PENTECOST

The descent upon the apostles was internal and invisible in nature

although accompanied by certain visible phenomena. There came

a mighty roar, like the onrush of a violent wind. It came suddenly,

from heaven; but unlike storms that strike a structure from without,

this one penetrated and filled the room where the disciples were

gathered. Therefore it was not a natural wind, it was a miracle pe-

culiar to the occasion. A second visible sign consisted in tongues of

fire that descended upon each one present. These fiery tongues

gave visible evidence that the Holy Spirit had descended upon

them. Today at Mass, particularly at holy Communion, the power

of the Holy Spirit will come down upon us; fiery tongues will not

be seen, but invisible tongues of fire will not be absent. There was

still another external manifestation of the Holy Spirit; the apostles

and disciples were enabled to speak various languages. After the

roar of the wind many of Jerusalem's pilgrims hurried to the Cena-

cle. Pentecost was one of the three festivals which obliged all Jews

to be present in Jerusalem. Jews from distant lands, and Jewish

converts from paganism too, attended these feasts. As a result, a

colorful crowd speaking a variety of languages surrounded the

house. Now the apostles, who so shortly before had hid in fear

behind locked doors, came forth and courageously walked among

the multitude speaking to each in his native tongue. It was indeed

amazing! Galileans, and multilingual? But the malicious too were

present; they had the answer. Nothing marvelous at all! Those Gali-

leans were simply drunk, and their drunken babble sounded like a

foreign language! Peter showed no hesitation in answering the

charge. None of their number, he said, were intoxicated; it was but

nine o'clock in the morning, and at that hour men usually are so-

ber. What the multitude saw was, in fact, the fulfillment of Joel's

prophecy: In those days (of the Messiah), God will pour forth His

Spirit upon men and they will prophesy. . . .Then the apostle

pointed his words more directly against the accusers: they had

killed Jesus, had nailed Him to the Cross; but God had awakened

Him and after His departure to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit.

The pilgrims who had heard Peter give this first pentecostal ser-

mon "were pierced to the heart and said: Brethren, what shall we

do? But Peter said to them: Repent and be baptized; and you will

receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Three thousand responded.

One final question: why the miracle of tongues? In answer, recall

the story regarding the tower of Babel. Puffed up by pride, men

attempted to build a tower that would touch the heavens. To pun-

ish their sin, God confused their speech. Sin causes confusion and

division. Now Christ came to gather all men into His Church and

thereby to unite them to Himself. This should result in creating but

one family of nations again. To this blessed state the miracle of

tongues points. Yes, even we as individuals have a gift of tongues

which all men can understand. It is the gift of love infused into us

by the Holy Spirit. Love unites, love is a common language, by

means of love we can speak to all nations.

Excerpted from “The Church's Year of Grace” by Pius Parsch

POPE’S PRAYER INTENTION

MAY 2018

That the lay faithful may fulfil their

specific mission, by responding with

creativity to the challenges that

face the world today.

WEEKLY EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

The Blessed Sacrament is adored in the Lady Chapel on

Wednesdays & First Fridays from 6:00PM to 7:00PM

Confessions are heard from 6:15PM to 6:45PM

Come spend an hour with JESUS this week!

OFFERING MASSES FOR THE REPOSE OF SOULS

It is customary not only to visit

the graves of our dearly

departed, but also to have

Masses offered for the eternal

repose of their souls. Having a

Mass offered for the repose of

a soul, and offering our own

prayers, is more beneficial and

comforting than a card or

a bouquet of flowers.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC):

“From the beginning the church has honored the memory

of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above

all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may

attain the beatific vision of God” (CCC #1032).

Contact the Cathedral Office to have a Mass offered

for a relative or friend who may need our prayers!

“Never be afraid of loving the

Blessed Virgin too much.

You can never love her

more than Jesus did.”

-Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe-

INTENCION DEL PAPA

MAYO 2018

Para que los fieles laicos cumplan

su misión específica poniendo su

creatividad al servicio de los

desafíos del mundo actual.

"Nunca tengas miedo de amar a la

Santísima Virgen demasiado.

Nunca puedes amarla más de

lo que Jesús lo hizo".

-San Maximiliano Kolbe-

«Recibid el Espíritu Santo»

Hoy, en el día de Pentecostés se reali-za el cumplimiento de la promesa que

Cristo había hecho a los Apóstoles. En la tarde del día de Pascua sopló sobre ellos y les dijo: «Recibid el Es-

píritu Santo» (Jn 20,22). La venida del Espíritu Santo el día de Pentecostés renueva y lleva a plenitud ese don de

un modo solemne y con mani-festaciones externas. Así culmina el

misterio pascual. El Espíritu que Jesús comunica, crea en el discípulo una nueva condición humana, y

produce unidad. Cuando el orgullo del hombre le lleva a desafiar a Dios construyendo la torre de Babel, Dios confunde sus lenguas y no pueden entenderse. En Pentecostés sucede lo contrario: por

gracia del Espíritu Santo, los Apóstoles son entendidos por gentes de las más diversas procedencias y lenguas. El Espíritu Santo es el Maestro interior que guía al discípulo hacia la verdad, que le mue-ve a obrar el bien, que lo consuela en el dolor, que lo transforma interiormente, dándole una fuerza, una capacidad nuevas. El pri-mer día de Pentecostés de la era cristiana, los Apóstoles estaban reunidos en compañía de María, y estaban en oración. El recogi-

miento, la actitud orante es imprescindible para recibir el Espíritu. «De repente, un ruido del cielo, como de un viento recio, resonó en toda la casa donde se encontraban. Vieron aparecer unas len-guas, como llamaradas, que se repartían, posándose encima de

cada uno» (Hch 2,2-3). Todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y se pusieron a predicar valientemente. Aquellos hombres atemo-rizados habían sido transformados en valientes predicadores que no temían la cárcel, ni la tortura, ni el martirio. No es extraño; la fuerza del Espíritu estaba en ellos. El Espíritu Santo, Tercera Per-sona de la Santísima Trinidad, es el alma de mi alma, la vida de mi vida, el ser de mi ser; es mi santificador, el huésped de mi interior más profundo. Para llegar a la madurez en la vida de fe es preciso que la relación con Él sea cada vez más consciente, más personal. En esta celebración de Pentecostés abramos las puertas de nuestro

interior de par en par.
