2 Pentecost Sunday May 24, 2015 Pentecost Do not be surprised that I tell you must all be begotten from above...but you do not know where it (the wind) comes from or where it goes (John 3:7-8). Although Luke places the sending forth of the Spirit on Pentecost, fifty days after the Resurrection, John places it on Easter night. Each one, then, has his own way of portraying the glorification of Jesus. For John, this glorification took place when he was raised up on the cross. For both, the Spirit is the fruit of the victory Christ won by his death and resurrection, Pentecost cannot be separated from Easter. But why must the disciples receive the Spirit? From Luke s perspective, they must receive the Spirit to be able to speak to all in their proper language and thus inaugurate the universal mission of the Church. John does not say anything different, but he says it in a different way. The apostles are in the upper room with all the doors locked for fear of the Jews. They are afraid and their fear is contagious. They are attentive to every sound outside. They fear arrest. Suddenly, Jesus is there in their midst: Peace be with you! Peace is what they lack most in this atmosphere of anxiety. Jesus still carries the marks of his passion. He is there, alive and stronger than death. The doors which were once locked no longer hinder his mission. The hour is no longer one of self-centered fear. Now is the time to allow the Spirit to shatter all barriers and lead the Church where God wills.

4 We re more than just a School, We re Community. We re Family. SR. ANNA MARIE GAGLIA, CSJ, PRINCIPAL holysepulcherschool@zoominternet.net Q AND U FOREVER TOGETHER In Kindergarten s annual marriage ceremony, the letter Q (the groom) vowed to lead the letter U (the bride), and in turn Ms. U vowed to always follow him. What a clever way to learn grammar! Special thanks to Mrs. Anne Schratz and Mrs. Jeanne Schnur for organizing the event! Our guest list included Fr. Bob and Sr. Anna Marie along with first and second grades. It seemed the whole school enjoyed reminiscing about their own special time as these two letters were united.
