F irst Reading: Acts 2:1-11

All three of today’s Scripture readings examine the activities of the Holy Spirit, but from different points of view. The Acts of the Apostles describes the descent of the Holy Spirit using imagery employed in the book of Exodus to depict the descent of God upon Mount Sinai. As a result of this divine manifestation, Jesus' followers are empowered to proclaim the Gospel with vigor and dynamism to all the nations.

S econd Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3-7,12-13

In our second reading, Paul teaches that each Christian is given different gifts by the Holy Spirit to be used for the betterment of the entire Church. The Spirit also brings a profound unity amid such great diversity of gifts.

G ospel: John 20:19-23

This passage from the Gospel of John reveals another consequence of the Spirit’s presence. The Spirit empowers the Church to be a healing and reconciling presence in the world.

We invite you to prayerfully reflect on the Readings for the week of May 15

PENTECOST

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem: "

Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?

Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?" (Acts 2: 1-11)

Jesus said to them again, "“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I send you." And when he

said this, he breathed on them and said to them, " Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:19-23)

Today we celebrate Pentecost, the Birthday of the Church. We praise God for the gifts of the Holy Spirit given to each of us. Here is a reflection I hope you will enjoy. Max is an eighth-grader at St. Louis Priory School in St. Louis, Missouri. Shortly after the

tensions in nearby Ferguson last year, Max asked his mom if he and his brother could drive down to Ferguson to help with the cleanup. She understandably declined to send them into an active riot zone.

Still, Max and his brother felt they needed to do something, so they went online and looked up a list of the businesses that had been damaged. They found the name of one of the owners and called her. She hung up on them. So they drove to her house. For three and a half hours, they sat in her living room and listened to her anger. The bottom line: Unless they had $20,000, there wasn't much they could do. So Max went home and started an online petition, and eight days later, they had raised $20,608. And Maria Flores rebuilt her business.

When Max and his brother saw injustice, they didn't lash out in anger. They didn't choose a side. They listened - they listened carefully. They reached out with their hearts, they created a partnership - and the answer spoke itself.[ From "Listening in Ferguson: It's not all black and white" by J. Augustine Wetta, O.S.B., America, March 9, 2015.]

The real miracle of Pentecost is not what was said but what was heard: the Spirit of God overcomes the barriers of language and perception, opening not only people's minds but their hearts to hear the Gospel of the Risen Christ. That same Spirit of God enables us to listen to the voice of God in the context of God's peace, justice and compassion, enabling us to hear what God actually speaks and not what we want or hope or wish to hear. As on Pentecost, God's Spirit continues to speak in the love of the Beatitudes, in the forgiveness of the prodigal's father, in the generosity of the Good Samaritan, in the hope of the resurrection. The gift of Pentecost faith enables us, as it enabled Max and his brother, to hear the voice of God speaking in the midst of the clamor and busyness, the pain and despair of one another's lives, and now inviting us to embrace the life and love of God.

As we celebrate Pentecost we strive to draw closer to Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit as we journey home to our Father.

Happy Pentecost! Father John

May 15, 2016 Pentecost Sunday

“And I will cause Wonders in the heaven’s above and signs on the earth below.”

Assumption Parish Morristown, NJ

BREATHING IN THE SPIRIT The Spirit who Christ gives us is a Spirit of

reconciliation. After breathing on the disciples, Jesus tells them that whatever sins they forgive will be forgiven. If we are to follow the Risen Lord, we must be agents of forgiveness to others. Adults: Am I aware of someone I need to forgive? Am

I willing to take one step to make reconciliation more possible?

Children: Am I sometimes mean to others? Am I willing to treat them better because Jesus asks me to do so?

A Family Perspective: Within the family, the domestic Church, we learn how to forgive and we learn to accept forgiveness. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit that enables us to do both. As you gather together as a family, sit quietly for a few minutes, inviting all to reflect upon their need to forgive and to receive forgiveness. If there is a situation or issue within the family that needs attention, spend some time reflecting upon the concern and how your family might address it. Talk together about how Jesus gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit to help us in the work of forgiveness and to bring us peace.

Joe was not born a musician. As an infant, he had a rare condition in which his

fingers on each hand were webbed together. When doctors asked Joe, then just three

years old, why he wanted them separated, he responded, "to play piano". Two

surgeries later, he took up piano and never stopped. Growing up on a small family farm, Joe was among the 1100 residents of Iroquois, Ontario, Canada. The rural town

provided the space, tranquility and fresh air he needed to develop as an artist. He

began by honing his piano skills, then taught himself guitar.

Following university, Joe began working in a campus chaplaincy, where he

continues today. There he benefits from being surrounded by students who are searching for meaning. As

they share their joys and sorrows with him, his empathetic heart overflows into his songwriting. Joe has

travelled across Canada, USA, India, Australia and New Zealand, sharing his reflective, soaring folk songs.

Following his debut album Coming Home (2005), he released You Are I Am (2008), There and Here

(2009) Sleeper, Rise (2012). His latest EP is Brothers and was recorded at his parent's farmhouse with his brother Nick.

A spiritual event that deepens the faith of teens and families,

uniting us all as we pray for peace in this
