READINGS OF
SEND OUT YOUR SPIRIT
THE WEEK
Last week we heard that, following
the Ascension, the disciples, Mary,
and other followers of the Lord retreated to the upper room in prayer. This week we hear that, while
praying in that room, the Holy
Spirit comes upon them. Jesus' postResurrection promise, recounted in
today's Gospel, is fulfilled: the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon
Jesus' followers. Saint Paul tells us
that all ofus, in some way, are given gifts of the Holy Spirit, gifts that can be used to spread the
Good News. Today is one of the Church's greatest festivals. Let us
carry the refrain of the responsorial psalm with us throughout the
coming week: "Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of
the earth!" (Psalm 104:30). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

ENVIA TU ESPIRITU
La semana pasada oimos que
despues de la Ascension, los discipulos, Maria y otros seguidores del
Sefior se retiraron al piso alto donde
perseveraron unanimes en la
oraci6n. Esta semana escuchamos
que, mientras estaban en oraci6n
alli, el Espiritu Santo vino sabre ellos.
La promesa de Jesus, luego de su
Resurrecci6n que el Evangelia de hoy
relata, se cumple: el poder del Espiritu Santo viene sabre los seguidores
de Jesus. San Pablo nos dice que a todos nosotros, de alguna
manera, se nos dan los dones del Espiritu Santo, dones que se
pueden usar para anunciar la Buena Nueva. Hoy es una de las
mas grandes fiestas de la Iglesia. Llevemos con nosotros el estribillo del salmo responsorial: "jEnvia tu Espiritu, Sefior, y repuebla la faz de la tierra!" (Salmo 104:30). Copyright © J. S. Paluch

What is Pentecost?
THE CHURCH’S BIRTHDAY
We're all familiar
with our own birthdays;
but did you know you
have a second birthday?
Because you are
part of the body of the
Church, Pentecost is the
Church's birthday, and
yours as well. And like
any birthday, it's a cause
for celebration.
The word Pentecost is Greek and it means
"50th day." Fifty days after Easter Sunday, we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and their followers, and the beginning of their
earthly ministry to make disciples of all nations.
At the first Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came
upon these people and each began to speak in
tongues. Despite the fact many had no common
language, they were perfectly able to understand
one another.
But others, accused those speaking in
tongues of being drunk. Peter arose and addressed
the crowd, explaining that it was only 9 o'clock, and
that this phenomenon was not intoxication, but rather this was the work of the Holy Spirit, prophesied
in the scripture.
He called all those present to be baptized
and about three thousand people were baptized
that day.
These people were among the first Catholics,
and Peter is the first pope of the Catholic Church.
The symbols of Pentecost are the flame,
wind, and the dove, which represents the Holy Spirit. The color of Pentecost is red and the priest wears
red vestments on this day.
Parishioners are also invited to wear red on
this day. Red decorations as well as celebrations are
appropriate, similar to any other birthday.

TREASURES
FROM
OUR TRADITION
Today, the languages of the whole world arise to God in a Pentecost of praise. In some American dioceses, the Mass is offered every Sunday in more than thirty different languages, including the silent praise of

American Sign Language. Fifty years ago, the landscape of liturgy was

very different. It was grounded firmly in Latin, which is to the present day
still the official language of the Roman Rite. Very few people were fluent
at St. Catherine's
in Latin, even though in those days Latin was far more widely studied in
school. Nevertheless, almost every Catholic was competent in the responsSunday, June 11, 2017

were normally minimally competent in Latin, since much of seminary edAll Are Welcomed

When the Second Vatican Council was convened, all of the debate
and daily work of the council was to be in Latin. In the first session in 1962,
Boston’s Cardinal Richard Cushing continually complained about it, and
