MASS SCHEDULE
RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT At last! The power hinted at and the Spirit promised are unleashed on this holy day. We call it the birthday of the church. Try to listen to today’s scripture passages with some sense of how electrifying these events must have been to those who lived through them. Up until now, they have been waiting in the upper room. In today’s first reading, that room is filled with wind and fire and bold proclamations in foreign tongues. In the second reading, Paul describes the Pentecost event, too. His description includes all of us. The Spirit lives on in the church in each of us who are members of the Body of Christ, given different gifts from the same Spirit. Only after Pentecost could the apostles look back and understand what Jesus meant when he said, as reported in today’s Gospel reading, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Before there was water, there was fire. Once in a while, a volcano hints at the sizzling magma upon which the whole human enterprise floats. Over eons, the surface cooled off a bit, and rain sizzled down for thousands of centuries, filling the oceans and sculpting the earth. We Christians can catch God’s glory in a shimmering pool of water, but we can also capture God’s burning desire to fan the tiny flames of our baptismal candles into something that will make a difference. In Sicily to this day, there is a custom of scattering rose petals down from the ceiling of church on the heads of the faithful, an effective reminder of the “tongues of flame” descending on the apostles, and a sign that the Holy Spirit still is poured out on the baptized. It is not merely a quaint custom, but a fairly potent sign of what baptism does. An interesting sidebar: if you have traced the Epiphany blessing on your doorway in chalk, Pentecost is the day to erase it. From now on, no need to rely on the “wise men”—you are alive in the Spirit! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Thought for the Day: “Freedom consists of not doing what we like, but in having the right to do we ought.” — St. John
“In this period of crisis today, it is important not to turn in on ourselves, burying our own talent, our spiritual, intellectual, and material riches, everything that the Lord has given us; but, rather to open ourselves, to be supportive, to be attentive to others. Set your stakes on great ideals, the ideals that enlarge the heart, the ideals of service that make your talents fruitful. Life is not given to us to be jealously guarded for ourselves, but is given to us so that we may give it in turn.” Pope Francis |4

Domingo de Pentecostés 8 de junio de 2014 Entonces aparecieron lenguas de fuego, que se distribuyeron y se posaron sobre ellos.
— Hechos 2:3 Domingo 8 de Junio. Pentecostés Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios La fiesta de Pentecostés es la Fiesta del Espíritu Santo, la Fiesta del nacimiento de la Iglesia de Jesús y como Iglesia estamos invitados a permanecer despiertos para recibirlo; no para inventar nuevos métodos de oración sino para dejar que el Espíritu nos mueva y enseñe a vivir como Jesús; a ser personas que viven según el Espíritu Santo. En este mundo en que hay tantas iglesias y todo tipo de predicadores, hay gente que pregunta: ¿quién me garantiza que estoy en la verdadera iglesia? La Palabra de Dios nos dice que el Espíritu Santo es el origen y el vínculo que une a Jesús con su Iglesia. Cuando Jesús nace en Belén es por obra del Espíritu, y cuando la Iglesia nace en Jerusalén es por obra del Espíritu: "todos estaban reunidos en un lugar y todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo" Cuando Jesús inicia su ministerio es bajo el poder del Espíritu en su bautismo. Cuando Jesús recorre el país anunciando el Reino de Dios, es guiado por el Espíritu. Cuando los Apóstoles se abren a los gentiles, son guiados por el poder del Espíritu Santo. La historia de la Iglesia desde hace más de dos mil años no es la historia de los hombres, sino la historia que el Espíritu Santo ha escrito a través de unos hombres que se dejaron guiar por el Espíritu Santo. La Iglesia de Jesús, la Iglesia Católica, fue, es y será edificada por el mejor arquitecto, el Espíritu Santo. Este arquitecto necesita muchos colaboradores y estos somos nosotros pero tenemos que conocer los planos y obedecer al arquitecto. No podemos edificar a nuestro antojo, sería otra iglesia, es así como surgen tantas iglesias como modas de vestir o de cuanto hay en el comercio. El Espíritu Santo, el arquitecto del Padre, en Pentecostés, edifica no una torre de Babel que es orgullo, ambición, confusión y obra humana, sino una Iglesia, una comunidad en la que todos tienen el mismo fuego, el mismo Espíritu y todos hablan la misma lengua y todos quieren construir la casa de Dios. Todos reunidos en el mismo lugar, todos llenos del mismo Espíritu, todos hablando la misma lengua, todos unidos entorno al mismo Señor, todos nacidos por obra del mismo Espíritu, todos viviendo la vida del Espíritu. San Pablo, hombre del Espíritu, nos recuerda que el Espíritu Santo distribuye dones diferentes a cada uno de sus servidores. Los dones que el Espíritu nos da no son para nuestro lucimiento sino para el bien de todos, para la edificación de toda la iglesia. La Iglesia nunca estará terminada si nosotros enterramos nuestros dones y si no colaboramos con el arquitecto. Todos necesitamos del Espíritu Santo. En la Fiesta de Pentecostés, todos podemos recibir el regalo de Jesús: El Espíritu Santo. Para perdonar, alabar, pertenecer, hablar el idioma de Dios, congregar y revelar las mil caras de Dios. "Sin el Espíritu Santo, Dios queda lejos, Cristo permanece en el pasado, el evangelio es letra muerta, la Iglesia pura organización, la autoridad tiranía, la misión propaganda, el culto mero recuerdo y la práctica cristiana una moral de esclavos. P. Jairo No tengan miedo Esto lo dijo el ángel Gabriel a María: “No tengas miedo” Y esto mismo a José. Cristo lo dijo a los Apóstoles, y a Pedro en varias ocasiones. Y al profeta Jeremías, y a Moisés. Esas palabras pronunciadas por Cristo también las repite la Iglesia. Y con la Iglesia las repite también el Papa. ¡No tengan miedo! Pero ¿De qué no debemos tener miedo?
9|
No debemos temer a la verdad de nosotros mismos, es decir, a nuestra realidad de seres limitados; que en muchos momentos no damos la talla: queremos hacer el bien y sin embargo hacemos el mal. Tenemos miedo a nosotros mismos, a nuestras inquietudes y sobre todo a nuestras contradicciones. También nos dan miedo los demás, nos aterroriza quedar mal, hacer el ridículo, la crítica, los comentarios, todo aquello que sentimos como amenaza a nuestro alrededor, el no llevar la corriente, no seguir la moda, sentirnos atrasados, el rechazo, y Cristo sigue diciéndonos: ¡No tengas miedo de los hombres! Tampoco tengas miedo de Dios. No tengáis miedo de decir ¡PADRE!, desear incluso ser perfecto como lo es Él. Quizás, aquí es donde radican todos nuestros miedos, queremos certezas, seguridades, queremos tener a Dios tan visible, tan palpable, tan presente que nos olvidamos que Cristo es el Sacramento, el Signo visible del Dios invisible. ¡No tengan miedo de Dios que se ha hecho hombre!

PENTECOSTÉS A menos que el ojo se encienda, no podrá ver a Dios.
