Pentecost Sunday
June 9, 2019
Dear Parishioners and Friends:
“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When Jesus had said this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you for-give the sins of any, they are forgiven …” [John 20:21b-23a]
Peace is the first gift of the Spirit, but it flows from forgiveness. What can you say when someone you love and have hurt deeply comes offering you peace? Such vulnerability and up front gift of intimacy is fright-ening, but John says that the disciples rejoiced. I bet their joy had some confusion to it, because after he left they didn’t go anywhere; even though he sent them out, they weren’t ready yet.
Pentecost is end of fifty days of Easter but only the beginning of the burgeoning life of the Church and the new creation. Resurrection dawns upon us only through the light of the Holy Spirit. As we let those gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit flow through us, we become more alive than ever, more awake, more our-selves, our true selves. Ready or not, Christ is Risen and has entrusted his mission of witnessing the Good News of hope and new life to us! We are the ones the world has been waiting for!
Question for the week: Having received the gift of the Holy Spirit, how can I assist in renewing the face of the earth? Recycle? Exercise? Pick up trash? Pray with someone? Forgive someone?
Word for the week: PENTECOST: (means “fifty” in Greek!) 50 days after Passover (Easter) is the Jewish feast of springtime: the Feast of Weeks, Feast of the New Harvest, Feast of the New Wine. But because of the outpouring of the Spirit and the witnessing of the apostles, it is also the birthday of the ancient church.
Come, O Holy Spirit, come !
Your Pastor, Fr. Bob
Domingo de Pentecostés
9 de Junio, 2019
Queridos Feligreses y Amigos:
“Que la Paz este con ustedes. Como el Padre me en-vió, así yo os envío.” Cuando Jesús había dicho esto, so-plo sobre ellos y dijo, “Reciban el Espíritu Santo. Los pe-cados que perdonasen serán perdonados…” [Juan 20:21b-23a]
La Paz es el primer fruto del Espíritu, pero mana del perdón. ¿Que puedes decir cuando alguien que amas y te ha herido profundamente viene ofreciéndote la paz? Tanta vulnerabilidad y sobre todo del regalo de intimidad da miedo, pero Juan dice que los discípulos se alegraron. Yo apuesto a que su gozo tenía un poco de confusión, porque después que él se había ido ellos no se fueron a ninguna parte, aun cuando él los mando a que se fueran, ellos todavía no estaban listos.
Pentecostés es el final de los cincuenta días de Pas-cua de Resurrección, pero solo el comienzo de la vida creciente de la Iglesia y la nueva creación. La Resurrec-ción desciende sobre nosotros solo a través de la luz del Espíritu Santo. Al dejar que esos dones y frutos del Espí-ritu Santo fluyan a través nuestro, nos volvemos más vi-vos que antes, más despiertos, más nosotros, más noso-tros mismos. Listos o no, ¡Cristo ha Resucitado y nos ha encomendado su misión de testigos de la Buena Nueva de esperanza y nueva vida para nosotros! ¡Nosotros so-mos lo que el mundo ha estado esperando!
Pregunta de la semana: Habiendo recibido los dones del Espíritu Santo, ¿cómo puedo ayudarte en renovar la faz de la tierra? ¿Reciclando? ¿Ejercitándose? ¿Juntando Basura? ¿Rezando con alguien? ¿Perdonando a al-guien?
Palabra de la semana: PENTECOSTES: (¡significa “cincuenta” en griego!) 50 días después de la Pascua de Resurrección es la fiesta judía de la primavera: la Fiesta de las Semanas, Fiesta de la Cosecha, Fiesta del Nuevo Vino. Pero por el derramamiento del espíritu y el testimo-nio de los apóstoles, es también el cumpleaños de la igle-sia antigua.
Ven, Espíritu Santo, ¡ven!
Su Pastor, P. Bob
