Gomez Chuqui & Maria H. Chiglan Naula PENTECOST SUNDAY First Reading: Acts 2:1-11 During the Feast of Pentecost, tongues of fire came to rest on the heads of the disciples and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Each disciple began speaking in a different language, and were understood by people from many different regions who were amazed at what they had witnessed. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 Paul explains that we are all members of one body. We have all been baptized in one Spirit and although numerous, we are one through Christ. Gospel: John 20:19-23 John describes Jesus’ first visit to the disciples after his resurrection. He gave them the Holy Spirit and the power to forgive other people or hold them responsible for their actions. The Pentecost event is so well known. The signs of fire, wind and noise accompany the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. What was is no more, as the fear which brought them together was unlocked as were the doors and a new era began. The Spirit which Jesus breathed into the apostles became the breath of new life for the church as the Spirit of God sent them to renew the face of the earth. As the doors were opened, the windows of Aggiornamento of Pope Saint John 23rd allowed new life to spring forth in the church. The Spirit comes to us in our weakness today, as we do not have all the answers but He intercedes for us, allowing us to be spirit driven to bring the gospel to our waiting world. PENTECOST SUNDAY MAY 24 Novena Prayer O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into heaven, did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me that He may perfect in my soul, the work of Your grace and Your love. Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Your divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with You and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints, the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable, and the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Your true disciples and animate me in all things with Your Spirit. Amen. Sunday, May 31st, the Knights of Columbus is going to hold a 1st Degree in English after the 10:15 Mass. All the men of the parish who would like to become Knights are welcome. DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTES 24 DE MAYO Oracion de la Novena DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTÉS Primera Lectura: Hechos 2:1-11 Durante la fiesta de Pentecostés lenguas como de fuego se posaron sobre las cabezas de cada uno de los discípulos. Quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, y eran entendidos por gente de muchas regiones diferentes, quienes estaban asombrados de lo que presenciaron. Segunda Lectura: 1 Corintios 12:3b-7, 12-13 Pablo explica que todos los miembros de la iglesia forman un cuerpo. Todos hemos sido bautizados en un Espíritu, y aunque seamos muchos, somos uno por medio de Cristo Evangelio: San Juan 20:19-23 Juan describe cómo Jesús se les apareció por primera vez a los discípulos después de su resurrección. Les dió el Espíritu Santo y el poder de perdonar o hacer responsables a las personas de sus acciones.. El evento de Pentecostés es bien conocido. Las señales de fuego, viento y ruido acompañan el poder de transformación del Espíritu Santo. Lo que fue ya no lo es; el miedo que los llevó a unirse desapareció cuando se abrieron las puertas y una nueva era comenzó. El Espíritu que Jesús sopló a los apóstoles se convirtió en el aliento de una nueva vida para la iglesia cuando el Espíritu de Dios los envió a renovar la faz de la tierra. Así como las puertas se abrieron, las ventanas del Aggiornamento del Papa San Juan XXIII permitió que nueva vida retoñara en la iglesia. El Espíritu nos llega en nuestra debilidad hoy, ya que no poseemos todas las respuestas. Sin embargo El intercede por nosotros, permitiéndonos ser espíritu dirigido a llevar el evangelio a un mundo que espera. Bendito Espíritu de Sabiduría, ayúdame a buscar a Dios. Que sea el centro de mi vida, orientada hacia Él para que reine en mi alma el amor y armonía. Bendito Espíritu de Entendimiento, ilumina mi mente, para que yo conozca y ame las verdades de fe y las haga verdadera vida de mi vida. Bendito Espíritu de Consejo, ilumíname y guíame en todos mis caminos, para que yo pueda siempre conocer y hacer tu santa voluntad. Hazme prudente y audaz. Bendito Espíritu de Fortaleza, vigoriza mi alma en tiempo de prueba y adversidad. Dame lealtad y confianza. Bendito Espíritu de Ciencia, ayúdame a distinguir entre el bien y el mal. Enséñame a proceder con rectitud en la presencia de Dios. Dame clara visión y decisión firme. Bendito Espíritu de Piedad, toma posesión de mi corazón; inclinalo a creer con sinceridad en Ti, a amarte santamente, Dios mio, para que con toda mi alma pueda yo buscarte a ti, que eres mi Padre, el mejor y más verdadero gozo. Bendito Espíritu de Santo Temor, penetra lo mas intimo de mi corazón para que yo pueda siempre recordar tu presencia. Hazme huir del pecado y concédeme profundo respeto para con Dios y ante los demás, creados a imagen de Dios. Amen.

Pour informations, prière de contacter Fritz Joseph (845- 352-7330) ou Jacqueline Sanon (845-842-4890) Désarroi, confusion, stupéfaction ! Voici que tous se comprennent ! Comment cela est-il possible ? N’y aurait-il plus qu’une seule langue ? Est-ce là le don de l’Esprit : une langue universelle, une sorte « d’espéranto » visant à faciliter la communication internationale ? Aurions-nous, depuis, perdu ce langage commun et, avec lui, la faculté de comprendre l’autre ? L’événement de la Pentecôte nous conduit à quitter la logique de la communication pour entrer dans la logique de la Révélation. Nous, auditeurs de la Parole aujourd’hui, redécouvrons que l’Esprit n’est pas un simple agent de communication, facilitateur de rencontre. Il est le vecteur de toute relation, qui rend témoignage à la vérité en donnant vie au double commandement de l’amour. Le plus grand étonnement des Juifs réunis n’est pas tant de parler la langue de l’autre que d’entendre l’autre dans sa langue maternelle. Cette dernière, transmise au petit enfant par sa mère, est la langue de la découverte de soi et de l’autre, celle de l’éclosion de l’amour, de sa mise au monde dans la joie, la patience, la bonté, la douceur. L’Esprit rend donc capable d’entendre tout ce que l’autre manifeste de l’amour. Il nous apprend à écouter les merveilles de Dieu par la médiation de l’autre. En définitive, la langue maternelle est le langage de l’amour, qui transcende les langages humains et que tous peuvent entendre. Écouter l’autre la parler conduit à construire ensemble un corps d’espérance, et non une communauté « d’espérantistes » Le dimanche de la Pentecôte le 24 mai 2015 Esprit Saint, mets au cœur de tous les croyants du monde l'amour fraternel qui leur permettra de se rencontrer dans un esprit d'échange et de partage au-delà de leurs différences. Que chacun apprenne à découvrir les richesses de l'autre. Esprit Saint, apprends-nous à nous écouter mutuellement avec patience et humilité, pour que chacune de nos rencontres devienne un carrefour où chacun reçoit autant qu'il donne, même si nous venons de chemins très différents. Esprit Saint, donne-nous la force de la foi et rassemble-nous dans une volonté commune d'évangélisation. ''La Bonne Nouvelle est annoncée aux pauvres''. Apprends-nous la joie de la foi, de l'espérance, de l'amour qui transforme le monde et libère tout homme de ses péchés, de ses misères spirituelles ou matérielles. Esprit Saint, fais de chaque baptisé un rayon de ta lumière, pour que le monde du troisième millénaire puisse découvrir ta présence et ton amour. Le monde entier est mon village, l'univers est ma paroisse : pousse chacun vers le grand large, vers la civilisation de l'amour où ce qui nous rassemble nous libérera de ce qui nous divise.
