Draw upon the Gifts of the Holy Spirit All of us have had the experience of being separated from loved ones at some point. Remember when you were a child and your parents left you with a babysitter or with a neighbor if they had to go out of town for a few days? Most of us probably cried or even threw a tantrum. We were devastated that mom or dad would leave us. How could they do that? Would they come back? They would try to say some consoling words for us to understand, but as a child those words were of little comfort, and often difficult to comprehend. This weekend’s Gospel comes from John, chapter 14. Jesus is sharing the Passover meal with His disciples, in what is referred to as the Last Supper discourse. He gives them final instructions before undergoing His passion and death. They likely didn’t understand all that He was saying, but still listened intently. They were sad at the thought of Jesus leaving them, but He tried to console them by ensuring them that He would send another advocate, the Spirit, who would be with them always. He spoke to them as a father would speak to his children and He wanted to be loving and reassuring. The Holy Spirit is our guide through life, a consoler, an advocate, the paraclete as He is called. Life’s journey can be difficult: pressures at work, school, relationships, and health issues can all take their toll. Jesus tells us to pray in all things. He knew His physical time on Earth would be short, so He sent the Holy Spirit, not only to His disciples, but to us as well, to be with us, and guide us in all things. The Holy Spirit gives us many gifts: wisdom, when we need guidance; understanding, when searching for truth; counsel, to stand for truth when needed; fortitude in times of weakness; knowledge to know the faith; piety when our faith might waiver; and a reverential fear of the Lord, when we put our hope in others instead of God. Draw upon these gifts and pray for the Holy Spirit to always be with you, in every aspect of your life. -Bishop Gregory Parkes THE REASON FOR OUR HOPE “What is the reason for your hope?” Imagine somebody coming up to you and asking you that question. Not “What are you hoping for?” or “What are you hoping to do?” No, this isn’t about our desires for possessions or aspirations for life, it’s “Why do you hope?” Peter today tells us that we ought to be ready to give an answer to this question. Truth be told, few of us spend much time thinking about why we hope. Luckily, the scriptures today give us our answers. We hope because Christ suffered for us, in order that we might come to God. We hope because we know that, in the Spirit, God grants us another Advocate through Christ to remain with us always. No matter what we might hope for, whatever we might hope to do, we must always first know and proclaim the reason for our hope: the presence of God in Christ, with us through the power of the Spirit.

7 Haz uso de los dones del Espíritu Santo
Todos hemos pasado por la experiencia de separarnos de nuestros seres amados en algún momento de nuestra vida. ¿Recuerdas cuando eras niño y tus padres te dejaron con la niñera o con un vecino si tuvieron que viajar fuera por unos días? Muchos de nosotros probablemente hallamos llorado o hasta montamos un berrinche. Estábamos devastados porque nuestros padres nos dejaran. ¿Cómo pudieron hacer eso? ¿Regresarán? Ellos trataban de decirnos palabras consoladoras que pudiéramos entender, pero como niño al fin esas palabras eran de poco alivio y a menudo difíciles de comprender. El Evangelio de este domingo es del capítulo 14 de san Juan. Jesús comparte la cena pascual con sus discípulos en lo que se ha llegado a conocer como la Última Cena y las instrucciones que les da, antes su pasión y muerte, las llamamos su Discurso de Despedida. Es probable que ellos no entendieran todo lo que les estaba diciendo, pero así y todo lo escuchaban con mucha atención. Ellos estaban tristes de pensar que Jesús los dejaba, pero él trató de consolarlos asegurándoles que les enviaría otro defensor, el Espíritu, quien permanecería con ellos para siempre. Les habló como un padre les habla a sus hijos, y por eso les brindó ternura y tranquilidad. El Espíritu Santo es nuestra guía a través de la vida y correctamente le llamamos consolador, defensor y paracleto. La vida puede ser difícil: presiones en el trabajo, en la escuela, en nuestras relaciones, así como la salud pueden tener un grave efecto en nuestra vida. Jesús nos pide recurrir a la oración en cualquier circunstancia. Sabía que su tiempo físico en la tierra sería corto, por eso envió el Espíritu Santo, no sólo a sus discípulos, sino también a nosotros por igual, para quedarse entre nosotros y guiarnos en todo momento. El Espíritu Santo nos da muchos dones: sabiduría, cuando necesitamos guía; entendimiento, cuando buscamos la verdad; consejo, para defender la verdad cuando sea necesario; fortaleza en tiempos de debilidad; conocimiento para conocer la fe; piedad si nuestra fe flaqueara; y un temor reverencial al Señor, para que no pongamos nuestra esperanza más que en Dios. Haz uso de estos dones y ora para que el Espíritu Santo esté siempre contigo en cada aspecto de tu vida. Monseñor Gregory Parkes LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura —Pedro y Juan les impusieron las manos, y recibieron el Espíritu Santo (Hechos 8:5-8, 14-17).
