REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL
We are now about fifty days, or seven weeks, from Easter.
To be clear, Pentecost was a Jewish fest of the springtime,
also known as the Feast of Weeks, or the Feast of the New
Harvest or even the Feast of New Wine. Because it comes
about fifty days after the feast of Passover it was also called
Pentecost. The Acts of the Apostles tell us that it was on the
Jewish Feast of Pentecost that the apostles were emboldened
by the Spirit to preach to Israel, assembled in Jerusalem for
the feast. Thus, Luke precedes the story of Peter and his
preaching, with the outpouring of the Spirit, thereby
emboldening the Twelve so.
But today we read from the Gospel of John, which seems
not to know anything about the fest of Pentecost and the
emboldened Peter preaching. Instead, the story we have in
John takes place on Easter Sunday when the risen Christ
appears to the disciples to give them the Sprit and the gift of
peace. Upon receiving the gift of the Spirit, the disciples are
emboldened not to preach but to forgive sins. Though Jesus
conquered the cosmic power of sin on the cross, it is the role
of the disciples to forgive individual sins, almost as a
clean-up operation after the major victory has been won.
Though this power to forgive sins has been traditionally
understood to be the sacrament of reconciliation, this should
not stop modern followers of Jesus from forgiving others. In
other words, forgiveness is not limited to sacramental ritual.
Forgiveness has a power to unleash one held by some
wrongdoing. We need think only about our own friends and
families. How often do we forgive someone who has
wronged us? How often do we seek forgiveness when we’ve
wronged another? Those tasks belong to the disciples of
Jesus per his handing on of the Spirit after Easter. We can
certainly forgive and seek forgiveness without taking
anything away from the sacrament of reconciliation. Living Liturgy year C.

OUR LADY’S MESSAGE THROUGH MIRJANA SOLDO
June 2, 2019
"Dear children,
Only a pure and an open heart will make it such that you may truly come
to know my Son and that all those who do not know His love may come
to know it through you. Only love will make you comprehend that it is
stronger than death because true love conquered death and made it so
that death not exist. My children, forgiveness is the most exalted form of
love. You, as apostles of my love, must pray that you be strong in spirit
and that you could comprehend and forgive. You, apostles of my love,
by understanding and forgiveness, are giving an example of love and
mercy. To be able to comprehend and forgive is a gift for which it is
necessary to pray, and to nurture it. By forgiveness you are showing that
you know how to love. Just look, my children, how the Heavenly Father
loves you with a great love, with understanding, forgiveness and justice-
how He gives me, the Mother of your hearts, to you. And here I am
among you to bless you with a motherly blessing, to call you to prayer,
to fasting-to tell you to believe, to hope, to forgive, to pray for your
shepherds, and above all to love without limits. My children, follow me.
My way is the way of peace and love, the way of my Son. It is the way
that leads to the triumph of my heart. Thank you."

CELL PHONES IN CHURCH
As a gentle reminder, when you enter our church, please silence all

LIVING THE PASCHAL MYSTERY
The paschal mystery calls us to die to ourselves so we might be lifted up by
and with Christ. One way we die to ourselves is to seek forgiveness when we
do something wrong. Simply asking for forgiveness is a sign of humility, and
it is something not often done. Not only are we to ask for forgiveness, but we
are to forgive when someone wrongs us. Rather than hold a grudge our role
as disciples is to forgive, in imitation of Jesus who set the example for us. If
he can forgive those who wronged him, how much more must we forgive
those who wrong us. To be a disciple requires nothing less. An admirer will
certainly respect and praise the forgiveness Jesus effects, but a follower will
seek to do the same, and forgive. As disciples, followers of Jesus, let us
forgive as he forgave.
