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?
