Pentecost
Come Holy Spirit! “And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” – John 20:22-23 This weekend the church celebrates the great feast of Pentecost. We celebrate this feast fifty days after Easter, hence the name. We read the account in the Acts of the Apostles of how the Holy Spirit came to rest on the disciples and empowered them to go forth and spread the Good News. We read of tongues of fire resting upon the disciples, there being a noise like a strong wind, and people hearing their words in their native tongues. In today’s Gospel from St. John, Jesus says that He would send an advocate, or paraclete, to watch and guide His disciples. This became a reality for them and remains with us to this day. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit. Some refer to this day as the birthday of the Church. Some churches celebrate by having baptisms and confirmations on this day. Parishes might release doves or pigeons symbolizing the Holy Spirit. Many parishioners dress in red in unity with the fire of the Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit the apostles were empowered and had the spiritual tools to go out to all nations proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that Peter baptized 3000 people that day. This tradition continues 2000 years later. Despite the many challenges and hardships Christians have faced over the centuries, the Church continues to grow. Through their baptism, all Christians are called by Christ to proclaim Jesus Christ as savior and invite others into a relationship with Him. In our diocese, our mission and vision is to Courageously Live the Gospel. Our radio station, Spirit FM, encourages you to Live with Spirit. It’s not always easy, but if we open our heart to allow the Holy Spirit to guide us in all we say and do, those fears will turn to courageous boldness. Have the courage to open your heart to the Holy Spirit today. -Bishop Gregory Parkes
LORD, SEND OUT YOUR SPIRIT
In today’s responsorial psalm the Church sings out: “Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.” All three readings describe how God has answered that prayer already. In the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles and in the Gospel passage from John, we read of astonishing events that called cowering disciples to step out of hiding and proclaim news that would condemn them and change the world forever! In the second reading Paul’s words reach out into the future to us: “we were all given to drink of one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). It is our task to truly pray today’s psalm response. Let us together beg the Holy Spirit to renew the earth by renewing the Church, sending many more men and women to serve in its various ministries.

Our Public Masses Have Resumed With Nuestra Misas Publicas Se Reanuden Con Revised Mass Schedule and Safety Horario de Misas Revisado y Protocolos Protocols In Effect de Seguridad En Efecto (Face masks are mandatory for people who attend mass).
Here are some details of some changes to expect. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still in effect and will be until further notice. Everyone must use main entrance and follow the instructions of the ushers. Please be patient. The side doors are ONLY emergency exits. They are marked by green crosses. People who live in the same home may sit together. Ushers will greet each person and show them to their seat. In order to properly disinfect after each Mass, the Sunday schedule will be:
Saturday 4:00 pm Sunday 7am, 9am & 11am, Spanish at 1pm Please limit private prayer after mass to no longer than 5 minutes so our volunteers can properly disinfect the church. The chapel and cry room will remain closed. There will be a collection basket at the entrance. No basket will be passed around and there will be no basket bearers. Hand sanitizer dispensers are in the Narthex as you enter and leave. No holding hands at Our Father and no contact peace. Ushers will direct section by section in a single line at three communion spots. Communion is ONLY distributed on the hand, not the tongue, for the time being at Incarnation. Please respect other’s space in communion line with proper distance.
Las mascarillas son obligatorias para las personas que asisten a misa.
A continuación, detalles de algunos cambios a implementar: Continúa la dispensa de no asistir a la Misa de Domingo, hasta próximo aviso. Todos debemos usar la puerta principal de la iglesia, así como seguir las instrucciones de los acomodadores (ujieres). Por favor ejercitemos la paciencia. Las puertas laterales de la iglesia se usarían SOLO en emergencia. Siga la guía de las marcas con cinta verde en los bancos. Los ujieres (acomodadores) cortésmente le indicarán los espacios disponibles. Las personas que viven en una misma casa pueden sentarse juntos en el mismo banco. En atención al hecho de que debemos desinfectar los bancos después de cada misa, el horario de celebración de misas es como sigue:
Sábado: 4:00 p.m. Domingo: 7am, 9am & 11am, 1:00 p.m. en Español La capilla y el cuarto para familias con niños pequeños permanecerán cerrados. Canasta de colecta: las encontraremos a la entrada. No pasaremos la canasta dentro de la misa y por el momento las especies para la consagración serán colocados en la mesa cerca del altar en lugar de llevarlos en procesión. Tendrá la oportunidad de higienizar sus manos a la entrada/ salida del templo. No unirnos de manos durante el Padre Nuestro; no contacto en el saludo de la Paz. Los Ujieres dirigen a los comulgantes a formar una sola fila para la comunión, la cual se hará por sección, habrán tres estaciones para recibir la Comunión. Por el momento, La Comunión será distribuida solo en la mano, no sobre la lengua. Por favor mantenga la distancia entre personas en la fila para recibir la Comunión.

Pentecostés
¡Ven, Espíritu Santo! Después de decir esto, sopló sobre ellos y les dijo: “Reciban el Espíritu Santo. A los que les perdonen los pecados, les quedarán perdonados; y a los que no se los perdonen, les quedarán sin perdonar”. – Juan 20, 22-23 Este fin de semana la Iglesia celebra la gran fiesta de Pentecostés. Celebramos esta fiesta cincuenta días después de la Pascua, de ahí su nombre. Leemos en los Hechos de los Apóstoles el relato de cómo el Espíritu Santo se posó sobre los discípulos y les dio el poder de salir a difundir la buena nueva. Y también que las lenguas de fuego se posaron sobre los discípulos, que hubo un ruido como de un viento fuerte y que la gente escuchó sus palabras en sus lenguas maternas. En el Evangelio de san Juan para el día de hoy, Jesús dice que enviaría un abogado, o consolador, para cuidar y guiar a sus discípulos. Esto se convirtió en una realidad para ellos y ese mismo don permanece aún con nosotros. Es el don del Espíritu Santo. Algunos se refieren a este día como el nacimiento de la Iglesia. Algunas iglesias lo celebran con bautismos y confirmaciones en este día. Las parroquias pudieran echar a volar palomas o pichones que simbolizan el Espíritu Santo. Muchos feligreses se visten de rojo como símbolo del fuego del Espíritu. Por el Espíritu Santo los apóstoles recibieron el poder y los dones espirituales para ir a todas las naciones y proclamar la buena nueva de Jesucristo. La Escritura nos dice que Pedro bautizó a 3,000 personas ese día. Esta tradición continúa después de 2,000 años. A pesar de los muchos retos y dificultades que los cristianos han afrontado a lo largo de los siglos, la Iglesia sigue creciendo. Por el bautismo todo cristiano es llamado por el mismo Jesucristo a proclamarlo y a invitar a otras personas a una relación con él. En nuestra diócesis, nuestra misión y visión es Vivir Valientemente el Evangelio. Nuestra emisora de radio, Spirit FM, te anima a vivir según el Espíritu. No siempre es fácil, pero si abrimos nuestro corazón para permitir que el Espíritu Santo nos guíe en todo lo que decimos y hacemos, nuestros temores serán remplazados por la valentía. Ten el valor de abrirle tu corazón al Espíritu Santo hoy mismo. -Monseñor Gregory Parkes LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Espíritu Santo desciende sobre los apóstoles (Hechos 2:1-11). Salmo — Envía, Señor, tu Espíritu, a renovar la tierra. Aleluya (Salmo 104 [103]). Segunda lectura — Hemos sido bautizados en el mismo Espíritu para formar un solo cuerpo (1 Cor 12:3b-7, 12-13) o Gálatas 5:1625. Evangelio — Jesús se hizo presente a los discípulos y les trajo su paz. Les envío en su misión con poder para perdonar o atar los pecados por el Espíritu Santo (Juan 20:19-23) o Juan 15:26-27; 16:12-15.
