Pentecost Sunday May 19, 2013
Feast of Pentecost Celeste Mueller, D.Min
Since they have an active role to play in the whole life of the Church, lay people are
not only bound to penetrate the world with a Christian spirit, but are also called to
be witnesses to Christ in all things in the midst of human society. (GS 43)
When we hear the stories of the Spirit poured out on the disciples on
Pentecost, do we recall that the Spirit—the fullness of God’s own self—has already
been poured into each of us at our Baptism?
When we imagine the anointing with fire that the disciples experienced, do
the embers of our own hearts kindle and burn more brightly?
When we consider with wonder that the crowds could hear and
understand the preaching of the disciples in their own tongues, do we realize that
our openness to the action of the Spirit in us is visible and understandable to
others far more powerfully than any words we might use to communicate our
faith?
The gifts given in Pentecost are given to us—wisdom, understanding,
knowledge, counsel, fortitude, holiness and awe—in wondrous diversity. They
unite us in one Spirit, and equip us to cooperate with the Spirit in renewing the
face of the earth. The Spirit enables us to live fully the call that we have heard
each Sunday of this Easter season in the words of Gaudium et spes inviting us to
be God’s instruments of transformation: penetrating the whole world with a
Christian Spirit and being witnesses to Christ in all things!
PRACTICE
♦ Rejoice in awe at the astounding gift of God power and presence in each of us
♦ Trust that gift in yourself; to each the gift is given for some service!
♦ Take inventory of the “worlds” you occupy in family, community,
neighborhood, work, church, society. Notice where your witness is needed.
Pray that the Spirit will enter those places of need as much through the
authenticity of your being as through the good deeds you may do.
Be especially attentive to notice and call out the gifts of the Spirit in those you
meet, especially in those we serve at St. Vincent’s who live in poverty and
vulnerability and may not be able to see the gift in themselves. To EACH the Spirit
is given for some service!

ACA Awards $20,000 Grant to St. Vincent’s
Our parish’s support of the 2012 Annual Catholic Appeal was an important factor in recently being awarded a $20,000 grant to finish the tuckpointing of the church. Thanks to all of you who participated. Now it is time to make your pledge to the 2013 ACA, which kicks off at St. Vincent’s this weekend, May 18th-19th and runs through June 1st-2nd. Our goal is 100% participation, even if you can only give a small amount. In addition to directly benefitting St. Vincent’s, the ACA supports homeless services, parish food pantries, emergency assistance, senior citizens and Catholic education, including St. Frances Cabrini Academy. Please look for your pledge cards in the back of church. Your participation makes a difference.

Gaudium et spes:
“The Church has always had the duty of scrutinizing
the signs of the times and of interpreting them in the
light of the Gospel. Thus, in language intelligible to
each generation, she can respond to the perennial
questions which people ask about this present life
and the life to come, and about the relationship of
the one to the other. We must therefore recognize
and understand the world in which we live.” (GS #4)
What do you identify as the “signs of the times”?
When you scrutinize the signs of the times do you
tend to hope or to wring your hands?
How can we support one another with faith and
courage so that together we can confront the world
in which we live—neither condemning it, nor
embracing it blindly—and discover in the light of the
gospel the hope and possibilities it holds.
Remember to support our advertisers on the back of
our bulletin!
