PENTECOST SUNDAY First Reading: Acts 2:1-11 During the Feast of Pentecost, tongues of fire came to rest on the heads of the disciples and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Each disciple began speaking in a different language, and were understood by people from many different regions who were amazed at what they had witnessed. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 Paul explains that we are all members of one body. We have all been baptized in one Spirit and although numerous, we are one through Christ. Gospel: John 20:19-23 John describes Jesus’ first visit to the disciples after his resurrection. He gave them the Holy Spirit and the power to forgive other people or hold them responsible for their actions. ©1999 Bon Venture Services, Inc.

And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will.” The Pentecost event is so well known. The signs of fire, wind and noise accompany the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. What was is no more, as the fear which brought them together was unlocked as were the doors and a new era began. The Spirit which Jesus breathed into the apostles became the breath of new life for the church as the Spirit of God sent them to renew the face of the earth. As the doors were opened, the windows of Aggiornamento of Pope Saint John 23rd allowed new life to spring forth in the church. The Spirit comes to us in our weakness today, as we do not have all the answers but He intercedes for us, allowing us to be spirit driven to bring the gospel to our waiting world.
