Jesus Christ appears to the disciples and sends them on their mission with the
power to forgive or retain sins through the Holy Spirit.
(John 20:19-23)
Pentecost Sunday
Fifty days ago, we celebrated the great feast of Easter. Jesus rose from the dead and made many appearances with his
disciples. He took away their fear and gave them the courage to be his followers. He promised he would always be
with them. A few days after that promise, they witness his Ascension into heaven. What do they do? Once again,
they become afraid and lock themselves in the upper room.
As he promised though He sends His Spirit and we hear of that in the first reading today. The Spirit comes upon the
disciples, they lose their fear and they go out and courageously proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord. People from all over
were present and the disciples were understood by all no matter what their native language. As we know, this was the
birth day of the Church. Some three thousand were joined that day.
Most of us have been baptized and confirmed. We have received the Holy Spirit and the seven gifts of wisdom,
understanding, counsel (we judge best how we should act), fortitude (we have strength to follow through on what we
know is right course of action), knowledge, piety (willingness to worship and serve God out of love not just duty), and
wonder and awe (we recognize the greatness of God and can hardly take it all in). But have we allowed the Holy
Spirit to work in us and make these gifts active in our lives?
St. Paul reminds us today that there are many gifts and forms of service but they are all rooted in the same Spirit. We
are all one in Christ. We all have a part to play in the Body of Christ. We should never compare ourselves to another
and think we don't belong to the church or we are not holy or good enough. The Spirit works in each one of us for the
good of all. We just have to be willing to work with the Spirit in us.
