PRAYER & WORSHIP
MASS INTENTIONS this WEEK
THE ERA OF THE SPIRIT
The Old Testament represents the first era in salvation
history. There were some outstanding personalities, such as
Abraham, Moses, David, and Isaiah. Jesus highlights the
second era, culminating in his death, resurrection and ascension! Today is the beginning of the third and final period
in salvation history – the Period of the Spirit, the Period of
the Church.
The coming of the Holy Spirit reminds the reader of
the coming of Yahweh on Mount Sinai: “There were peals
of thunder and lightning, and a heavy cloud over the mountain, and a very loud blast of the shofar, so that all the people in the camp trembled… Now Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the Lord came down
upon it in fire. The smoke rose from it as though from a
kiln, and the whole mountain trembled violently.” (Exodus
19: 16. 18)
The coming of the Holy Spirit, the Christian Pentecost,
had similar signs for the followers of our Lord: “Suddenly
there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house where they were. Then there
appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came
to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with
the Holy Spirit and they began to speak in different tongues,
as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.” (Acts of the Apostles 2: 2 – 4)
That occurrence on Pentecost Sunday was a dramatic
setting for the establishment of the coming of the Holy
Spirit. It also prepared well for the beginning of the Church,
which was to continue the work of Christ. Our Lord had
commissioned his followers to continue his work: “Make
disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28: 19) At the Last Supper our Lord had promised the assistance of the Spirit: “I
will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate
to be with you always.” (John 14: 16) That promise was
fulfilled with the events of Pentecost Sunday, especially
tongues of fire, which symbolized the presence of the Holy
Spirit with the followers of our Lord.
Saint Paul’s greatest concern was that every follower
of Jesus have the Spirit: “Those who are led by the Spirit of
God are children of God.” (Romans 8: 14) He assures his
readers that the Spirit promises final salvation: “If the Spirit
of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the
one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your
mortal bodies also, through his Sprit that dwells in
you.” (Romans 8: 11)

BORN TO ETERNAL LIFE: The community of St.
Aloysius would like to extend our condolences to the
families of Mary Alice Brynteson and JoAnne E. Shearer
who passed away recently. May the angels lead them into
paradise; may the martyrs come and welcome them to the
holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem; and may the peace
of Christ which is beyond all understanding give there
families comfort and peace.
Reflection for the Jubilee Year of Mercy: “For the
source of our joy is ‘an endless desire to show mercy, the
fruit of our own experience of the power of the Father’s
infinite mercy’ (Evangelii Gaudium, 24)… This is what the
Lord tells us today. A Christian finds joy in mission: Go out
to people of every nation! A Christian experiences joy in
following a command: Go forth and proclaim the good
news! A Christian finds ever new joy in answering a call:
Go forth and anoint! Jesus sends his disciples out to all
nations. To every people. We too were part of all those
people of two thousand years ago. Jesus did not provide a
short list of who is, or is not, worthy of receiving his
message and his presence. Instead, he always embraced life
as he saw it.” (Pope Francis during his visit to Washington,
DC, September 2015) Joyfully share God’s mercy with
others. Find more at mercy.adw.org.
