PENTECOST SUNDAY
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?
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
“Order” and “presbyter” are not everyday words in our vocabulary, since we think of
order as a quality of life rather than a collective noun, and “priest” usually does just fine in
everyday conversation. Yet each word has deep roots in our tradition. At an ordination we
select men for service to the community. Ordo is a Latin word drawn not from pagan religious life but from Imperial Rome. It meant a distinct body standing apart from the people, such as a body of people responsible for civil governance, senators for example.
Think of the selectmen or board of governors in your civic home, and you will get the
idea. The church borrowed the term to describe the place of certain people within the people of God, thus the “order of deacons,” “the order of presbyters,” and even “the order of
virgins, catechumens, widows, neophytes, penitents,” and so on, as distinct groups within
the church.
Just as ancient Rome had various uniforms for the ranks and stations in civil life, so
too did certain garments give clues to membership in an “order” in the church. So, our
tradition favors the idea of an ordination liturgy not as receiving something so much as
being received. This is clearly expressed in the liturgy. The “kiss of peace” is given only
by the ordaining bishop and priests to the newly “ordained,” not by the faithful, the deacons, or the concelebrating bishops who are present.

Tips for preventing abduction
Teaching children about abduction safety is important, but the ultimate responsibility lies
with trusted adults. One thing you can do is use role-playing scenarios to help children
learn how to recognize and respond to risky situations. To learn more about abduction
and how to better protect your child please email [email protected]

DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTÉS
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?
