Palabra de Dios para el domingo de Pentecostés.
JESUS HA ENVIADO SU ESPIRITU SANTO y esto supone
para nosotros, entre muchas cosas, dos hechos relevantes. Por
una parte, tenemos la seguridad de la cercanía de Dios y de su
acción poderosa. Por otra, nos recuerda que, ante Dios, debemos
colocarnos en una absoluta indefensión. Pedir al Espíritu Santo
que venga conlleva liberarnos de toda previsión y precaución. El
se presenta como viento impetuoso y como fuego que purifica.
Libera al hombre haciéndole capaz de afrontar las situaciones más
difíciles y lo arrastra hasta donde no podía imaginar fuera posible
llegar. Invocar al Espíritu Santo es siempre colocarse ante la sor-
presa de la acción de Dios.
Si pensamos, por ejemplo, en los siete dones, vemos que es así: el
asombro por la grandeza de un Dios que se hace cercano infundi-
do por el temor de Dios; la experiencia de ser verdaderos hijos y
de poder vivir como tales, que nos atrae la piedad; la capacidad
inesperada para afrontar las dificultades o permanecer firmes en
la verdad y el bien gracias al don de la fortaleza; el conocimiento
del verdadero valor de las cosas y de uno mismo que llega por la
ciencia; el asombro cuando se deshace la perplejidad gracias al
consejo; la comprensión vital y profunda de la Escritura que da el
don de inteligencia; comprender la belleza del designio de Dios
sobre la historia que da la Sabiduría y que nos permite juzgar las
cosas según su querer.
Nada de eso se puede prever ni podemos organizarnos para conse-
guirlo. Dios lo da, como vemos en tantos ejemplos de los santos.
¿Quién podía imaginar que santa Teresa de Lisieux nos iba a en-
señar a leer el evangelio, que san Francisco nos iba a educar para
ver a Dios en las criaturas, que el Cura de Ars podría aconsejar
sobre casos difíciles a compañeros mucho más preparados o que Tomás Moro, que sentía una gran repugnancia al dolor, se acer-
caría al cadalso bromeando con sus verdugos?
El Espíritu Santo es dado a la Iglesia. Por él la Iglesia comunica
la vida de Dios y es capaz de avanzar con libertad. Como señaló
Pablo VI: “El soplo oxigenador del Espíritu ha venido a despertar
en la Iglesia energías latentes, a suscitar carismas adormecidos, a infundir aquel sentido de vitalidad y de alegría que, en cada época
de la historia, hace joven y actual a la Iglesia, dispuesta y feliz
para anunciar su eterno mensaje a los tiempos nuevos”.
El mismo Espíritu Santo nos mantiene en la unidad. Porque por
el Espíritu Santo somos incorporados a la Iglesia, verdadero Cuer-
po de Cristo. Es una unidad que no solo no nos hace renunciar a
nuestra singularidad, sino que, el mismo Espíritu Santo, suscita
carismas y funciones diferentes que puestos los unos al servicio
de los otros, unen y embellecen.
El mismo Espíritu Santo nos va conduciendo hacia la verdad
plena, es decir, nos va acercando a un conocimiento cada vez más
profundo de Jesucristo y nos lleva hasta nuestro encuentro defini-
tivo con él. El Espíritu Santo, que es el amor del Padre y del
Hijo, que él mismo es Dios, que nos perdona los pecados, nos
santifica y libera nuestro corazón para practicar la misericordia.
El Espíritu Santo es el alma de la Iglesia. Pero también se da a
nuestros corazones. Tenemos que invocarlo continuamente para
que nuestra vida sea continuamente ungida por él: los padres que
piden acertar con sus hijos; los enfermos que necesitan ser fuer-
tes; el que quiere ayudar a un amigo; el sacerdote que busca dar a
conocer a Jesús…Humanamente hay muchos caminos, pero el
Espíritu Santo nos es dado para que Dios realice su obra salvado-
ra en el mundo. Que él venga sobre nosotros y lo haga todo nue-
vo. Magnificat - David A. Fernández
Pentecost Sunday –Year of Mark - May 20, 2018
Pentecost (Acts 2:1-11)
Pentecost is the ‘Third Great Day’ in the church's yearly calen-
dar, after Easter and Christmas. In a real sense, it’s the birth-
day of the Church. It's the day the Holy Spirit came upon the
church in power for the very first time. And like the breath in
our lungs right now, if we did not have the Holy Spirit, the
church would be dead.
Some major changes took place on Pentecost. The disciples
were huddled together in fear, when the sound of a blowing
wind came down from heaven. What seemed to be tongues of
fire settled on their heads.
If we read the text of Acts closely we see that Luke says ‘there
appeared to them tongues as of fire’. It was the only way he
could describe the manifestation of the Holy Spirit upon the
disciples. Fire in scriptures often signified the holy presence of
God – like the burning bush, the pillar of fire, the consuming
fire on Mount Sinai and so on.
We are told that ‘The tongues of fire separated and rested upon
each of them’. So the Spirit of God fell on the Apostles, in a
mighty way. The point being made is that this is not literal
fire. It’s symbolic.
They were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they were under-
stood perfectly by people speaking different languages.
A crowd gathered and listened as the disciples preached the
gospel. After Peter preached his sermon, 3000 people came to
faith and were baptized.
We do know that Jerusalem was packed with people, because
of the Jewish Festival of Pentecost - which was originally a
harvest festival, celebrating the first cutting of wheat. And they
came from all over the Roman Empire - speaking different
languages.
Earlier, our lesson also says that suddenly a sound came from
heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled the entire
house where they were sitting. By describing the noise as
coming from heaven, Luke emphasizes that this was super-
natural action. It was not a weather-related problem. The su-
pernatural activity of God is so utterly beyond the grasp of
humans that St Luke has to employ similes to describe His
manifestations to us.
Acts goes on to tell us of the immediate changes that took
place on Pentecost. No longer were the disciples confused or
timid. Now, they were confident - speaking courageously in
public.
Another incredible thing is the gift the disciples enjoyed, of
being understood by people speaking different languages.
Luke makes it clear that the disciples’ speech was clearly un-
derstood by a variety of people – 15 in all, representing all the
nations of the world.
The lesson here is simple - the Holy Spirit comes to unite peo-
ple from all the nations under the truth of the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
And the wonderful message of Pentecost is that we really are
not alone. The Holy Spirit walks with us and talks with us
every day. Through good times and the bad, even though we
are strangers on this earth, Jesus our Savior has not abandoned
us. His Spirit lives on - the Holy Spirit is with us.
