Pentecost Sunday
May 31, 2020
FOCUS: We each receive gifts from the Holy Spirit to
share with others, for the greater good.
Today, as we celebrate the birthday of the Church with
the coming of the Holy Spirit, we also reflect on the gifts
that the Spirit gives to each of us. Let us pray to be able
to recognize them, and ask for the grace to use them for
the sake of the Kingdom.
LITURGY OF THE WORD: The first reading recounts
the dramatic coming of the Holy Spirit to the disciples—
and their resulting ability to speak in different tongues. In
his Letter to the Corinthians, Saint Paul writes that while
there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, there is but the
same Spirit, and the same God. In the Gospel, Jesus ap-
pears to the disciples in a locked room, gives them the
Holy Spirit, and grants them the authority to forgive sins.
REFLECTION: Jesus is no longer physically present
with us, but he has not withdrawn to some distant moun-
tain in the cosmos, waiting for his time to return. The
scriptures today remind us that Jesus is fully with us be-
cause his Spirit dwells in us – as individuals and as a
church community. Empowered by the Spirit we
"proclaim" our faith in Christ by our words and actions.
So we ask ourselves:
How is my faith affected by the presence of the Holy
Spirit in my life?
With the Holy Spirit, how can I be a more public
witness to my faith?

For Deacons
We pray that deacons, faithful in their service to the
Word and the poor, may be an invigorating symbol
for the entire Church.

Arise: Why Nothing Compares to Receiving the Sacraments in Person
This is a summary of the video by Fr. Dennis Gill, Director of Office of Divine Worship and Rector of the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, printed in the bulletin with permission.
Luke 24: 28-35 Jesus makes himself known to the disciples on the way to Emmaus in the breaking of the bread.
A sacrament is traditionally defined as an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace but Fr. Gill shares with us an ancient defini-tion. A sacrament is a visible sign of an invisible reality. It is not possible to celebrate the sacraments without the tangible, visible
signs and accompanying words of proclamation or consecration. The Risen Lord is present to us in the essential elements of the sac-raments, the water of Baptism and the bread and wine of the Holy Eucharist.
In Baptism we are set free from original sin and become members of the Church, brothers and sisters of our Lord Jesus with the
same Father in heaven with the promise of everlasting life. Although all of this is true, it fails to describe Baptism as a sacrament.
St. Paul’s letter to the Romans (Romans 6:3-4) reminds us that when we are Baptized into Christ, we die and rise with him. We encounter the Risen Lord, the invisible reality, when we are raised up from his death in the water of Baptism, the visible sign of this sacrament.
Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus we encounter the Risen Lord when we celebrate the Holy Eucharist. We bring to every altar what Jesus instituted the night before he died, the visible sign of the invisible reality of his death and Resurrection. As St. Paul
states in his letter to the Corinthians (I Cor. 11:23-26), when we eat this bread and drink this cup we proclaim the death and resurrec-tion of the Lord.
Virtual worship has been helpful during this time however we have not been able to eat and drink of the mystery that saves and re-deems us nor receive the sacramental grace that brings the risen Lord into our lives. Let us return to the pews and come before the
altar with renewed faith and enthusiasm to encounter the Risen Lord in the sacraments so he can reign within us as we receive the grace and strength we need to live the Christian life.

Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Please keep the sick in your prayers.

DOMINGO, MAYO 31, 2020
DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTÉS
" RECIBAN EL ESPÍRITU SANTO "
San Juan llama al Espíritu de Dios, Paráclito, el Abogado que
defiende a los suyos, sus discípulos. Jesús anuncia la venida del
Espíritu Santo en la última cena. Cuando Jesús haya partido,
vendrá El Paráclito y estará presente entre los discípulos. El
mundo no le reconocerá, pero El será su acusador. LA Iglesia
Católica le suplica: "Ven, Espíritu Santo, ven". El Espíritu San-
to tiene tres funciones: a. Hacer presente a Jesús porque es "
espíritu de verdad " y los discípulos le contemplan como
Viviente. b. El Espíritu Santo defiende a Jesús y El Evangelio
ante el mundo al que acusa en materia de pecado, de justicia y
de juicio. c. Finalmente, tiene la función de enseñar todo lo que
ha dicho Jesús y ayudar a recordar la plenitud de la verdad
frente a las mentiras y la corrupción de la verdad. El Espíritu
Santo es la fuerza vital de los cristianos. Nacemos y renacemos
con la luz y la fuerza del Espíritu Santo. El Espíritu Santo nos
trae la paz y el perdón que construye la unidad y la fraternidad
entre todos. Ven, Espíritu Santo, Ven !
