The Solemnity of Pentecost
On his second book, the Acts of the Apostles, St. Luke gives us a very “detail” account of what took place the day of Pentecost. On chapter 2:1 – 11, he tells us how the power of Holy Spirit was manifested among the apostles and the group of women present at the upper room. It was the Holy Spirt that gave them the courage to go out and to proclaim, Jesus Christ, risen from the dead. Mother Church takes this event the descend of the Holy Spirit, as the birth of our church as we know it. On this great solemnity of Pentecost, I would like to share with you the sequence, Veni, Sancte Spiritus, as one of the most powerful prayers for all followers of Christ: Come, Holy Spirit, come! Where you are not, we have And from your celestial home naught, Shed a ray of light divine! Nothing good in deed or Come, Father of the Poor! thought, Nothing free from taint of ill. Come, source of all our store! Heal our wounds, our strength Come, within our bosoms shine renew; You, of comforters the best; On our dryness pour your dew; You, the soul’s most welcome Wash the stains of guilt away: Guest; Bend the stubborn heart and Will; Sweet refreshment here below; In our labor, rest most sweet; Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Grateful coolness in the heat; Guide the steps that go astray. Solace in the midst of woe. On the faithful, who adore And confess you, evermore. O most blessed Light divine, Shine within these hearts of In your sevenfold gift descend; Yours, Given them virtue’s sure reward; And our inmost being fill! Give them your salvation, Lord Give them joys that never end. Amen. Alleluia/ I wish this were one of the prayers used daily, as we use the Our Father and other personal prayers. Nothing we do makes sense without the grace of the Holy Spirit. |
La Solemnidad de Pentecostés
En su segundo libro, Hechos de los Apóstoles, San Lucas nos narra lo sucedido el día de Pentecostés; específicamente el segundo capítulo nos deleita con los detalles sobre lo sucedido en éste glorioso día, y cómo los apóstoles y el grupo de mujeres que los acompañaban, entre ellas nuestra Santísima Madre, al recibir la fuerza del Espíritu Santo, perdieron todo miedo y salieron a proclamar a Cristo resucitado. La Iglesia ha tomado este evento como la manifestación gloriosa del Espíritu Santo, en donde nace la Iglesia. En este glorioso día de pentecostés, quisiera compartir con ustedes la hermosa Secuencia Veni, Sancte Spiritus, el cual la Iglesia, a través del mundo proclama como una de las oraciones llenas de poder. Ven, Dios Espíritu Santo Sin tu inspiración Y envíanos desde el Cielo divina los hombres nada Tu luz, para iluminarnos podemos y el pecado nos domina. Ven ya, padres de los pobres, Luz que penetra en las almas, Lava nuestras inmundicias, Dador de todos los dones. Fecunda nuestros desiertos Y cura nuestras heridas. Fuente de todo Consuelo, Amable huésped del alma, Doblega nuestra soberbia, Paz en las horas de duelo. calienta nuestra frialdad, Endereza nuestras sendas. Eres pausa en el trabajo; Brisa, en un clima de fuego; Concede a aquellos que ponen Consuelo, en medio del llanto. en ti su fe y su confianza tus siete sagrados dones. Ven, luz santificadora, y entra hasta el fondo del alma Danos virtudes y méritos, de todos los que te adoran.. danos una buena muerte y contigo el gozo eterno. Ojala fuera esta una de las oraciones usadas, a diario, como lo hacemos con el Padre Nuestro y otras oraciones personales. Nada de lo que hagamos tiene sentido sin la gracia del Espíritu Santo. |

PENTECOST SUNDAY
First Reading: Acts 2:1-11 The disciples were celebrating Pentecost together when "tongues of fire appeared which parted, then came to rest on each of them." The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in foreign tongues. Visitors from many different countries were amazed that each guest could hear his or her native language being spoken as the disciples proclaimed God's glory. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 Each person has received different manifestations of the same spirit to contribute to the common good of all. All members of the church have been baptized into one body because of our belief in the Holy Spirit, who was sent to us by God. Gospel: John 20:19-23 Jesus appeared to the disciples even though they had locked the doors in fear. Jesus then showed the disciples his hands and his side; and they rejoiced at his presence. He breathed on them saying "Receive the Holy Spirit." He then gave the disciples the power to forgive others or hold them accountable for their sins. |
DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTÉS
Primera Lectura: Hechos 2:1-11 Los discípulos se reunieron a celebrar la fiesta de Pentecostés cuando se “aparecieron lenguas como de fuego, repartidas sobre cada uno de ellos. Los discípulos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas.” Los visitantes de muchos países diferentes se asombraron a ver que cada convidado hablaba en su propia lengua mientras los discípulos proclamaban la gloria de Dios. Segunda Lectura: 1 Corintios 12:3b-7, 12-13 Cada persona ha recibido diferentes manifestaciones del mismo espíritu para contribuir al bien común de todos. Todos los miembros de la iglesia han sido bautizados en un mismo cuerpo por nuestra creencia en el Espíritu Santo, quien nos fué enviado por Dios. Evangelio: San Juan 20:19-23 Jesús se les apareció a los discípulos a pesar de que ellos habían cerrado las puertas por miedo a los judíos. Jesús les enseñó a los discípulos sus manos y su costado, y ellos se regocijaron en su presencia. Sopló sobre ellos diciendo “Reciban el Espíritu Santo luego les dió a los discípulos el poder de perdonar o no a otros. |
