5 FYI: Solemnity of Pentecost May 15, 2016 Toward the end of Jesus ministry on earth, He promised the sending of the Paraclete. Today we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the birth of the Church. The Reading from the Acts of the Apostles is filled with images and symbols worthy of Stephen Spielberg. The wind, the tongues of fire, being filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues all lead to a new courage and strength given to each of the apostles to spread the good news to all nations. Even strangers are affected by their proclamation and wonder how these apostles can speak to them in their native languages. Truly an act of God has taken place! The Psalm for today is our response asking God to continue to send His Spirit and enliven us and make us holy. The Second Reading whether it be from 1 st Corinthians or Romans, is a reminder of how the Trinity works in concert to proclaim that Jesus is Lord and that all of the baptized have the ability to call God Abba or Daddy in the midst of the Church. The Sequence or poetic text mandated for the Pentecost Celebration on Sunday is a beautiful expression which unites the first and second Reading into a cohesive unit. Finally, the Gospel Proclamation taken from St. John s Gospel takes us back to the evening of the Resurrection. Jesus greets his apostles with peace, shows his hands and side and gives them the commission to forgive sin. The alternative Gospel reminds us to remain in love. Pentecost officially is the end of the Easter Season. However, all of us are called by God never to lose sight of His love, compassion and strength and that all of us are loved! Brothers and Sisters, while we have time, let us do good. ~ Fr. Dan Domingo de Pentecostés Mayo 15, 2016 En los últimos días de su ministerio en la tierra, Jesús prometió que enviaría el Paráclito. Hoy celebramos la venida del Espíritu Santo sobre los apóstoles y el nacimiento de la Iglesia. La lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles está repleto de imágenes y símbolos dignos de una película de ciencia ficción de Stephen Spielberg. El viento, las lenguas de fuego, el sentirse llenos del Espíritu Santo y el hablar en lenguas les infunden, a cada uno de los apóstoles, una nueva fuerza y coraje para difundir la Buena Nueva del evangelio a todas las naciones. Aún los extranjeros son impactados por la predicación, y se preguntan cómo es posibles que estos apóstoles hayan podido hablarles en sus idiomas de origen. Verdaderamente ha tenido lugar una acción maravillosa de Dios! El Salmo de hoy es nuestra respuesta a estos eventos, pidiendo a Dios que continúe enviando su Espíritu y que nos vivifique y nos santifique. La Segunda Lectura, bien sea la de 1 Corintios o la de Romanos, nos recuerda cómo las personas de la Trinidad obran en conjunto para proclamar que Jesús es el Señor, y que todos los bautizados tienen la capacidad de llamar a Dios Abba, o Papá dentro de la Iglesia. La Secuencia o texto poético que es obligatoria para la Celebración de Pentecostés es una bella expresión que une la primera y la segunda lectura en un todo cohesivo. Finalmente, la proclamación del Evangelio tomada del Evangelio de San Juan nos remonta a la noche de la Resurrección. Jesús les da el saludo de la paz a sus apóstoles, les enseña sus manos y su costado, y los comisiona a perdonar sus pecados. El Evangelio alterno nos emplaza a permanecer en el amor. Pentecostés marca oficialmente el fin del ciclo de Pascua. Sin embargo, todos nosotros estamos llamados por Dios a no perder de vista su amor, compasión y fortaleza, y el hecho de que todos somos amados! Hermanos y hermanas, mientras tengamos tiempo, hagamos el bien 5
