Don t look for God s presence only in the joyful moments of family life. Expect to find God in the evening of the day, when you are exhausted and cranky or when you are most aware of your family s failures and short-comings. Today s Gospel reminds us that the wounded Christ is standing among us through the Holy Spirit, urging us to forgive and offering us peace.

St. Vincent de Paul Church Page Four Sunday, May 20, 2018 A WORD FROM THE DEACON I suppose that most would agree that we live in the midst of chaotic times. As crises continue to build, we may find ourselves confused, fearful, even cynical. We may want to gather in the upper room of our lives with our closest friends and close the door on a troubled world. Yet chaos always calls for creative response, it always beckons us to open to holy surprise. During Lent, we hopefully laid aside some of what weighs us down so that as we moved from the cross into resurrection, we could be more spacious and open to possibility. Pentecost immerses us in the brilliance of fire and the power of wind, calling us to trust in something bigger than we are, to remember that our imagining is always smaller than the divine reality. The story of Pentecost asks us a question: How do I let my expectations and cynicism close my heart to the new voice rising like a fierce wind? Pentecost is about conversion, which for me essentially means making a commitment to always be surprised by God. Conversion is the recognition that we are all on a journey and always changing. God is always offering us something new within us. Conversion is a commitment to total inner transformation and a free response to the ways God is calling us. Soul work is always challenging and calls us beyond our comfort zone. The Spirit descends on t h o s e g a t h e r e d together in a small room and breaks the doors wide open. We are reminded that practicing resurrection is not for ourselves alone, but on behalf of a wider community. Not only for those with whom we attend Mass, but beyond to the ones who sit at the furthest margins of our awareness. Pentecost is a story of the courage that comes from breaking established boundaries.

Let us not imagine that we obscure the glory of the Son by the great praise we lavish on the Mother; for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son.
