June 4, 2017 Pentecost Sunday

June 4, 2017

Pentecost The Jewish people celebrated Pentecost for centuries before it became the feast of the descent of the Holy Spirit. It was a celebration of the fiftieth day of Passover, a feast requiring every Jewish man, woman and child to come to the Temple at Jerusalem. This explains the large crowd present there fifty days after Jesus rose from the dead. They used this time to com-memorate the giving of the Ten Commandments of the Law to Moses on top of Mount Sinai, where God revealed himself in wind and fire – the same way God reveals his Spirit at Pentecost. In John’s Gospel, Jesus appears in the Upper Room on that first Easter night, breathing his spirit on his Apostles and saying, Peace be with you. In that moment, Jesus takes away their fears that his body may have been sto-

len, and he assures them that he is both risen and glorified. This event draws our minds back to the book of Genesis (2:7) where God created Adam, but he did not have life until God breathed his Spirit into his nostrils. In the Upper Room, the Apostles had long since been charged with the task of preaching and building God’s kingdom, but they did not have the capability of fulfilling this mission until Jesus breathed his God-given power upon them.

Just as God created Adam and gave him life, so too, Christ, who is God, created the Church and gives her the Spirit who guides her and protects her. Adam was created to know, love and serve God. He disobeyed and became a mere mortal. The Church was instituted by God to help all human beings to pick up where Adam left off – to make God known, loved and served by all. In as much as she obeys this great commission, the Church leads us back to immortality. In our creed, we profess faith in “the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life.” Life is what the Spirit has given to the Church, and through baptism and confirmation, this same gift is given to all who believe.

At Pentecost, God comes to us as Spirit, calling all people to a new way of life. Hundreds of new disciples began that day to live according to the Spirit of God – living in charity, joy, peace, pa-tience, goodness, faith, mildness and temperance.

Jesus said at Easter, A s the Father has sent me, so I send you (Jn. 20:21). In word, wind and fire, as in the body and blood, Jesus gives us his Spirit once again, renewing in us that same com-mand he once gave to his first disciples – that we go out to all the world and make disciples. To-day, we say with believers throughout time, Veni, Sancte Spiritus, Come, Holy Spirit – come into our hearts, come into our parishes, come into our homes, and renew the face of the earth.

As we celebrate this Pentecost and celebrate our Lord, proclaiming him to all we meet, we also draw close to the Easter Season of 2017. It is my hope that your journey these last fifty days brought you closer to our Lord and His Church. Thank you for praying with us today and always – blessings to you all --

Father Tony
