PENTECOST SUNDAY
May 31, 2020
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
   

      Last week we heard that, following the Ascension, the disciples, Mary, and other followers of the Lord retreated to the upper room in prayer. This week we hear that, while praying in that room, the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Jesus’ post-Resurrection promise, recounted in today’s Gospel, is fulfilled: the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus’ followers. Saint Paul tells us that all of us, in some way, are given gifts of the Holy Spirit, gifts that can be used to spread the Good News. Today is one of the Church’s greatest festivals. Let us carry the refrain of the responsorial psalm with us throughout the coming week: “Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth!” (Psalm 104:30).            
In Christ,  
Father William   
    
 

DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTES
31 de Mayo del 2020 
Ven, Espíritu Santo, llena los corazones de tus fieles
y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor.
 

      La semana pasada escuchamos que, después de la Ascensión, los discípulos, María, y los otros seguidores del Señor se retiraron al piso alto donde perseveraron unánimes en la oración. Esta semana escuchamos que, mientras rezaban en esa habitación, el Espíritu Santo vino sobre ellos. La promesa de Jesús luego de su resurrección, el Evangelio de hoy relata, se cumple: el poder del Espíritu Santo viene sobre los seguidores de Jesús.  San Pablo nos dice que todos nosotros, de alguna manera hemos recibido los dones del Espíritu Santo, dones que se los utilizará para anunciar la Buena Nueva. Hoy es una de las fiestas más importantes de la Iglesia. Llevemos en nosotros el estribillo del Salmo Responsorial durante toda la semana: “Señor, envía tu Espíritu, ¡y renueva la Faz de la Tierra!” (Salmo 104:30).       
En Cristo,  
Padre William
