A Significant Day

And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it
filled the en re house in which they were (Acts 2:2). The Holy Spirits arrival on
that first Pentecost was signaled by a rush of wind. We all know what its like when
our windows are open just as a summer storm rises up. Curtains fly, papers become
airborne, house plants shudder, dust is sca ered. A rush of wind disrupts the or131 Ward Street, Macon, GA 31204

UNA ORACIN AL ESPRITU

Espritu Santo,
que enviaste a Cristo Jess
a traer la Buena Nueva a los
pobres, Te pedimos:
Aydanos a con nuar tu
obra sirviendo al pobre,
nuestro hermano y hermana.
copyright 1976, 1981, Lucien Deiss.

Pregunta para la Semana

Podra yo facilitar que

el Espritu me guie hasta
la verdad plena al emprender o continuar mi
propia educacin en la fe
mediante la lectura de las
Escrituras o de algn
comentario bblico, o de
una nueva publicacin
litrgica espritual o de la
doctrina social de la Iglesia durante este verano?

UN DA
SIGNIFICATIVO

Hay diferentes dones,

pero el Espritu es el
mismo. -1Corin os 12:4

De repente se oy un gran ruido que vena

del cielo, como cuando sopla un viento
fuerte, que reson por toda la casa donde se encontraban (Hechos 2:2). La
llegada del Espritu Santo en ese primer Pentecosts fue marcada por un viento
fuerte. Todos sabemos lo que se siente cuando abrimos las ventanas en el
momento en que se levanta una tormenta de verano. Las cor nas vuelan, los
papeles se elevan, las plantas emblan y el polvo se revuelve. Un ventarrn que
perturba el orden de nuestro hogar. La venida del Espritu Santo, que celebramos cada ao
durante Pentecosts, tambin puede perturbar hbitos que se han vuelto cmodos y
organizados. La Iglesia siempre necesita de Pentecosts. Necesitamos el soplo del Espritu de
Dios para que disperse nuestras autocomplacencias o cualquier malestar que ha penetrado
nuestra fe. Jess sopla en sus discpulos y reciben el Espritu Santo. Con esa recepcin viene el
poder de compar r la Buena Nueva de la salvacin. Hoy esa realidad no es diferente a lo que se
Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
espera de nosotros.

El hombre busca la felicidad, pero nada de este mundo puede drsela.

La felicidad es el fruto sobrenatural de la presencia de Dios en el alma.
Es la felicidad de los santos. Ellos la viven en las mas adversas circunstancias y nada ni
nadie se las puede quitar. San Felipe Neri ilustra admirablemente la
felicidad de la santidad. Dispuesto a todo por Cristo, logr maravillas en
su vida y la gloria del cielo.
Naci en Florencia, Italia, en 1515, uno de cuatro hijos del
notario Francesco y Lucretia Neri. Muy pronto perdieron a su madre
pero la segunda esposa de su padre fue para ellos una verdadera madre.
Desde pequeo Felipe era afable, obediente y amante de la
oracin. En su juventud le gustaba visitar a los padres dominicos del
Monasterio de San Marco y segn su propio testimonio estos padres le
inspiraron a la virtud.
Tena gracia y saba hacer las cosas con humor. Enseaba y avisaba sin ofender. Y riendo,
me a las verdades mayores en las almas. De una manera tan sencilla, tan divertida, tan simptica,
orientaba a los jovenes por el camino de la vida para que su ideal fuese cristiano y no vulgar.

UNA INVITACIN ESPECIAL

Muchos han escuchado que la Hermana Elizabeth se va para servir los pobres
en Little Rock, Arkansas dnde comenzar otro ministerio como Daybreak para
las personas sin hogar. Por muchos aos la Hna. Elizabeth fue nuestra catequista de
la Confirmacin para jvenes hispanos y es una buena amiga de los hispanos en
general. Seguro que ella quiere dar una despedida a ustedes. Por eso, todos estn invitados a la celebracin en su honor.

FECHA: jueves, 4 de junio a las 6:00pm
Despus de la Misa habr una Recepcin en el

Todos estn invitados!

Pentecosts: milagro del corazn

Las lecturas y su mensaje

Hechos 2:1-11
El relato de Pentecosts est admirablemente construido. Se pueden dis nguir dos relatos: uno ms tradicional y otro ms evolucionado. El an guo ene un carcter carism co. El segundo es prof co y misionero. El don del Espritu se da a la comunidad, si
bien es Pedro quien pronunciar el discurso. La irrupcin del Espritu viene a romper el propsito de restauracin de la An gua
Alianza. El Espritu viene de repente con ruido como de viento impetuoso y en lenguas como de fuego, para reorientar a una
posicin prof ca y misionera. Lucas insiste en que los presentes, que vienen de todo el mundo, en enden el discurso de Pedro,
cada uno en su propia lengua.
1 Corin os 12:3b-7, 12-13
En la triple reiteracin de diversidad aparecen tres trminos dis ntos para los dones: carismas, ministerios, actuaciones. Todos
proceden de una misma fuente que tambin es pluriforme: Espritu, Seor, Dios. Se ejempliica la diversidad dentro de la Iglesia con
cuatro grupos que representan profundos contrastes de raza (judos y griegos) y de estatus econmico y legal (esclavos y libres).
Conver dos por la fuerza del Espritu han sido incorporados todos por igual a este nico cuerpo que es Cristo.
Juan 20:19-23
El escenario es el lugar de reunin de los discpulos. La referencia a las puertas cerradas por miedo a los judos puede estar mo vada para poner de relieve lo extraordinario de la aparicin. Hay un nuevo saludo de paz y envo. La reiteracin muestra la solemnidad del momento. Es el acto de envo. Viene luego la efusin del Espritu y la concesin del poder para perdonar pecados. La denominacin de Espritu Santo indica claramente la fe trinitaria. El don que se concede es el poder de perdonar. Este poder de la
Iglesia se refiere en primer lugar a la remission de pecados mediante el bau smo.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El empo de Pascua termina con el Domingo de Pentecosts y la venida del Espritu
Santo. Pero, qu o quin es el Espritu Santo? En 1897, el papa Len XIII escribi la
primera encclica papal acerca del Espritu Santo. Llamada Divinum illud munus (Aquel
Divino Encargo). En esa encclica, Len XIII explica quin es el Espritu de Dios y cul es su
funcin.
El Espritu Santo es la bondad, el amor y la caridad del Padre y
del Hijo. Un amor tan fuerte e inmenso que se hace persona y se
derrama sobre nosotros. El Papa insiste que si Cristo es la cabeza de
la Iglesia, el Espritu Santo es su alma. El Espritu de Dios se manifiesta
en la Iglesia, perdonando pecados, repar endo gracia y habitando en
el corazn de los fieles.
Jess declara a sus discpulos: Les conviene que yo me vaya; porque si no me voy, no
vendr a ustedes el Parclito; pero si me voy, se los enviar (Juan 16:7). Por eso conviene
que pidamos el don del Espritu Santo, fuente inexhausta de luz, de consuelo y de gracia.
