Sixth Sunday of Easter
May 9, 2021
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose
you and appointed you to go and bear fruit.
— John 15:16
THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We have a unique episode in the Acts of the Apostles
today. A whole roomful of people are bap zed with the
Holy Spirit before they are bap zed with water! The verb
used—“the Holy Spirit ‘fell’ on them” (Acts 10:44)—is SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES
characteris c of the way the Spirit works throughout the Sunday: Sixth Sunday of Easter; Mother’s Day
book of Acts: powerful and surprising. Though this Monday: St. Damien de Veuster; St. John De Avila
“bap sm” is not the norma ve way the New Testament Wednesday: Ss. Nereus and Achilleus; St. Pancras;
describes bap sm, it is s ll a good reminder today that Eid al Fitr (Islamic observance) begins
the Holy Spirit is not controlled by whether or not we at sunset
pour water, but rather that our sacramental signs reveal Thursday: The Ascension of the Lord
the presence of the Spirit at work among us. And we (unless transferred to Sunday);
have a double reinforcement of how this work is otherwise Our Lady of Fa ma
accomplished from a Le er and a Gospel bearing John’s
name. It is love, self-sacrificing and self-giving love, that Friday: St. Ma hias
manifests the Spirit of Jesus in our midst. It is love that is Saturday: St. Isidore; Armed Forces Day
the greatest of commandments. The Spirit is manifested
equally through those who live in that love. FEAST OF FAITH

LA PRESENCIA DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO
Hoy tenemos un episodio único en los Hechos de los
Apóstoles. ¡Un grupo de personas que llena una habitación
es bau zado con el Espíritu Santo antes de que se
bau zaran con agua! La palabra que se usa para describir
el suceso: “el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre ellos” (Hechos LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES
10:44), es caracterís ca de la forma en que el Espíritu obra
en todo el libro de los Hechos: de manera poderosa y Domingo: Sexto Domingo de Pascua; Día de las Madres
sorprendente. Aunque este “bau smo” no es la norma Lunes: San Damián de Veuster; San Juan de Ávila
para describir el bau smo en el Nuevo Testamento, es sin Miércoles: San Nereo y san Aquiles; San Pancracio;
embargo un buen recordatorio de que el Espíritu Santo no Eid al Fit’r (la fiesta musulmana al final de

Ramadán) se celebra al atardecer
nuestros signos sacramentales revelan al Espíritu presente
y obrando entre nosotros. Y tenemos un doble refuerzo de Jueves: La Ascensión del Señor
cómo esta obra se lleva a cabo en la carta y el Evangelio (a menos que sea transferida al domingo);
que llevan el nombre de Juan. Es el amor, el auto sacrificio o Nuestra Señora de Fá ma
y el amor de entrega, que manifiestan al Espíritu de Jesús Viernes: San Ma as
entre nosotros. El amor es el más grande de los
mandamientos. El Espíritu se manifiesta también a través Sábado: San Isidro, labrador; Día de las Fuerzas Armadas
de los que viven en ese amor. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
