Today’s celebration of the Feast of Pentecost
concludes the Easter season. Pentecost celebrates
the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles
gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem; this
event also marks the beginning of the Church (we
wish our Church a Happy Birthday!). The story of
Pentecost can be found in today’s first reading from the
Acts of the Apostles.
The account in today’s Gospel from John 20:19-23
recounts how Jesus gave the gift of the Holy Spirit to his
disciples. Yet the event in John’s Gospel takes place on
Easter Sunday, which we celebrated 50 days ago. There
is no need to try to reconcile these two accounts, but to
know that after his death, Jesus fulfilled his promise to
send to his disciples a helper, an Advocate (or
Paraclete), who would enable them to be his witnesses
throughout the world.
In the context of today’s feast of Pentecost, John
reminds us about the integral connection between the
gifts of peace and forgiveness and the action of the
Holy Spirit. Jesus greets his disciples with the gift of
peace. Jesus then commissions his disciples to continue
the work that he has begun: “As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.” He breathes the Holy Spirit upon the
disciples and sends them to continue his work of
reconciliation through the forgiveness of sins. Jesus’ act
of breathing the Holy Spirit upon the apostles mirrors
God’s act of breathing life into Adam. In fact, both the
Greek and Hebrew words for “spirit” can also be
translated as “breath.” This Gospel reminds us that the
Church is called to be a reconciling presence in the
world. The reconciling presence of Christ is celebrated in
the Church’s sacramental life. In the Sacrament of
Baptism, we are cleansed of sin and become a new
creation in Christ. In the Sacrament of Penance, the
Church celebrates the mercy of God through the
forgiveness of sins. This reconciling presence is also to
be a way of life for Christians. In situations of conflict,
we are to be agents of peace and harmony among
people.
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam, Fr. Greg
La celebración de hoy de la Fiesta de Pentecostés
concluye el tiempo de Pascua. Pentecostés celebra
el descenso del Espíritu Santo sobre los apóstoles
reunidos en el aposento alto de Jerusalén; este
evento también marca el comienzo de la Iglesia
(¡deseamos a nuestra Iglesia un Feliz
Cumpleaños!). La historia de Pentecostés se puede
encontrar en la primera lectura de hoy de los Hechos de
los Apóstoles.
El relato del Evangelio de hoy de Juan 20: 19-23 relata
cómo Jesús dio el don del Espíritu Santo a sus discípulos.
Sin embargo, el evento en el Evangelio de Juan tiene
lugar el Domingo de Pascua, el cual nosotros hemos
celebrado hace 50 días. No es necesario tratar de
conciliar estas dos cuentas, pero saber que después de su
muerte, Jesús cumplió su promesa de enviar a sus
discípulos un ayudante, un Defensor (o Paráclito), que les
permitiría ser sus testigos en todo el mundo.
En el contexto de la Fiesta de Pentecostés de hoy, Juan
nos recuerda la conexión integral entre los dones de paz,
perdón y la acción del Espíritu Santo. Jesús saluda a sus
discípulos con el don de la paz. Jesús luego encarga a sus
discípulos que continúen la obra que él ha comenzado:
"Como el Padre me envió a mí, así también yo os envío".
Él sopla el Espíritu Santo sobre los discípulos y los envía a
continuar su obra de reconciliación a través del perdón
de los pecados. El acto de Jesús de soplar el Espíritu
Santo sobre los apóstoles refleja el acto de Dios de soplar
vida en Adán. De hecho, las palabras griegas y hebreas
para "espíritu" también se pueden traducir como
"aliento". Este Evangelio nos recuerda que la Iglesia está
llamada a ser una presencia reconciliadora en el mundo.
La presencia reconciliadora de Cristo se celebra en la vida
sacramental de la Iglesia. En el sacramento de Bautismo,
somos limpiados del pecado y nos convertimos en una
nueva creación en Cristo. En el Sacramento de Penitencia,
la Iglesia celebra la misericordia de Dios mediante el
perdón de los pecados. Esta presencia reconciliadora
debe ser también una forma de vida para los Cristianos.
En situaciones de conflicto, debemos ser agentes de paz
y armonía entre los pueblos.
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam, P. Greg

Pentecost Sunday John 15:26-27; 16:12-15 or John 20:19-23 Acting with Courage
Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the
Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. (Acts 2: 3-4)
Living the Word: The Holy Spirit can be a difficult concept for children to under-
stand. Wind is often used to describe the Holy Spirit. We know that wind can be pow-
erful and move things, and it can be a gentle presence moving the grass, branches, and
flowers.
A pinwheel is a helpful way for children to understand the power of wind and to think
about the Holy Spirit. You can either buy pinwheels or have your children make their
own. Make sure you use red streamers to decorate them. Red is a color associated with
the Holy Spirit. After putting the pinwheels together, put them outside in the ground or by an open window on a windy
day to remind them of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.
And don’t forget to have a birthday party for our Church!
Questions of the Week
Child: When and where do you need the Holy Spirit’s help to speak out?
Adult: When has the Holy Spirit given you the strength to act with courage?
Fun Facts for Catholic Kids: On May 25th, we celebrate the Feast of 3 Saints! St. Bede the Venerable, St. Gregory VII
who was a Pope, and St. Mary Magdalene of Pazzi. Wow, perhaps you can look each one of them up and learn some-
thing about them. But I am going to focus on St. Bede today.
He was a monk and was the first one to use the words Anno Domini or A.D. to date events. He was given the title
“Venerable” to honor his wisdom and learning but his favorite prayer was a simple one. Maybe you know it. If you don’t,
maybe you’d like to memorize it: “Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the begin-
ning, is now, and will be forever. Amen”.

Vacation Bible School: Set Sail with St. Patrick and the Holy Trinity! Many of you have been asking or wondering about Vacation Bible School (VBS) this year! We’re excited
to announce that this summer, we are hosting a virtual VBS on St. Patrick and the Holy Trinity! Here is
how it would work: We are asking families to register and pay a small fee ($20 - $25) to cover the cost
of the home kits, which would include a book, CD, and craft materials for each child. You would come
by the church to pick up the kits. You will also receive links to watch prepared videos for each day! Additionally, VBS will
not be limited to one week this year! Since it is virtual, families can participate at any point during the summer! Right
now, if you are interested, please email Anne Doyle, so she knows how many of our families would like to take part in
our virtual VBS. You can reach her at [email protected]. We would also like for you to take pictures or videos of
your child or children doing the activities, so we can post it on our Facebook page and website! So our question for
you is: Who wants to set sail with St. Patrick and the Holy Trinity this summer?

Carolina Catholic Speaks with Author Kevin Wells For our second show in May, our guest is Kevin Wells, a Catholic author, whose newest book from Ignatius Press is
called, "Priest and Beggar: The Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz." Father Al heard the call of the Virgin of the
Poor to serve the poor of the world, and in his work in South Korea, the Philippines, and Central America, Father Al built
17 Boystowns and Girlstowns that service, to this day, the poor giving children a home, an education, and a deep and
abiding love of the Catholic faith.
This beautiful show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio on stations 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM in Wilmington the
third and fourth weekends of May, Saturdays at 11 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. That's Saturday, May 15th and 22nd, at 11
