Pentecost: The Church’s Birthday by Rev. Lawrence Rice, CSP Each year the Church celebrates 50 days of Easter, culminating at the feast of Pentecost. Pentecost marks the occasion of God’s sending the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’ disciples after his resurrection. Before Pentecost, the disciples were unsure of what they were to do next, and spent most of their time in hiding. After Pentecost, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, they understood their mission to spread the Good News of Jesus, and they had the courage to come out of hiding and speak openly about who Jesus was, and what he had accomplished by his dying and rising. Because Pentecost brought the disciples this clarity of mission, it is regarded as the founding feast of the Christian Church. Before Pentecost, the disciples of Jesus are tentative and disorganized. After Pentecost, they are a people with a mission, who perceive themselves as spiritually and sacramentally connected to the risen Christ. You can read the story of the Church’s first days in the Acts of the Apostles. Today, celebrations of Pentecost still center on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the power of those gifts to both draw people together, and to send them forth to spread the word. For those of you who are fond of making lists, those gifts of the Holy Spirit are: Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, (Continued on page 2)

Pentecost: The Church’s Birthday by Rev. Lawrence Rice, CSP Fortitude, Good Counsel, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. Of course, one of the remarkable elements of the story of the first Pentecost was the miracle of understanding, in which everyone in the diverse crowd in Jerusalem hears the disciples speaking in the listeners’ own language. This unique event is sometimes commemorated at masses for Pentecost Sunday by having people read sections of the story in a variety of different languages represented in the congregation. It’s a reminder that although we’ve heard the story before, we have inherited the mission of those first disciples. USCCB

Pentecostés: el Cumpleaños de la Iglesia Por el Rev. Lawrence Rice, CSP Cada año la Iglesia celebra 50 días después de la Pascua, que culmina con la fiesta de Pentecostés. Pentecostés marca la ocasión de Dios al enviar el Espíritu Santo sobre los discípulos de Jesús después de su resurrección. Antes de Pentecostés, los discípulos no estaban seguros de lo que iban a hacer después por lo que pasaron la mayor parte escondidos. Después de Pentecostés, gracias al don del Espíritu Santo ellos entendieron su misión de difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesús y tienen el coraje y la valentía de salir de su escondite y hablar abiertamente sobre quien es Jesús y lo que logró con su muerte y resurrección. Debido a Pentecostés los discípulos tuvieron esa claridad de la misión que es considerada como la fiesta de la fundación de la Iglesia Cristiana. Antes de Pentecostés los discípulos de Jesús solo tenían tentativas y desorganización. Después de Pentecostés, son un pueblo con una misión, que se perciben conectados al cristo resucitado tanto espiritual como sacramentalmente. Usted puede leer la historia de los primeros días de la Iglesia en los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Hoy en día las celebraciones de Pentecostés todavía se centran en los Dones del Espíritu Santo y el poder de esos regalos y unidos ambos envían a la gente a correr la voz. Los siete Dones del Espíritu Santo son: Sabiduría, Conocimiento, Entendimiento, Fortaleza, Consejo, Piedad y Temor de Dios. Por supuesto, uno de los elementos notables de la historia del primer Pentecostés fue el milagro de la compresión, en la que todos los miembros de la diversa multitud en Jerusalén oyen a los discípulos que hablan en la lengua propia de los oyentes. Este evento único algunas veces se conmemora en las misas de Pentecostés al tener proclamadores que lean secciones de la historia en la variedad de los diferentes idiomas que representan la congregación. Este es un recordatorio de que a pesar de que hemos oído la historia antes, hemos heredado la misión de aquellos primeros discípulos. USCCB

Pray for The Departed

Ann Garcia

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 voic-es 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 pro-claim the glory of God. We call Pentecost Sun-day the “birthday of the church.” In many ways, the church is still being born. Only when we all know the peace Jesus of-fered in today’s Gospel will we really know the

fullness of the Holy Spir-it. St. Paul assures us in to-day’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 manifesta-tions of the same Holy Spirit? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LA PLENITUD DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO La Iglesia se despierta esta mañana con un asombroso mensaje. Mira a tu alrededor a ver quién ha sido llamado. Escucha las voces de los que pro-claman que Jesús es el Señor. Encontrarás que ningún pueblo ni raza ha sido excluido; ningún idioma del mundo es in-capaz de proclamar la gloria de Dios. Decimos que el Domingo de Pen-tecostés es el cumpleaños de la Iglesia”. En diversas maneras, la Iglesia toda-vía está naciendo. Sólo cuando todos conozcan la

paz que Jesús ofrece en el Evangelio de hoy es que de veras conoceremos la plenitud del Espíritu San-to. San Pablo nos asegu-ra en la segunda lectura de hoy que “a todos se nos ha dado a beber del mismo Espíritu”. Cuando pasamos nuestra mirada por la Iglesia, deberíamos de ver a todos. Pero no es así. Todavía no, ¿qué ba-rrera nos impide abrazar-nos en un solo Cuerpo de Cristo? ¿Cuándo vamos a reconocer que nuestras diferencias son manifes-taciones de un mismo Espíritu Santo? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Solemnidad de Pentecostés Al anunciar el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia el Pa-pa Francisco nos desafía a proclamar la misericor-dia de Dios “a todos, sin excluir ninguno . . . una vez más con nuevo entusiasmo y con una renovada acción pastoral” Misericordiae Vultus, 12). Pentecos-tés proclama que la puerta cerrada por cincuenta días finalmente se abre. No más encierro en sí mis-ma, la comunidad habla a las multitudes con dife-rentes orígenes, de tierras lejanas, exóticos lugares. Cada uno los escucha en sus leguas nativas. El Espí-ritu no restaura la uniformidad de Babel, pero fra-gua la unidad en la diversidad del idioma, de la raza, de la nacionalidad, incluyendo a todos sin excepción. Durante este Año Jubilar de la Misericor-dia, el Espíritu de Pentecostés nos convoca de nuevo desde la mediocridad y la soledad para compartir la misericordia de Dios con el mundo. “¡Esta es nuestra misión!” lo dice el Papa Francisco. “Se nos dio el don del ‘idioma’ del Evangelio y el ‘fuego’ del Espíritu Santo, para proclamar a Jesús resucita-do, vivo y presente en medio de nosotros y para alentar los corazones de las personas, acercándo-las a Jesús, el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida” (Rezo del Regina Coeli, Domingo de Pentecostés, 24 de mayo de 2015). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

Jubilee Year of Mercy

Solemnity of Pentecost

Announcing the Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis challenged us to proclaim God’s mercy “to everyone without ex-ception . . . again and again, with new enthusi-asm and renewed pasto-ral action” (Misericordiae Vultus, 12). Pentecost proclaims that the door locked for fifty days is thrown open at last. No longer closed in on itself, the community speaks to crowds from different backgrounds, distant lands, exotic languages. Everyone hears their native language. The Spirit does not restore Babel’s uniformity, but forges unity-in-diversity of language, race,

nationality—embracing all without exception. During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pentecost’s Spirit summons us afresh from mediocrity and isolation to share God’s mercy with the world. “This is our mission!” Francis exclaims. We are “given the gift of the ‘tongue’ of the Gospel and the ‘fire’ of the Holy Spirit, so that while we proclaim Jesus risen, living and present in our midst, we may warm . . . the heart of the peoples, drawing near to Him, the way, the truth, and the life” (Regina Coeli address, Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2015). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

This Catholic Bible study from Turning to God's Word examines the earliest events in biblical history to consider how they’ve shaped our Christian faith. Our 28-week study begins September 8 and ends May 11 (with holiday breaks). Participants prepare by reading the Bible passages and lesson pages (writing responses to the questions is optional). Our gatherings include an opening session, small group discussions, and a wrap-up reflection.

Thank you.

Stewardship by the Book One miracle of Pentecost was that, despite their diversity, each listener heard God’s word in his or her own language. The meaning for steward-ship is that, by sharing the gifts poured out on us by the Holy Spirit, we will be empowered to meet the needs of our brothers and sisters, whatever they may be.

derramado en lenguas de fuego sobre tus discípulos el día de Pentecostés; te rogamos:

Que inflames los corazones de tus fieles para que anuncien en todas las lenguas del orbe

La Administración de Nuestro Tiempo, Talento y Tesoro como Bienes de Dios, según “el Libro” Un milagro de Pentecostés fue que, a pesar de su diversidad, cada escuchante oyó la palabra de Dios en su propio idioma. El significado para la adminis-tración de los bienes de Dios es que, al compartir los dones que Espíritu Santo ha derramado en nosotros, tendremos el poder para satisfacer las necesidades de nuestros hermanos y hermanas, cualquiera que estas sean.
