THE DAY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT John's Gospel tells us that when Jesus "breathed" on the disciples, the Holy Spirit came into them, empowering them to forgive sins and to gather all people into union with one another. The book of Genesis had explained the divisions among nations with the story of the Tower of Babel. In rebellious pride, human beings had struggled to become equal to God. The result was chaos, strife, the inability even to speak the same language among themselves. Today's

reading from Acts tells how the Spirit has just the opposite effect. Strangers from many nations hear and understand one another, each in his or her own tongue. This message of unity in the Spirit is repeated in the reading from Corinthians. There are many gifts, many ways to serve. One way is not "higher," nor one person "better" than another. There is but one Spirit, who accomplishes all the different works we do, acting through us. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today we are at the fiftieth day of the Easter celebration: seven weeks of seven days, a week of weeks, now culminating in a festival fiftieth day. While the liturgical color of the Easter season is gold, on this last day we have red. For the first thousand years of the church, there were no firm rules for using colors. Only wealthy churches could afford a full array of colors, and most places used the best vestments, no matter the color, for the greatest feasts. The Church spelled out an exact plan for color, including red for Pentecost, only in 1570, but local differences held on until the 1800s. Color experts tell us that red is a hot color, best used for fast-paced, upbeat, active experiences. It is hard to be neutral before red, as any matador will tell you. It invites commitment, draws you in. It is a stimulating color, engaging the eye, stirring hunger. It is the most fitting color for this day when we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit into our lives, a dynamic presence overturning neutrality in favor of passion and commitment. --James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Domingo de Pentecostés 19 de mayo de 2013

Hemos sido bautizados en un mismo Espíritu para formar un solo cuerpo.

— 1 Corintios 12:13a

Domingo 19 De Mayo. Domingo de Pentecostés. Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios. Para nosotros, invocar el Espíritu Santo significa pedir luz para tomar una decisión, fortaleza para enfrentar una situación, paz para asumir lo que nos toca vivir. Todo eso está muy bien, pues definitivamente el Espíritu Santo ilumina, fortalece y nos brinda el gozo y la paz que Dios da. Sin embargo, no hemos de olvidar que el Espíritu Santo nos fue dado para “continuar la obra de Cristo entre nosotros”.

¿Qué significa esto en nuestras vidas? Significa que estamos llamados no sólo a “no hacer nada malo” sino a comprometernos con nuestro entorno y hacer algo cuando sucedan situaciones de maldad, de injusticia o de muerte. Como comprometidos en matrimonio, por ejemplo, el Espíritu nos conduce no sólo a permanecer unidos en fidelidad, sino a dar frutos: en los hijos, en la comunidad y en la sociedad. Este Espíritu no nos fue dado para quedarnos con él sino para compartirlo, para darlo; para salir de nuestro encierro, dejando nuestros temores a un lado y empezar a anunciar y compartir, incluso con nuestra vida, el amor de Dios que nos desborda.

Sin embargo, el primer obstáculo que se nos presenta para realizar esto es que muchas veces no hemos vivido esa experiencia de claridad y de fortaleza que impulsó a los apóstoles a salir de su incertidumbre y predicar a Cristo. Por eso, nos es difícil imaginar cómo vamos a salir a compartir nuestra fe, el amor y el perdón que Dios nos ha dado. Pentecostés no es sólo un “dogma” que tenga que ser creído para empezarlo a vivir. Pentecostés es una experiencia que nos transforma y nos impulsa a compartir todo aquello que hemos recibido de Dios. ¿Se imaginan ustedes lo que significó comenzar la construcción de la comunidad para los apóstoles? ¿Ustedes creen que cuando Pedro predicó por primera vez pensaba que de ahí iba a brotar una Iglesia que dos mil años después sigue viva? Yo creo que no, más bien, creo que Pedro compartió todo lo que tenía, movido por el Espíritu y confiado en la presencia de Jesucristo. Hay veces que podríamos pensar que hay situaciones que jamás cambiarán, pero si el Espíritu Santo nos mueve a luchar para que estas cambien, no tengamos miedo, hagámoslo confiados en la presencia de Cristo y de su Espíritu que son quienes verdaderamente construyen el Reino de Dios entre nosotros.

Pidámosle a Dios nos conceda la experiencia de su Espíritu o tal vez la renovación de esa experiencia, para que podamos salir de nosotros mismos y perder el miedo de compartir nuestra fe en el trabajo, con nuestro círculo de amigos o incluso dentro de nuestra comunidad, dentro de la misma familia. P. Jairo

Para orar con el Espíritu Santo Desde lo hondo te invoco, Señor, y te pido

Envía tu Espíritu sobre mi fragilidad, envía tu Espíritu sobre mi cansancio, envía tu Espíritu sobre mi pobreza, envía tu Espíritu sobre mis contradicciones, envía tu Espíritu sobre mis luchas, envía tu Espíritu sobre mi impaciencia, envía tu Espíritu sobre mi falta de fe... Envía sí, Señor, tu Espíritu, que remueva en mí todo lo que no es espiritual y haga de mi corazón una casa donde puedas morar, hoy y siempre, junto con tu Hijo, el Resucitado de entre los muertos, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

Recuerde en la Misa del domingo de el Día de los Padres a sus seres queridos-tanto los que están junto a ustedes como los que ya fallecieron. Escriba sus nombres en el sobre y deposítelo en la cesta de la colecta. Cualquier donación será gratamente aceptada. Estos sobres están en la entrada de la iglesia y en los bancos. También están disponibles en la Oficina Parroquial durante la semana.

DIALOGO MATRIMONIAL “MDS”

Hoy más que nunca necesitamos familias que den testimonio de luchar por vivir valores Cristianos: Perdón, Respeto, Comunicación, Confianza, Solidaridad, Caridad…..

Te invitamos a que compartas con nosotros, todos los viernes a las 7:30 p.m. en el Salón St. Francis, para que juntos luchemos por cambiar las actitudes que dañan la relación con nuestra pareja, con nuestros hijos y con los demás; y así tratar de ser el mejor matrimonio que se pueda ser.

“No es necesario cambiar de Pareja, sino de actitud”.

Para más información llamar a: Dante y Lecy Sánchez al 813-787-0738 y 813-850-4526 o Werther y Tomasina Taylor al 813-598-5216 y 813-598-5226.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Hoy celebramos la Pascua de Pentecostés. Esta es una de las tres Pascuas que celebramos los cristianos. Las otras dos son la Pascua de Resurrección (o Pascua Florida) y la Pascua del Nacimiento de Jesús. Estas tres solemnidades cristianas celebran tres momentos claves en el plan de salvación: la Encarnación del Verbo Divino (Jesús), su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección y el descenso de su Espíritu Santo sobre la Iglesia. Pascua viene siendo el nombre de la principal solemnidad del calendario Judío y recuerda la liberación del pueblo de Israel de la esclavitud. Los cristianos hemos tomado ese nombre por reconocernos como descendientes de Abraham y porque en nuestras tres pascuas celebramos que Jesús viene a salvarnos, o sea, a liberarnos del pecado y sus consecuencias tanto personales como sociales. En muchas partes el titulo de Pascua se ha dejado para hablar de la Fiesta de la Navidad y la Fiesta de Pentecostés. Esto es una lástima ya que el recordar la Pascua debe impulsar al cristiano a obrar por la liberación de todos para que el mundo se salve por Jesucristo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

VEN A NOSOTROS, ESPÍRITU DE SANTIDAD Espíritu Santo, Tú desvaneces el temor de nuestro corazón; eres testigo en nosotros de que somos hijos de Dios; a ti acudimos: Remueve de nuestro corazón el Espíritu de esclavos; danos el Espíritu de hijos adoptados para que podamos llamar, “¡Abba, Padre!”
