June 9, 2019 – Pentecost Sunday Reflection by Rev. Leonard N. Peterson “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” These words of the late Nelson Mandela have a particular relevance to this weekend’s great feast of Pentecost. For Pentecost is mostly about language, and what the Holy Spirit did with it to launch a Church. Our Church. So rightly do we think of it as the birthday of the Church. Ordinary men were chosen beforehand for an extraordinary mission. Now they were given one of their primary tools to speak to the world about a man who happened to be God in the flesh. They knew, and we know from the Gospel that this God-Man, Our Lord Jesus Christ, spoke forcefully and prayed intently for unity among peoples. So it must have come as no surprise, once they stepped back from their initial amazement at the method, to recognize it as the Holy Spirit’s way of supporting their mission and encouraging their faith. Now we moderns know the power of language. In a world suddenly grown smaller from what it was, say 20 or even 10 years ago with the arrival of electronic wizardry, language is still our basic tool of communication. The linguistic arts, in writing and storytelling still are our most popular form of entertainment. But there is another side to language, aside from its slips into slang, that has the power to destroy unity. That is softening the reality, to the point that inhumane activities go unchecked. One widespread example: the use of the words “pro choice” to hide “pro murder of the unborn.” There is another softening device, if you will, that involves using so-called “modal verbs” like “would, could or might” to create a little distance between your honest and true strong opinion and your choice of words to express yourself. It comes with a hope that your listeners will be more receptive to what you say. Nowhere in His discourse did Jesus turn to such words. In fact, His very directness repeatedly got Him in trouble. That is why, in our politically over sensitive context, the mere mention of His name is off-putting for so many people. His Church and her teaching suffer the same disdain. So here we are at the great feast of Pentecost, hearing again about the marvelous event that started it all. If we really pay attention, this task of the apostles that began with a touch of the spectacular is nonetheless our task as well. In our ordinary circumstances, we are to be proclaimers of Christ. No matter what our native language is. We take courage from what St. Paul writes to the Corinthians, namely “to each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” Yet we have to be careful and wise. Many believers who would share Christ have more zeal than knowledge and offend more than they communicate. You may have heard of the barber who was newly saved and was eager to witness to his experience with Jesus Christ. As he met his first customer the next day, he was sharpening his straight razor on the leather strap. His initial approach to his customer was, “Are you ready to die?” One can imagine what went through the customer’s mind as he viewed the finely honed razor. As the cliche goes, “If we don’t use tact, we may lose contact.” First Reading: Acts 2:1-11 The annual celebration of Pentecost, “the fiftieth day” from the Passover, brought Jews from all of Israel to Jerusalem. On that special day, each of them heard ordinary Galileans speaking in their native languages. Second Reading: I Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 Paul writes the criterion for anyone saying “Jesus is Lord.” He then delineates the various gifts that people may have, all of them derived from the same Holy Spirit. The Church, like our body, is one entity with many parts. Gospel: John 20:19-23 Jesus’ appearance to the disciples in Jerusalem shows that He kept His promise to return to them. Displaying His scarred hands and side identifies Him further to the baffled group. Jesus then empowers them to bestow the Holy Spirit on all the believers. .
San Miguel Arcángel,defendernos en la batalla, Sé nuestra protección contra la maldad y las trampas del diablo. Que Dios lo reprenda, oremos humildemente; y haz tú, oh príncipe de la hueste celestial,por el poder de Dios, arroja al infierno Satanás y todos los espíritus malignos que vagan por el mundo buscando la ruina de souan Amen
