Happy Pentecost!!! BLESSING PRAYER FOR PENTECOST Lord, Creator of the Good and Beautiful, hear our prayer as we celebrate the great fiery feast of Pentecost. On this day, nearly two thousand years ago, the apostles were enflamed by Your Holy Spirit, and their great zeal was mistaken for an overindulgence in other spirits. Send forth, Lord, as we celebrate, Your Sacred Spirit over these creatures of Yours, so that they might be filled to overflowing With Your joy, healing and magic. May this blessed feast of Pentecost Be for us a sacred sign of Your delightful presence among us, Your people. May this blessed feast bring friends closer to friends and transform the stranger into a friend. May all who share this sacrament be released from the toil of daily work, healed of any dullness of heart and have their feet set a-dancing. May this feast be the toast of our celebration and the taste of the holy Spirit among us as we bless them now in Your name: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen + 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?

UNA ORACIÓN AL ESPÍRITU Espíritu de Jesús, derramado en lenguas de fuego sobre tus discípulosel día de Pentecostés; te rogamos: Que inflames los corazones de tus fieles para que anuncien en todas las lenguas del orbe la salvación maravillosa de Dios. La carta de P. Brian regresará la próxima semana. Feliz Pentecostés. BENDICIÓN DE ORACIÓN PENTECOSTÉS Señor, creador del bueno y bello, escucha nuestra oración al celebrar la gran fiesta de fuego de Pentecostés. En este día, hace casi dos mil años, los apóstoles estaban inflamados por tu Espíritu Santo, y su gran celo estaba equivocado para un consumo excesivo de otras bebidas alcohólicas. Envía, Señor, Señor, al celebrar, Su alcohol sagrado sobre estas criaturas de Suyo, para que puedan ser llenados a la sobre-fluyendo con su alegría, la curación y la magia. Que esta bendita fiesta de Pentecostés Ser para nosotros un signo sagrado Su presencia del delicioso entre nosotros, tu pueblo. Que esta bendita fiesta traer amigos más cerca de amigos y transformar el extraño en un amigo. Que todos los que comparten este sacramento ser liberado de la fatiga del trabajo diario, curada embotamiento del corazón y tienen los pies establecen un baile. Que esta fiesta ser el héroe de nuestra celebración y el sabor del Espíritu Santo entre nosotros tal y como los bendecimos ahora en Su nombre: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Amén + LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Llenos del Espíritu Santo, los apóstoles empezaron a hablar en lenguas (Hch 2:111). Salmo — Envía, Señor, tu Espíritu, a renovar la tierra. Aleluya (Salmo 104 [103]). Segunda lectura — Fuimos bautizados en el Espíritu para formar un sólo cuerpo (1 Corintios 12:3b-7, 12-13) o Romanos 8:8-17. Evangelio — Jesús se aparece a los discípulos y los envía en su misión con el poder de perdonar o retener los pecados mediante el Espíritu Santo (Juan 20:19-23) o Juan 14:15-16, 23b-26. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Hoy celebramos la Pascua de Pentecostés. Esta es una de las tres Pascuas que celebramos los cristianos. Las otras dos son la Pascua de Resurrección (o Pascua Florida) y la Pascua del Nacimiento de Jesús. Estas tres solemnidades cristianas celebran tres momentos claves en el plan de salvación: la Encarnación del Verbo Divino (Jesús), su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección y el descenso de su Espíritu Santo sobre la Iglesia. Pascua viene siendo el nombre de la principal solemnidad del calendario Judío y recuerda la liberación del pueblo de Israel de la esclavitud. Los cristianos hemos tomado ese nombre por reconocernos como descendientes de Abraham y porque en nuestras tres pascuas celebramos que Jesús viene a salvarnos, o sea, a liberarnos del pecado y sus consecuencias tanto personales como sociales. En muchas partes el titulo de Pascua se ha dejado para hablar de la fiesta de la Navidad y la fiesta de Pentecostés. Esto es una lástima ya que el recordar la Pascua debe impulsar al cristiano a obrar por la liberación de todos para que el mundo se salve por Jesucristo. 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 proclaman que Jesús es el Señor. Encontrarás que ningún pueblo ni raza ha sido excluido; ningún idioma del mundo es incapaz de proclamar la gloria de Dios. Decimos que el Domingo de Pentecostés es el “cumpleaños de la Iglesia”. En diversas maneras, la Iglesia todavía 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 Santo. San Pablo nos asegura 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 barrera nos impide abrazarnos en un solo Cuerpo de Cristo? ¿Cuándo vamos a reconocer que nuestras diferencias son manifestaciones de un mismo Espíritu Santo?
