At the conclusion of his pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Pope Francis focused his homily at Mass on the significance of the Upper Room, held to be the site of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus' apostles. "It is a great gift that the Lord has given us by bringing us together here in the Upper Room for the celebration of the Eucharist," said Pope Francis. "Here, where Jesus shared the Last Supper with the apostles; where, after his resurrection, he appeared in their midst; where the Holy Spirit descended with power upon Mary and the disciples. Here the Church was born, and was born to go forth," he recalled. In recognition of the significance of the holy site, Pope Francis celebrated the Mass of the Holy Spirit along with the bishops of the Holy Land, noting that the Spirit's presence is still with the Church today
