Gospel Reflection
May 24, 2015
Pentecost Sunday
Acts 2:1–11; Ps 104:1, 24, 29–30, 31, 34
1 Cor 12:3b–7, 12–13 or Gal 5:16–25
Sequence: Veni, Sancte Spiritus
Jn 20:19–23 or 15:26–27; 16:12–15
Luke tells us that the disciples “were all in one place”
on Pentecost. Their continued presence in Jerusalem
is in obedience to Jesus’s command to wait in the
holy city until they receive the Holy Spirit. In Hebrew,
the word for “wind,” ruah, is also the word for “spirit”
and “breath.” It was God’s ruah that hovered over the
waters of creation and was breathed into Adam.
God’s Spirit comes to rest on the disciples, and they
are “filled with the Holy Spirit”; they begin speaking
“in different tongues” so that their message is heard
by the Pentecost pilgrims in Jerusalem, “devout Jews
from every nation under heaven”.
Paul tells us that it is only “by the Holy Spirit” that we
can proclaim the Lordship of Jesus; that is God’s
Spirit at work in us. The gifts of the Spirit are many
and produce different fruits, but they come from “the
same God”. Cyril of Jerusalem compares the Spirit to
the rain: the same rain falls on different plants, but
the flowers they produce depend on their own identity, whether lily or rose or violet or hyacinth. Each of
us is called to do our part with what we have been
given for the good of others.
Jesus’s Easter evening appearance to the apostles in
today’s Gospel is unexpected. They are hiding behind locked doors “for fear of the Jews,” but he “came
and stood in their midst”. Showing them “his hands
and his side” confirms his identity as the one who
was crucified and had his side pierced. Their response is to rejoice. He now gives them “the Holy
Spirit” promised at the Last Supper. For our evangelist, Easter inaugurates the era of the Spirit-led
church.
For Reflection: Is my experience of God’s Spirit
more like a strong wind or a gentle whisper? How
have I experienced God’s Spirit in the lives of others?
