Pentecost Sunday
The Wind and Fire Within
There is a tremendous love affair going on,
of which the Holy Spirit is the witness. For
what were we created? For a love affair with
God! For a oneness with God that nothing
can break. For this the Holy Spirit has come.
For this, the symbol of the Wind is lifting us
up. For this, the symbol of Fire cleanses us
and makes our soul afire with love. . . .
Here Christ says something fantastic that should send
shivers down our spines, that we should hold in our hearts
and never let go: “As the Father sends me, so I am sending
you.” He said it to the apostles, but what he says is meant for
you and me. And it means that we have to go.
Whoever we are, old or young, rich or poor—what is our
real vocation? Whatever other vocations God might send us,
the very essential vocation of the Christian is apostolic. An
apostle is one who is sent by someone bigger than himself.
That is you and me. It does not matter if we have any education.
Nothing matters, because he has sent us, and he has
said, “Open your mouth and I will speak.” On the feast of
Pentecost the Holy Spirit, Wind and Fire, came to teach us
what to say. We must have no worries, no inferiority complexes,
because we are God’s.
“As my Father sends me, so I am sending you.” To do what?
To preach the Good News. The Good News is the incarnation,
life, crucifixion, resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the affirmation
of the new covenant: Love your God with your whole
heart, your whole mind, your whole soul; and love your neighbour
as yourself. He said, “By this you shall be known as my
disciples: that you love one another as I have loved you.” So:
“As my Father sent me, so I am sending you. Show them that
you are my disciples. Love one another as I have loved you.”
The Holy Spirit comes as Fire and Wind to cleanse the
heart so there is no impediment for God to pass through.
Whether we are rich or poor, learned or unlearned—there
are so many services to be done. Even those who are sick or
incapacitated in some way show the features of Christ; there
is a “usefulness of uselessness.” After all, the most useful hours
that Christ spent on this earth were on the cross, though they
seem utterly useless from our pragmatic point of view.
These are the verities that the Holy Spirit will bring to us.
Let us open ourselves not only to the Wind that blows away
all leaves and all trash, but also to the Fire that burns and
cleanses at the same time. We can have the Fire and the Wind
touch us, because that is what the Holy Spirit came for.

to bring a dish to share. Everyone is invited
to share in the celebration!
CALL ON THE
HOLY SPIRIT
The action that the Holy Spirit
carries out, in guiding the
Church and within each of us, was the theme
chosen by Pope Francis for his catechesis in
his general audience on May 15th:
“This is a prayer that we need to say every day:
'Holy Spirit, make my heart open to God's Word
so that my heart might be open to good, so that
my heart might be open to God's beauty every
day.' Let me ask you: how many of you pray to
the Holy Spirit every day? It will be few of you,
but we must satisfy this desire for Jesus and
pray every day to the Holy Spirit that He might
open our hearts to Jesus.”
REST IN PEACE

Pentecost Sunday
Happy Birthday!
May is a month traditionally
On our cover is an artist’s depiction of a scene
from the Pentecost that
appears in the Cathedral
Basilica of St. Louis. The feast marks the
occasion of the descent of the Holy Spirit
upon the apostles 50 days after Christ’s
resurrection. Pentecost is Greek for the
50th day. It is also referred to as the birthday of the Church because, from that point
on, the Apostles carried forth the message
of Christ to the world.
Love is the guarantee that the Life of
Spirit is growing in us. Love is the sign
of the Holy Spirit at work in the
Church and in the world.” —Thomas Merton
Kid’s Corner
Jesus said: “The Advocate,
the Holy Spirit whom the
Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything and
remind you of all that I told
you.” Find the fruits of the
Holy Spirit in the word search below.

dedicated to honoring the
Blessed Virgin Mary. In our
churches and homes, we celebrate
May as a “Marian month,” with May
processions, May crownings, and
other popular devotions in honor of
the Mother of God. This Marian
month falls during the liturgical
season of Easter. We thus particularly emphasize Our Blessed Mother’s participation in the
Paschal Mystery and her presence with the Church in preparation for Pentecost, as she prayed with the disciples in the upper
room while they awaited the descent of the Holy Spirit.
In the month of May, the Church calls us to open our hearts in
a special way to Mary. Her presence in our lives is a motherly
presence. We call her Our Blessed Mother. Indeed, from the
Cross, Jesus gave her to us as our Mother and entrusted us to
her as her children. Jesus’ words to John, the beloved disciple,
were also addressed to all of us: Behold your mother! From the
cross, Jesus gave us the beautiful gift of his mother to be our
mother, too. He made his mother the mother of all the members of his Mystical Body, the Church. Jesus invites us to accept
Mary as our mother and to respond to her motherly love as
true children.
Catholic devotion to Mary is, therefore, based on the will of
Christ. Blessed John Paul II explained that “the words, Behold
your mother!, express Jesus’ intention to inspire in his disciples
an attitude of love for and trust in Mary, leading them to recognize her as their mother, the mother of every believer. At the
school of the Virgin, the disciples learn to know the Lord
deeply, as John did, and to have an intimate and lasting relationship of love with him. They also discover the joy of entrusting themselves to the Mother’s maternal love, living like affectionate and docile children.”
Mary always leads us to Jesus, her Son. When we go to her, we
always meet Jesus, our Savior. She helps us follow her Son
more faithfully. May we all, like Saint John, take Mary into our
home and make room for her in our daily lives. God has entrusted to her the role of maternal intercession for us. She is
Our Mother of Perpetual Help: she sees our needs and is ready
to come to our aid. She is especially close to those who are
suffering. The most ancient Marian prayer expresses Mary’s
role as our advocate: We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of
God; despise not our petitions in our necessities but deliver us
always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.” Mary
presents our needs to her Son and intercedes continually on
our behalf. May the Mother given to us by Christ on the cross
be ever at our side!

Domingo de Pentecostés
19 de mayo 2013
Pinceladas sobre el Espíritu Santo
Las lecturas del tiempo pascual hoy alcanzan su punto culminante. Para apreciarlas, recuerda cuando actuabas con seguridad, firme y confiado, convencido de hacer
lo correcto. Quizá fue difícil, pero era claramente lo correcto. Saborea ese recuerdo
vivificador por breves minutos, y vuelve a leer los textos de Hechos de los Apóstoles,
Corintios y Juan. ¿Cuál de ellos resuena con más claridad con tu experiencia?
Todos los textos de hoy describen un empoderamiento que trasciende los límites
humanos. Incluso algo tan particular a cada cultura como el lenguaje, hace que, milagrosamente que todos se comuniquen. En una versión contemporánea de los Hechos
de los Apóstoles, imagina a gente de Baltimore, Moscú, Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Kabul,
Kampala y Roma conversando claramente. Esta es la imagen de lo paso en Jerusalén aquel día especial.
Según la carta a los Corintios 1, nuestros dones diferentes son manifestaciones del único Espíritu. Así,
cuando exploramos la memoria de una acción segura y firme, bebemos, quizá sin saberlo, de esa fuente de
energía y creatividad que llenó a los primeros discípulos y a los santos. Tal y como ellos recibieron la fuerza de
Cristo para perdonar y crear, también nosotros. Además, estamos unidos unos con otros, de modo que las fortalezas de uno compensan las deficiencias de otro.
¿Por qué pudieron ellos —y nosotros - hacer cosas tan extraordinarias? La respuesta la tiene Juan. La paz
de Cristo que nos llena sobrepasa nuestras inclinaciones mezquinas, las ansiedades y los defectos. Si confiamos en el don del Espíritu que nos mueve, podemos perdonar misericordiosamente, servir compasivamente, y
curar el cuerpo sufriente de Cristo.
