RECONCILED DIVERSITY
A few years ago, during Rome’s quiet summer, Pope Francis took a day off to visit privately with some
old friends, whose identity took Catholic Italy by sur-
prise: Evangelical Protestants. They welcomed Francis to
their Pentecostal Church of Reconciliation, where Fran-
cis asked pardon for Catholic persecutions and celebrated
the Holy Spirit’s “pentecostal work.” Unlike Satan, de-
clared Francis, who creates division among God’s chil-
dren, the Holy Spirit creates a diversity rich and beauti-
ful. And unity; not uniformity, Francis specified, but uni-
ty in diversity. Francis named the Spirit’s gift
“reconciled diversity.” Pentecost’s rich treasury of scrip-
tural readings, for Saturday’s vigil and Sunday’s morn-
ing liturgy, traces the Holy Spirit’s work from creation’s
beginning, through Jesus’ resurrection, into the church’s
earliest days, now into our days. Kindled in our hearts,
the Spirit’s gentle fire is ours to share generously, even
with those most strikingly different from us. All hearts
are Spirit-warmed by reconciled diversity .

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Hoy celebramos la Pascua de Pentecostés. Esta es una de las tres Pascuas que celebramos los cristianos.
Las otras dos son la Pascua de Resurrección (o Pascua Florida) y la Pascua del Nacimiento de Jesús. Estas
tres solemnidades cristianas celebran tres momentos claves en el plan de salvación: la Encarnación del Ver-
bo Divino (Jesús), su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección y el descenso de su Espíritu Santo sobre la Iglesia. Pas-
cua viene siendo el nombre de la principal solemnidad del calendario judío y recuerda la liberación del pue-
blo de Israel de la esclavitud. Los cristianos hemos tomado ese nombre por reconocernos como descendien-
tes de Abraham y porque en nuestras tres pascuas celebramos que Jesús viene a salvarnos, o sea, a liberarnos
del pecado y sus consecuencias tanto personales como sociales. En muchas partes el titulo de Pascua se ha
dejado para hablar de la Fiesta de la Navidad y la Fiesta de Pentecostés. Esto es una lástima ya que el recor-
dar la Pascua debe impulsar al cristiano a obrar por la liberación de todos para que el mundo se salve por
Jesucristo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
DIVERSIDAD RECONCILIADA
Hace algunos años, durante un verano tranquilo en Ro-ma, el Papa Francisco tomó un día de descanso para pasar un tiempo en privado con algunos viejos amigos, cuyas identidades tomaron por sorpresa a los católicos italianos: protestantes evangélicos. Ellos dieron la bienvenida a Fran-cisco a su iglesia pentecostal de la reconciliación, donde Francisco pidió perdón por las persecuciones católicas y ce-lebró “la obra pentecostal” del Espíritu Santo. Francisco de-claró que Satanás crea división en medio de los hijos de Dios, pero el Espíritu Santo crea una diversidad rica y her-mosa. Y unidad, pero no uniformidad, Francisco especificó, sino unidad en la diversidad. Francisco nombró el don del Espíritu Santo “diversidad reconciliada”. El rico tesoro de Pentecostés de las lecturas de las Escrituras, para la vigilia del sábado y la liturgia del domingo por la mañana, rastrea la obra del Espíritu Santo desde el comienzo de la creación, mediante la resurrección de Jesús, hacia los primeros días de la Iglesia, ahora en nuestros días. Encerrados en nuestros corazones, el fuego gentil del Espíritu es nuestro para com-partir generosamente, incluso con aquellos que son notable-mente diferentes a nosotros. Todos los corazones son estimulados por la diversidad reconciliada. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
