9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 6:00 PM (English) 1:00 PM and 7:30 PM (Spanish)

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit.

Gospel reading John 15:26-27

Jesus said to his disciples; “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.”

*Originally the Jewish feast to offer God the first fruits of the harvest. It was celebrated seven weeks after Passover; thus, the Greek name Pentekoste, meaning the 50th day.

As the Church celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the first disciples, the gospel reading takes us back to the last discourse of Jesus before the Passion. With these words, Jesus anticipated the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel of John uses the name Paraclete (counselor or advocate, defense attorney) to refer to the Holy Spirit who was to be sent by the Father, at the request of Jesus. That same Spirit had worked in the life of Jesus before the resurrection and was present with God at the Creation of the world. The Gospel also indicates that the Holy Spirit and the disciples would bear witness on Jesus’ behalf. The theme of witnessing or giving testimony is used frequently by John. As someone who knows Jesus intimately, the Holy Spirit will witness to his true identity before those who hate and persecute him and his disciples.

Brief commentary

Today’s reading offers three significant messages:

♦ “Declare to you the things that are coming,” is not a reference to new predictions about the future, but interpretation of what has already occurred or been said.

♦ The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. (Galatians 5:16-25)

♦ The Spirit comes to the disciples so that they might witness to Jesus’ resurrection.

For our shared or personal reflection: After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings.

1. What gifts has God given me and how am I using them to help others?

2. In what ways is my behavior as a Christian challenging or changing the values around me?

Hay diferentes dones,

pero el Espíritu es el mismo. — 1 Corintios 12:4

Page Five 24 de mayo de 2015 Domingo de Pentecostés

Lectura del Evangelio según San Juan 15,26-27

En aquel tiempo dijo Jesús a sus discípulos: “Cuando venga el Defensor que yo les enviaré, y que vendrá del Padre, él dará pruebas en mi favor. Es el Espíritu de la Verdad y que sale del Padre. Y ustedes también hablarán en mi favor, ya que han estado conmigo desde el principio. Tengo muchas cosas más que decirles, pero ustedes no pueden entenderlas ahora. Pero cuando él venga, el Espíritu de la Verdad, los introducirá a la verdad total. El no vendrá con un mensaje propio sino que les dirá lo que ha escuchado, y les anunciará las cosas futuras. Me glorificará porque recibirá de lo mío para revelárselo a ustedes. Todo lo que tiene el Padre también es mío. Por eso les he dicho que recibirá de lo mío para anunciárselo”. *Originalmente era la fiesta agrícola judía establecida para celebrar las primeras cosechas y la ley divina que recibieron en el monte Sinaí. Se celebraba siete semanas después de la Pascua. De ahí viene su nombre griego, pentekoste (día quincuagésimo).

Cuando Juan escribió su Evangelio en los años 90 ya la Iglesia había experimentado la presencia del Espíritu Santo. La lectura de hoy es parte del discurso de Jesús antes de su Pasión y con estas palabras, él anticipó la venida del Espíritu Santo en Pentecostés. Para Juan, Jesús fue el primer Defensor (Paráclito) porque intercedió ante el Padre, pero al irse (humanamente) no nos abandonó, sino que envió a otro Defensor. Este nuevo Paráclito no caminará entre nosotros como Jesús, sino que habitará en nuestro interior. Los primeros cristianos creían que el regreso de Jesús, la Parusía, era inminente. Esta creencia estaba basada en la promesa de Jesús de volver a ellos. Juan la explica de un modo diferente: Cristo, quien es el camino, la verdad, y la vida, regresará a ellos a través del Espíritu Santo. Para Juan, ésta es la Parusía que cuenta. Los discípulos no podrán escuchar a Jesús y verlo actuar, pero el Espíritu Santo los guiará y les ayudará a comprender todo lo que Jesús les enseñó.

La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes:

♦ Los discípulos están llamados a dar testimonio de Jesús ante un mundo incrédulo.

♦ “Anunciar cosas futuras” no consiste en predicciones, sino en la interpretación plena de lo que ya había ocurrido: “los introducirá a la verdad total”.

♦ Los frutos del Espíritu son: amor, alegría y paz, magnanimidad, afabilidad, bondad y confianza, mansedumbre y temperancia.

Para la reflexión comunitaria: Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos. 1. ¿Qué dones he recibido de Dios y

cómo los estoy usando para ayudar a otros?

2. ¿De qué forma estoy retando o cambiando los valores de mi medio ambiente?

Lecturas recomendadas: Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, párrafos 91; 243-248; 263; 687-692; 719; 729;1287.

MISA EN ESPAÑOL Todos los días martes hay una misa a las 8:00 PM en español, además de las otras dos a las 8:00 AM y 12:00 PM en inglés. Todos están invitados.

EN VERANO CAMBIA HORARIO DE MISAS

Dentro de unos días comenzarán las vacaciones de verano y muchas familias dejarán Key Biscayne para tomar un descanso fuera de la Isla. Dado que en estos meses disminuye la asistencia a la Iglesia; a partir del domingo, día 7 de junio hasta el 6 de septiembre de 2015, el horario de misas de los domingos en St. Agnes será así:

9:00 AM, 11:00 AM y 6:00 PM (Ingles) 1:00 PM y 7:30 PM (Español)

El cambio supone reducir las misas de 8:30 AM y 10:00 AM a una sola, a las 9:00 AM. Al mismo tiempo, la misa de 11:30 AM se adelanta media hora, en estos meses será a las 11:00 AM. Las misas de los sábados seguirán como siempre a las 8:00 AM y 5:30 PM. El domingo 13 de septiembre regresaremos al horario de siempre.

MISA A LAS 10:00 AM LUNES, 25 DE MAYO

DE 2015 Mañana, lunes 25 de mayo de 2015, tendremos una sola misa a las 10:00 AM en conmemoración del día de los caídos (Memorial Day). La misa se ofrecerá en honor a los hombres y mujeres que han fallecido sirviendo a los Estados Unidos de América.
