The Solemnity of Pentecost

Sacrament of Confirmation9 June 2019

Pentecost Mosaic

Welcome to Saint Cecilia Parish, a Roman Catholic community that gathers day by day, week by week, to know and make known the grace of God. By means of this abundant grace, we enjoy a diverse and close-knit parish family—young, old, rich, poor, of various ethnic origins and differing backgrounds. From our extraordinary music program to a growing children’s faith formation program; from the various liturgical ministries to the many opportunities for social outreach that the parish provides, Saint Cecilia is a vibrant community of faith, centered on prayer and worship that tries to keep the Gospel close to heart and to live by Jesus’ teachings.

Saint Cecilia Parish was established in 1888. At that time the Back Bay section of Boston along Commonwealth Avenue and Beacon Street was the residential section of the Yankee aristocracy. The maids (“Irish working out girls”) and coachmen who served these residents had long requested a church of their own. When Archbishop Williams granted their request and carved the parish from the territory of the Cathedral, they built a magnificent church out of their meager earnings.

The church was dedicated on April 22, 1894. Its architecture is Romanesque, XII Century Norman. The main altar, notable for its massive simplicity, was carved from a single block of white Carrara marble. The painting in the center reredos is a reproduction of da Vinci’s The Last Supper, and the dome above is an array of 24K gold rosettes.

For the sixtieth anniversary celebration in 1954, a massive renovation project was undertaken. During this renovation, a statue of Pope Saint Pius X (canonized that same year) was imported from Italy and placed on the right side of the sanctuary. Above the statue are paintings from Pius’ life. On the left side is a statue of Saint Patrick, principal patron of the Archdiocese of Boston, and above it are three scenes from his life.

Fourteen circular and sixteen square panels adorn the nave and arches of the church. The square panels are decorated with the symbols of Our Lady taken from the Litany of Loreto and the circular ones with symbols taken from the lives of the apostles. The great window of the Assumption—framed by the two oak cases of the organ—was installed in 1954 (the Marian Year) in spaces originally designed for windows but not until then used.

The original organ of 24 stops was built in 1902 by the Hutchings-Votey Organ Company, Opus 1465, and was rebuilt in 1954 with 32 stops. In 1998, Timothy Smith and Theodore Gilbert began a massive reconstruction of the organ. The current Smith & Gilbert Organ of 4 manuals, 54 ranks, and 3,084 pipes was dedicated on the Feast of Saint Cecilia, November 22, 1999.

Today we are experiencing something of an awakening within these old walls. Our numbers are increasing by 350 new households each year, and we continue to grow in our commitment to issues of peace, justice, and service to our neighbors, both near and far.

We’ve been right here on Belvidere Street, in the same building for 125 years, but that does not mean that life here is stale, stagnant, or even predictable. We are proud to be entrusted with the legacy of Saint Cecilia Parish, where everything is the same, yet always changing; where we honor tradition while embracing the future; where God’s love makes all things new.

Welcome!

Spanning the generations ~ 1894 ~ 2019 ~ 2119 ~ the Saint Cecilia Letters Project is the creation of an his-toric parish time capsule and it begins with a question:

If you had the opportunity to have a conversation with the person(s) who will sit in the pew(s), you occupy to-day, one hundred years from now, what would you share?

There are three ways to participate:• Electronic letters and digital photos — please email them to: 2119lettersproject@gmail.com they will be print-

ed off on archival paper. • For handwritten letters — archival paper packets may be picked-up and dropped-off with photos at the narthex

table following each Mass, through Sunday, June 9, or mailed to: The Saint Cecilia 2119 Letters Project Saint Cecilia Parish 18 Belvidere Street Boston, MA, 02115.

• For personal assistance — please see a Committee Member at the narthex table. Due to space constraints, one letter (two page max) and photo per person.

DeaDline exTenTion! — SePTember 1, 2019

HELPFUL TIPS• Black and white photos will outlast color photos, but decision is at the submitters’ discretion. [Cell phone images can be edited and converted into black and white if desired.]

• For handwritten conversations, graphite pencil will outlast ink pen. [If using ink, please choose a permanent pen, such as a fine-tip Sharpie.]

• If you need inspiration for ideas to include in your conversation consider this — with medical advances and in-creased longevity to come through the next century, it is not outside the realm of possibility that members of our youngest generation (0-20 yrs.), may be present the evening of April 22, 2119, for the 225th Anniversary Celebration of Saint Cecilia Parish’s Dedication, and capsule unsealing as our eldest generation. What would you want them to remember about you or your family, our parish, what is happening now in Boston and within this era, and your hopes and prayers for their parish community?

2019 Boston Pride FestivalIf you are reading this online, Saint Cecilia Rainbow Minis-try, in collaboration with the Paulist Center and Saint An-thony Shrine (Arch Street) and the Paulist Center, will be represented at the Boston PrideFest on Saturday, June 8 at City Hall Plaza from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please stop by and say hello!

Happy Pentecost!The Holy Spirit is described in the Acts of the Apostles as a "strong, driving wind," which fills the house in which the disciples are staying, and, in the Gospel of John, as a gentle breath, when the Risen Christ "breathes" on the disciples and gives them the gifts of the Spirit. Both of these passages are read today. The Holy Spirit works in many ways in our lives—at times with great force and also with subtle gentle-ness. Pray for the ability to listen and be receptive to both the dramatic manifestations, as well as to the quieter ones.They are both God's voice.

Welcome Back, Father Flavin!We are pleased to welcome our dear friend the Very Rev. James Flavin who is the celebrant at this morning's 11:15 liturgy. Father Flavin is the Episcopal Vicar for the Central Region of the Archdiocese of Boston and is with us today toconfirm thirteen of our high school young men and women and four adults.

Happy Pride Month!Saint Cecilia wishes a Happy Pride to our LGBTQ sisters and brothers. Thank you for the courage you show in living lives of authenticity and for reminding us all that love always wins. May we never forget that every one of us is made in the beautiful image of God and are entitled to be treated with "respect, compassion, and sensitivity" ~Catechism of the Catholic Church.

A PRAYER FOR PENTECOST

On this feast of Pentecost, pray that the Spirit of God who breathed over the dark chaos at the moment of creation and brought forth light and life, breathe forth in our time and in our troubled, too violent world, gifts of wisdom, courage, compassion, and right judg-ment—gifts that can heal wounds no matter how old, and memories no matter how painful; gifts that can turn adversaries into allies, and enemies into friends; gifts that can renew the face of the earth!

The golden sequence

Veni Sancti Spiritus, known as "the Golden Sequence," is the sequence for the Mass for Pentecost. It is commonly regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces of sacred Latin poetry ever written. Its beauty and depth have been praised by many. This beautiful poem addresses the Holy Spirit with many different titles and images: the Holy Spiritis “Father of the poor," "comforter," "sweet refreshment," "solace," and "light." The multitude of images suggests the free play of the Holy Spirit: gentle, yet never static, and impossible to be contained or controlled. The poem has been attributed to different authors, the most likely being Stephen Cardinal Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury (1207—1228). Listen to the beautiful composition of today’s sequence, composed by Richard J. Clark and sung just before the Gospel acclamation. Let it bring you to a deeper place of prayer on this final day of Eastertide.

calendar notes on pentecost

Pentecost is the fiftieth and final day of Eastertide. It is, curiously to us, a harvest feast in its origins. This doesn’t seem like harvest time here, but around the Mediterranean the apricots, cherries, and strawberries are ripe and ready for the market. Winter wheat is the principal harvest of the year and, if all goes well, yields a crop that can feed people all year long. Even in the north, we have asparagus, rhubarb, the first peas, spinach and salad greens. Winter's fast is now springtime’s feast. So, the Jewish people kept a feast of "first fruits" fifty days after Passover. This feast, called Shavuot, is a time of celebrating the harvest and also God’s covenant made on Mount Sinai. Since the first Christians would have kept Shavuot, it is easy to see how Christian meaning was assigned to this Jewish feast. So, Pentecost sets a seal on Easter; it is a grand finale, and our liturgy should refect that energy as we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The liturgy begins with the account in Acts of the Apostles of the coming of the Spirit Jesus promised. The Spirit descends in fire and wind, just as God appeared to Moses on Mount Sinai. Over and over again in the Gospel of Luke we hear that Jesus was filled with the power of the Spirit. Pentecost is made anew at every baptism, every eucharist, every time two or more gather in Jesus' name. This is the last Sunday when the Mass begins with the blessing and sprinkling of holy water. There are many customs around the world that can extend Pentecost into your home. In some places, people decorate their homes with red roses and peonies and fresh green leaves. Years ago the Vigil of Pentecost was observed with caroling and dancing outdoors near churches. It is a day for flying kites or walking a wind-swept beach. Strawberry shortcake is a traditional Pentecost dessert. People wear red when they go to Mass in many places. In Red Sox Nation, it shouldn't be so hard to find something red to wear to church!

Confirmandi

Duarte Alexander Santos Albuquerque

Duarte Alexander Santos Albuquerque lives in Brookline with his two parents and dog Apollo. Duarte also has a sister who is in college. Duarte currently attends Boston Uni-versity Academy. Confirmation, for Duarte, superficially is his entry into the Church as an adult. However, confirmation has a much deeper spiritual and immaterial value to Duarte. To Duarte, the church and its beliefs have always served as a moral code and a way of life, which Duarte incessantly lives by through his good works, thoughts, and actions. Thus the act of being confirmed in the Catholic Church for Duarte will serve as a vow to serve God and thy neighbor until he no longer can. This year, Duarte has lived by this code in his work with the Partnership Program for the disabled at the YMCA, and in his work with

Community Servings, but also in his everyday life through acts and words of hope, kindness, and care. Subsequently when choosing a saint name, Duarte chose Alexander from Saint Alexander Sauli because of the meaning of his name “helper of the people” and the good works he did while on earth. During the process of confirmation, Duarte thought deeply about his spirituality and what it meant to be a good Christian and serve God. Duarte believes that it is his vocation to help others and help build the Kingdom of God on earth through these works.

Patrick Joseph Ignatius Bole

Patrick lives in Jamaica Plain with his parents, Carol and Bill, as well as an older sister, Cecilia, who currently attends Georgetown Law School. Patrick attends Boston College High School. This year, Patrick, along with a dozen of his classmates, travelled to New Orleans for their Junior service trip. There, they learned about the presence of racism throughout society as well as ways in which it may be addressed. Catholic Social Teach-ing calls for all people to be treated with dignity, and that all people have a responsibil-ity to insure that this dignity is secured. Patrick is most drawn to the Gift of Counsel. In life, one must make countless decisions; thus, prudence and right judgment are virtues that all should benefit from.

Jakob Thomas Aquinas Ottaway-Velder

Jakob Ottaway-Velder lives in Brookline with his mother, father, sister, and foster rabbit. As his mother is from Germany, he is bilingual, and visits his grandmother there yearly. He attends Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall High School in Waltham. After school, he participates in theater tech and ultimate frisbee. Outside of school, he is very interested in history and psychology, and enjoys reading about these and (almost all) other topics. He enjoys volunteering with his school and the Saint Cecilia community, and has participated in the YNIA service trip last year, and was very affected by the the way the group was grate-fully received by the host community in Nebraska. He is looking forward to attending this year's community service excursion to Washington DC, and sees this kind of service

as integral in fulfilling the challenge and gift of confirmation and full initiation into the Catholic community. As his confirmation name, he has chosen the important Catholic theologian and philosopher, Thomas Aquinas. Jakob is very interested in that time period and the theology of that era. Jakob hopes that St. Thomas and the wisdom contained in his writing can support him in his quest of understanding and applying the Gift of Right Judgment, in a world where the line between right and wrong is often blurred or intentionally obfuscated.

Grace Gorham Patricia Connolly

Grace Connolly lives in the North End with her mom, dad and younger sister Sarah. She is a sophomore at Boston Latin School. Grace will be taking Patricia as her confirma-tion name because it is the feminine version of Patrick, the middle name of both of her grandfathers. Furthermore, St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, and Grace’s Irish-American heritage is very important to her and her family. The Catholic faith has always been a key part of her life, and Grace wants to continue this by being confimed. Additionally, she hopes to be able to become more active in the Church by getting con-firmed.

Isabella Isako Hildegard of Bingen Massarelli

Isabella Isako Massarelli lives in the Back Bay with her mother, father, and dog Abby. She attends Boston Latin School and is currently finishing up her sophomore year there. Isabella finds her confirmation to be very important because she feels that it will bring her closer to God. She wants to live her happiest life possible, and thinks that becoming closer to God will teach her to be more patient, kind, and understanding. Her confirma-tion name is Hildegard von Bingen, a Benedictine abbess who was a scientist, hymn com-poser, and mystic. Isabella admires Hildegard’s influence in so many fields of work and thinks that she would be the perfect guide in Isabella’s life. Isabella is very excited to be confirmed and she looks forward to her future in the Church!

Owen Christopher Roche

Owen Roche is a sophomore at Brookline High School who lives in Coolidge Corner. He enjoys playing baseball and plays on the BHS team. In Brookline, he volunteers in a baseball league for people with mental disabilities called the Sean Roberts Challenger League. The league, which gives children with mental disabilities a chance to play base-ball, has been going on for three years, and he volunteers with other varsity players on his team. Owen is most excited to receive the Gift of Understanding because even if all of God’s works can’t be completely understood, he can still be led to the truth. All in all, he is very excited to be confirmed this year and to take his next step in the Catholic Church.

Olivia Blythe Joan Hall

Olivia lives in Jamaica Plain and goes to The Winsor School. Olivia chose Saint Joan of Arc as her confirmation name because she wants to reflect Joan’s leadership, determi-nation, and courage. Olivia also admires Joan’s commitment to her devotion and faith. Somewhat similar to Joan’s commitment to faith, Olivia shows her commitment to faith through her involvement in community service. Last summer, Olivia and her friend created a small community service group, Pick Up Pals, aimed at bringing together students while giving back to the community. She has successfully organized service around Massachusetts once a month. Olivia’s service involvement has strengthened her perspective of those in need. She has enjoyed helping and bettering her commu-nity’s condition.

Conor James Luke Downey

Conor Downey lives on Beacon Hill and goes to the Roxbury Latin School. Throughout confirmation classes and the discussions within them, Conor learned about the im-portance of confirmation, that being the strengthening of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner. To Conor, confirmation will embody a connection to family and a bond that he shares among peers. Conor chose Saint Luke on behalf for his love and passion for stained glass, as Saint Luke is the patron saint of stained glass workers and light. Conor has connected his passion of stained glass with the Church prior to this with his recreation of the Notre Dame de la Belle Verriere, a piece at the Chartres Cathedral in France. This recreation is installed at the Deutches-Altenheim, a senior home in West Roxbury, in the chapel.

Delia Jane Cecilia Duggan

Delia Duggan lives in Beacon Hill with her parents, brother, and dog. She has been a member of the Saint Cecilia community since she was born. Delia attends Newton Country Day School where she enjoys playing soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. Delia is most excited to receive the Gift of Courage. She strives to not only be courageous and stand up for herself, but for others as well. Delia has chosen Cecilia for her confirma-tion name. She has chosen this name because she loves music. She loves how music is a universal language and can have a different meaning for each person who hears it. Delia also loves how music can tell a story, just through the sound and lyrics. She is very excited to be receiving the sacrament of confirmation.

Dorothea Deere Genevieve Dunne

Dorothea Dunne is a sophomore in high school and attends Dexter Southfield School in Brookline, Massachusetts. She has 14-year-old brother that also attends Dexter-Southfield and is in 8th Grade. Dorothea and her brother split their time between West Roxbury and Dedham, but they were born and raised in the South End. This connection allowed Dorothea and her family to attend Saint Cecilia for over 10 years and now living a bit further away, they still make it a priority to come into church. You might have even seen them altar serving! She received her first Holy Communion at Saint Cecilia as well. She believes that confirmation is a very important step in one’s Catholic journey because they gain the Holy spirit and start to fully understand their faith. Receiving the Holy Spirt helps people to become more connected with God and feel the sense of the Holy spirit around them. For her confirmation name, she picked Saint Genevieve – the patron saint of Paris. She chose this because she enjoys learning French and it has become a part of her life. Her mother majored in French in college and spoke French to Dorothea when she was young. Dorothea then picked it back up in middle school and has been learning more about the language ever since. Dorothea hopes for peace on her continued journey with God and the Holy Spirit.

Jordan Philip Michael DeCoste

Jordan is a sophomore at Matignon High School in Cambridge. He lives in Melrose with his mom and his three pets. He is a passionate actor and musician, playing in multiple bands and performing in the Matignon Drama Club. Jordan has volunteered with food pantries and kitchens to serve to the homeless, and enjoys helping others. He chose Michael for his confirmation name because of the Archangel Michael and for his guidance with carrying the most affirming message forward in life. This is his first year at Saint Cecilia Church and he is enjoying it very much.

Aldo Vincent Francis Noury-Ello

Aldo lives in the South End and attends Boston College High School. Confirmation is im-portant to Aldo because he wants to become an adult in the eyes of the Church. He chose the confirmation name Francis because of the many great things he did throughout his life, and aspires to demonstrate some of the admirable traits Saint Francis possessed throughout his life.

Ludovico Alessandro Rollo

Ludovico Alessandro Rollo has been a member of the Saint Cecilia Parish community for the past fourteen years. He lives in the Back Bay, with parents Marta and Alessandro, and siblings Allegra (19), Federico (17), and Riccardo (14). Since seventh grade, he has gone to Boston Latin School, where he plans to graduate in 2021. He wants to be confirmed in order to continue and better his experiences of giving back to the community. For about the past two years, Ludovico has been a lector, for both Sunday liturgies and special occa-tions. He has also participated in the parish’s organized trips to the Pine Street Inn shelter, serving both the men and the women’s sides. During these experiences especially, he has learned what it is like to be part of the community at large. By receiving the Holy Spirit, he hopes to further his experiences in community service and to continue being a proactive and compassionate member of society.

A REQUEST FROM

CATHOLIC CHARITIES

Celebrating its 100th anniversary, Sunset Point Camp has provided a dream vacation at the seashore to over 40,000 low-income, at-risk children aged 6 to 13 from Greater Boston without regard for their race, nationality, or religious affiliation. Nearly 450 city-based boys and girls travel to Hull each summer for a one or two-week overnight camp experience letting them enjoy the fresh air, learn new talents, receive academic summer support and simply have fun.

Sunset Point Camp is operated by our friends at Catholic Charities. They have mentioned to us that they always need donations of sunscreen for the kids at the camp. So the next time you're at CVS or Walgreen's or your local supermarket, please consider picking up an extra tube of sunscreen and dropping it in the plastic bin identified for this purpose in the narthex. We have been told the higher the SPF number, the better. The Camp also needs kids' flipflops for boys and girls age 6 to 12.

Pentecost is a feast that speaks for itself. Its wind and fire, its colors and sounds, tell a story that requires little, if any, commentary. But a little context can always help.

Pentecost was a Jewish festival long before it became a Christian one. For our Jewish brothers and sisters, Pentecost, or the Feast of Weeks, celebrates God’s gift of the Torah, the Law, to Moses and the chosen people.

Our Christian Pentecost celebrates the gift of God’s Law, too, as St. John Chrysostom, bishop of Constantinople, ob-served in a Pentecost homily over 1500 years ago. I quote: “Pentecost marks the moment when the disciples of Jesus “emerged from the Cenacle carrying within themselves the Law of the Spirit, a Law written in their hearts. Each became a living Law, a living book animated by the Holy Spirit.”

So, the gift of God’s Law, the Law of the Spirit written in our hearts provides some of the context for this feast. But there’s more. In the reading from Acts, Luke connected the moment of Pentecost with the story of creation in the Book

of Genesis. The “strong, driving wind” that swept through the room where the disciples were gathered brings to mind the Genesis moment when a mighty wind swept over the waters of the abyss and God brought light out of darkness. So, more context. Pentecost is creation. Think of it as the New Creation.

And there is yet another Genesis story that gives context for the Christian Pentecost. It’s the story of the Tower of Babel when people who spoke a common language decided in their self-assurance to build a city with a great tower that would reach into the heavens. They did this, Genesis tells us, be-cause “they wanted to make a name for themselves” – which suggests that they were driven by pride and ambition. If they could just build their tower high enough it would pierce the heavens and they could steal God’s power and become more like God than they already were. Of course, when the tower collapsed, they ended up less like God - speaking a confu-sion of languages: divided, dispirited, dispersed.

Pentecost reverses that story. On the day of Pentecost there

Pentecost ReflectionsBy MICHAEL G. RYAN

SAINT CECILIA PARISH

Holy Spirit of Pentecost comes to us in fire to awaken and embolden us – to make us eager to renew and repair rela-tionships – relationships within families and among friends, relationships between peoples and nations, and, yes, our re-lationship with the creation around us.

My friends, may the Spirit of Pentecost come to us now in this Eucharist. May the Spirit annoy us, disturb us, prod us, push us out of this Cathedral and into the streets, into our homes, our workplaces – into all those places where faith and love, conviction and compassion, mercy and justice can make a difference. “Lord, send out your Spirit and renew the face of the earth!”

~ The Very Rev. Michael G. Ryan has been the pastor of St. James Cathedral in Seattle since 1988.

were many languages but, quite amazingly, when people who were gathered in Jerusalem from all over the Mediter-ranean world heard the preaching of the disciples, each was able to hear them speaking in his or her own tongue. What should have been a hopelessly divisive experience, became this amazing moment of unity when the many and the di-verse became one.

So, historical context can definitely enhance our understand-ing of Pentecost. But Pentecost also has a contemporary context because, my friends, like all our feasts, Pentecost lives in the present as well as in the past. Pentecost is hap-pening right now. I hope we can feel that in this liturgy and I hope we can know it every day. Pope Francis, in one of his off-the-cuff weekday homilies, spoke of how the Holy Spirit is with us now, but how we are quite good at keeping the Spirit at a distance from us, quite good at ‘taming’ the Holy Spirit.

“If I may speak plainly,” he said, “we want to tame the Holy Spirit because the Spirit annoys us…the Spirit moves us, pushes us - pushes the Church - to move forward, and too often we would prefer it if the Spirit would just keep quiet and not bother us!” As an example, he spoke of the Second Vatican Council, the “New Pentecost” of Pope John XXIII, and how some in the Church seek to neutralize the Council by treating it as a museum piece instead of as the living, dynamic, revolutionary call to action it was. “That’s the sure way,” Pope Francis said, “to stifle the Holy Spirit.

My friends, Pentecost is about letting the Spirit bother us, annoy us, make us uncomfortable; Pentecost is about daring to engage the world with all its destructive divisions - per-sonal, political, and theological - seeing them for the dead ends they are. How sad, then, when out of fear we are con-tent to stand on the sidelines, clinging to our comfortable certainties, closed off to new ways of thinking, closed off to views other than our own.

In his recent Apostolic Exhortation, Gaudete et Exsultate, Pope Francis warns against allowing ourselves to be para-lyzed by fear and excessive caution, always hiding in what he calls safe, closed spaces. “Closed spaces,” he says, “grow musty and unhealthy, and the only antidote to them is a holy boldness, the kind of boldness that sent the disciples to the streets on Pentecost.” He concludes, “Let us ask for the ap-ostolic boldness to share the gospel with others and to stop making our Christian life a museum of memories!”

“A museum of memories.” That must not be the Church; it must not be our life! A museum of memories is the very opposite of the New Creation that is Pentecost because the
