Donate online at : THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT The church wakes up to an amazing message this morning. Look around and see who has been called. Listen to the voices of those who proclaim Jesus is Lord. You ll find no race of people left out; you ll find no language on earth unfit to proclaim the glory of God. We call Pentecost Sunday the birthday of the church. In many ways, the church is still being born. Only when we all know the peace Jesus offered in today s Gospel will we really know the fullness of the Holy Spirit. St. Paul assures us in today s second reading that all of us have been given to drink of the one Spirit. When we look around us in the church we should see everyone. But we don t. Not yet. What is holding us back from fully embracing the one Body of Christ? When will we see our differences as manifestations of the same Holy Spirit? PR@Y FOR THE UNBORN Planned Parenthood 1250 E. Apache Blvd., Tempe, AZ All the faithful are invited to join in praying for the unborn, the little ones that cannot speak for themselves. Pray for them and their mothers that the unborn will be spared and the mothers will have a change of heart.

Yet each word has deep roots in our tradition. At an ordination we select men for service to the community. Ordo is a Latin word drawn not from pagan religious life but from Imperial Rome. It meant a distinct body standing apart from the people, such as a body of people responsible for civil governance, senators for example. Think of the selectmen or board of governors in your civic home, and you will get the idea. The church borrowed the term to describe the place of certain people within the people of God, thus the order of deacons, the order of presbyters, and even the order of virgins, catechumens, widows, neophytes, penitents, and so on, as distinct groups within the church. Just as ancient Rome had various uniforms for the ranks and stations in civil life, so too did certain garments give clues to membership in an order in the church. So, our tradition favors the idea of an ordination liturgy not as receiving something so much as being received. This is clearly expressed in the liturgy. The kiss of peace is given only by the ordaining bishop and priests to the newly ordained, not by the faithful, the deacons, or the concelebrating bishops who are present. YE@R OF MERCY Divin_ M_r]y Progr[m Divine Mercy in the Second Greatest Story Ever Told...is a breathtaking journey combining history, Scripture, prophecy, and lives of the saints to show God s merciful love for you.

Psalm Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth (Psalm 104). Second Reading In one Spirit we are baptized into one body and given to drink of one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13) or Romans 8:8-17. Gospel Jesus Christ appears to the disciples and sends them on their mission with the power to forgive or retain sins through the Holy Spirit (John 20:19-23) or John 14:15-16, 23b-26. Page 3
