ALL ARE SENT

Fifty days after Easter Sunday we celebrate the fulfillment of all God’s promises in the feast of Pen-tecost, a feast that has sometimes been called the birthday of the church. One last time we are remind-ed that we Christians have received the Holy Spirit, not for our own benefit, but to enable us to follow our Christian vocation. The centerpiece of the scriptures for Pentecost is the account in Acts of the Apostles of the sending of the Holy Spirit to the disciples. The other readings for this Sunday help us to understand what it means to live out our Christian vocation. Paul’s letter shows us the gifts and fruits that the Holy Spirit gives to us. John’s Gospel reminds us that Jesus has sent all his disciples to share his forgiveness and peace, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Lecturas y Noticias

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Algunos expertos han comentantado que los latinos y las latinas somos muy atraídos por movimientos carismáticos o pentecostales. Esto puede ser debido a los misioneros franciscanos que fundaron la Iglesia en América durante el siglo XVI. Probablemente sin conocer su origen estos llegaron con ideas milenaristas de un abad cisterciense llamado Joaquín de Fiore. Este monje había profetizado que estaba por llegar una época del Espíritu Santo en la cual se viviría por fin una utopía o sea el Reino de Dios. Muchos de los primeros franciscanos adoptaron sus ideas pero lamentablemente el joaquinismo, poco a poco, se transformó en here-jía por su extremada crítica a los Sacramentos y la jerarquía. Al pasar de casi 3 siglos los frailes franciscanos que llegaron a nuestro continente vinieron con la idea de inaugurar la Iglesia del Espíritu Santo, la cual reformaría los errores y las debilidades de la vieja Iglesia Eu-ropea. Esta Iglesia también sería la que defendería al nativo y el mestizo de los abusos del Conquistador. Es-te sueño de utopía, se quedó en sueño pero, es un sueño que continua en el pueblo latino y su devoción al Espíritu Santo de la Santísima Trinidad. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODOS SON ENVIADOS

Cincuenta días después del Domingo de Pascua, celebra-mos el cumplimiento de todas las promesas de Dios en el Do-mingo de Pentecostés, una celebración a la que muchas veces se ha llamado el cumpleaños de la Iglesia. Se nos recuerda otra vez más que los cristianos hemos recibido el Espíritu Santo, no para beneficio personal sino para permitirnos seguir nuestra vocación cristiana. El eje de las lecturas para Pentecostés es el relato en los Hechos de los Apóstoles, cuando el Espíritu Santo es enviado a los discípulos. Las demás lecturas para este domingo nos ayudan a comprender qué significa vivir nuestra vocación cristiana. La carta del apóstol san Pablo nos muestra los do-nes y frutos que el Espíritu Santo nos concede. El Evangelio según san Juan nos recuerda que Jesús ha enviado a todos sus discípulos para que compartan su perdón y paz, por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

GUÍANOS HOY Espíritu Santo,

que mostraste el camino a tus discípulos para anunciar el Evangelio;

te rogamos: Que como en los tiempos de los apóstoles,

guíes hoy a los mensajeros de la Buena Nueva.
