“To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the com-mon good.” (1 Corinthians 12:7)

To receive the gift of the Holy Spirit you must open your heart and invite Him in! Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts, words, and actions every day! Be grateful for all the gifts God has given you! Regardless of our individual circumstances, God has given all of us many blessings. What we do with those gifts is our gift back to God! By generously sharing everything we have and everything we are, we become more “God-centered” and less “self-centered” and our lives truly reflect God’s light, love, and mercy. "A cada uno se le da la manifestación del Espíritu para el bien común". (1 CORINTIOS 12:7)

¡Para recibir el don del Espíritu Santo, debes abrir tu corazón e invitarlo a entrar! ¡Pídele al Espíritu Santo que guíe tus pensa-mientos, palabras y acciones todos los días! ¡Agradece todos los regalos que Dios te ha dado! Independientemente de nues-tras circunstancias individuales, Dios nos ha dado muchas ben-diciones. ¡Lo que hacemos con esos regalos es nuestro regalo a Dios! Al compartir generosamente todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que somos, nos volvemos más "centrados en Dios" y menos "egocéntricos", y nuestras vidas realmente reflejan la luz, el amor y la misericordia de Dios.

There appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. — Acts 2:3

THE RICHNESS OF THE SPIRIT Students, and most adults recalling their school days, are familiar with the phrase “compare and contrast” that shows up from time to time on tests. Today we hear two different accounts of the giving of the Holy Spirit to the church. Let’s contrast, then compare. Luke’s account from Acts is filled with arresting de-tails: the mighty wind from heaven, the tongues of flame, the miracle of different languages. John’s account seems timid: fear-ful disciples, the wounded Christ, the expelling of breath from his risen body, not from the sky. Our literal, modern minds wonder which way it happened; our noisy culture probably makes us pre-fer the former. But if we compare the two, we find that the daz-zling richness of the Spirit fills both accounts, for it is the very breath of the risen Christ, ascended to the sky in Luke, that ap-pears to his disciples in John and sends his followers forth to carry on his mission of forgiving sin and proclaiming the mighty acts of God.

LA RIQUEZA DEL ESPÍRITU Los estudiantes y la mayoría de los adultos que recuerdan sus días de escuela, están familiarizados con la frase “compara y con-trasta” que de tanto en tanto aparece en las pruebas. Hoy escucha-mos dos relatos diferentes sobre la venida del Espíritu. Contraste-mos y luego comparemos. El relato de Lucas en Hechos está lle-no de detalles impresionantes: el viento poderoso, llamas de fue-go como lenguas, el milagro de las diferentes lenguas. El relato de Juan parece tímido: discípulos temerosos, el Cristo llagado, el soplo de aliento viene de su cuerpo resucitado y no del cielo. Mientras nuestras mentes modernas y literales se preguntan de qué manera sucedió; nuestra ruidosa cultura probablemente nos hará preferir el primer relato. Pero si comparamos los dos, la des-lumbrante riqueza del Espíritu llena ambos relatos, ya que es el mismo aliento del Cristo resucitado, ascendido a los cielos en Lucas, el que se aparece a sus discípulos en Juan y envía a sus seguidores a llevar a cabo su misión de perdonar los pecados y proclamar los portentos de Dios.
