PENTECOST SUNDAY
This weekend we celebrate the feast of Pentecost; the feast of Holy Spirit, after whom our church
is dedicated. Pentecost literally means 50th. It is a
feast celebrated on the 50th day after the Passover
feast by the Jews and a feast celebrated on the 50th
day after the feast of the Resurrection of Jesus by
the Christians.
On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary as
fiery tongues. The frightened apostles were transformed into fiery preachers and evangelizers and
were given the gift of tongues by a special anointing
of the Holy Spirit. The listeners experienced a fresh
anointing of the Holy Spirit through the apostles’
gift of tongues: they heard Peter speaking in their
native languages. The early Christians became
powerful witnesses and brave martyrs for their faith
in Jesus.
Pentecost is fire - fire in
the heart, fire in the belly, fire that burns in one's
heart and soul. In scripture, the fire of the Spirit
purifies a person, as gold
and silver are melted so
that the impurities rise to
the surface and can be skimmed off until only pure
gold or silver remains. This fire also gives light that
shines from within.
The fire of the Spirit is also
very real.
"Were our hearts not burning
within us as He explained the
scriptures," the disciples on the
Father Mathew
Road to Emmaus said to one
another after their encounter with the Risen Christ.
These are the words of experience, the experience
of God touching them, just as God has offered to do
to us and for us today.
Today is a great day to ask the Holy Spirit to rekindle in us the spirit of new life and enthusiasm, the
fire of God's love. Let us repeat Blessed John Henry
Cardinal Newman’s favorite little prayer, “Come Holy Spirit:”
Come Holy Spirit
Make our ears to hear
Make our eyes to see
Make our mouths to speak
Make our hearts to seek
Make our hands to reach out
And touch the world with your love.
AMEN.
May I also invite all of you to participate in the
Parish Festival next Sunday (May 22) as we celebrate
the 130th anniversary of our parish.
