Reflexión en la Solemnidad de Pentecostés Hace cincuenta días, celebramos que Jesús había vencido a la muerte. Que la muerte no tiene cavidad en Él ni en los que nos llamamos cristianos. Que la Vida es la que tiene la última palabra; El domingo pasado, Jesús ascendía al cielo. Se reunía junto a Dios Padre, y nos hacia un hueco con Él. No nos deja huérfanos, ni se despreocupa de nosotros… Hoy cumple su promesa. El Espíritu se queda con nosotros. Baja sobre nosotros. El mismo Espíritu que animaba a Jesús, que bajo sobre Él cuando se bautizó, está con nosotros. Lo recibimos en todos los sacramentos, en especial en el Bautismo porque nos hace ser Hijo de Dios, y en la confirmación, porque recibimos la plenitud del Espíritu siendo conscientes nosotros mismo de querer llevar una vida coherente de fe. El espíritu es el que nos congrega, nos da fuerzas y nos une al Padre por medio del Hijo. Acojamos esta solemnidad con plena confianza y sintamos esa fuerza transformadora a través de los Dones. La lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles nos narra la llegada del Espíritu Santo, y como para ellos, les pilló por sorpresa. Una de las características principales de la Iglesia primitiva, es que estaban llenos del Espíritu Santo. El Espíritu Santo pone en marcha a la Iglesia, nos une a pesar de las diferencias. Nosotros no estamos solos. El Espíritu vive y actúa en cada hombre y en cada mujer. Él nos impulsa a llevar el Evangelio a todas las partes del mundo. Y si creemos que lo tenemos, no debemos tener miedo por mucha persecución y martirio que nos encontremos.
La segunda lectura de los Corintios nos habla de los diferentes carismas y dones del Espíritu Santo. Tenemos una gran responsabilidad en transmitir el Evangelio. Todos somos importantes, no hay ninguno mejor que otro. Todos formamos un solo cuerpo, y ese cuerpo es el de Cristo. Somos cristianos en medio de un mundo donde si no se demuestra, ni se palpa, ni se ve, no se cree. Pentecostés debe ser un ejemplo claro de vida. Somos hijos e hijas de Dios. Él envía a su Hijo, y nos manda una fuerza que nos une. Si Cristo nos une, ¿Quiénes somos nosotros para separarnos o decir este es más importante que el otro? El Bautismo nos incorpora a la comunidad eclesial. Que con nuestra vida, hagamos ver al mundo que el Espíritu sigue vivo y habla a través de los Dones que nos ha regalado el Señor a cada uno, y de los carismas que ha otorgado a la Iglesia. En el Evangelio de Juan, se nos muestra como los discípulos estaban encerrados por miedo. Esto es lo que nos pasa a nosotros muchas veces. Encerramos nuestro “ser de cristianos” por miedo, cobardías, vergüenzas… por lo que puedan decirnos. Pero Jesús, se presenta en medio de los discípulos y lo primero que hace es donar su Espíritu Santo para una misión. Esta donación del Espíritu del Resucitado, nos debe ayudar a ser valiente y a salir de nuestras propias cobardías e inseguridades. Desde este momento, Jesús nos invita a vivir siendo libres y a generar en otro libertad. Ya no cabe lugar para condenar, ni juzgar. Ahora toca dar una palabra de aliento liberadora y mostrar al mundo que Cristo está vivo y que su Espíritu está en nosotros. Y de aquí pasamos de estar en una casa encerrados por miedo, a abrir puertas y salir a la calle llevando el Evangelio con nuestra propia vida, ayudados por la fuerza del Espíritu. Que María, madre de la Misericordia, nos ayude a abrir nuestras vidas al Espíritu Santo. Que nos de la fuerza para comprometernos a vivir nuestra fe, a mantener la esperanza en los momentos de dificultad. Que no nos quedemos boquiabiertos mirando a las nubes o esperando grandes signos. Que nuestro mayor signo sea el que nos creamos que el Espíritu Santo está en y con nosotros y que este gozo llene nuestra vida. Ven Espíritu Santo. Que así sea. Fray José Borja.

Collection for Diocesan Senior Priests
Father’s Day Special Collection for Diocesan Priests’ Care & Support
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On Father’s Day June 15-16, 2019, there will be a special collection to care for our infirm and retired priests. The Fund for Diocesan Infirmed and Elderly Priests is a special way for the people of the Diocese of Joliet to express their concern for the welfare of those who have dedicated their lives in service to our pastoral care.
The money in this fund goes toward priests who need help with extraordinary medical expenses or suffer a catastrophic illness. It also provides for the care of the St. John Vianney Villa, home to several retired priests in the Diocese of Joliet.
Prayerfully consider making a donation to help our aged and sick priests as an expression of appreciation for all they have done in exemplifying Christ’s mercy, through their spiritual guidance and celebration of the sacraments.
On behalf of all the active and retired priests of the diocese, I am grateful for your prayers and for your generous support of the Father’s Day Collection for our aged and infirm diocesan priests. Please be assured of my prayers for you.

COMMUNITY NEWS MONTINI CATHOLIC JUNIOR RECEIVES THE JOHN EGAN DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD FOR 'CARING'
Montini Catholic junior, Joseph Knudtson of Lombard was honored with an award for his character of 'caring' at the Lombard John Egan Distinguished Service Awards. The event was held on May 8th at Lombard's Village Hall. The annual celebration recognizes the outstanding character of exceptional citizens who have positively influenced Lombard with their commitment to excellence. Since 1952, individuals who demonstrate the Pillars of Character - Caring, Citizenship, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility and Trustworthiness, have been granted the honor of being nominated for the John Egan Distinguished Service Award. "The tradition allows us a unique opportunity to recognize the efforts put forth by individuals who make a positive impact in our community," said Village President, Keith Giagnorio in his greeting for the evening. Joseph, a member of St. Pius X Parish, was nominated for the honor by Lombard citizen, Nicole Tyszkiewicz. Nicole is the mother of little McKenna, who was a 'micro-preemie' born 11 weeks early and was severely disabled with a rare chromosomal disorder. She tragically passed away at the young age of 11 during the summer of 2018 - but not before leaving an impact on every life she touched, especially Joseph's. "Our daughter could not walk, talk or see, but had a message to be shared," said Nicole in her letter nominating Joseph for the award. "During his entire life, Joey, has seemed to have a special way of thinking of others and truly connecting with them. Personally, he acted as McKenna's foot soldier of kindness. Their souls of pure goodness were an even match." Joey alerted his friends at Montini about McKenna and got them involved in painting pink rocks in her memory. "We told Montini about how Joey lost someone very special to him. Immediately (Theology teacher and Lasallian Youth leader) Mr. (Denis) Block got the school's Peer Ministry team involved in painting the rocks," said mother, Lia Knudtson. "I’ve always known Joey chose the right school, but when these students got involved for someone they didn’t know personally, but knew she meant the world to Joey, my heart just melted." "From the day he was born I always knew Joey had an old soul and the world needed him," added Lia. "When he was only 7 he saw a little boy with a little arm that was not developed. He walked right up to him and asked, 'what happened to your arm?' The boy responded, 'I was born this way,' and Joey said, 'well it would be boring if God made us all the same!' I guess that describes him the best." "When McKenna came into this world she taught us 'caring' and I truly believe she shaped Joey's life and still does," added Lia. "This makes me so proud that someone saw in him what we see. Raising a good person that truly cares is the ultimate gift a child can give to their parents. We are so grateful for this honor as well." "Joey really took the time to connect with McKenna," said Nicole. "Not only during her lifetime did Joey carry her story of goodness to everyone he knew, he will continue to do so throughout his own lifetime. He truly connects with the person, the individual and their story. This is a rarity in the world today and deserves to be honored." "I am honored to congratulate recipient Joseph Knudtson," concluded President Giagnorio. "Every time you make the choice to be truthful and honest, respectful and accepting, fair and compassionate, responsible and accountable, you show the rest of us what it means to be a good neighbor and noble citizen."
