for humanity in love happened at the crucifixion, which was the actual sacrificial event; and then, the outpouring of Christ’s Spirit into His people at Pentecost that would not have happened without the crucifixion. Pentecost is when Christ inhabited His people for the first time by His Spirit. After that, Baptism is the sacrament associated with the habitation of Christ’s Spirit within us. Without this presence within us prior to our participation in the Eucharist, there is no sanctifying grace flowing into us before receiving the Eucharist.
