Pentecost Sunday 2010
HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In the solemn celebration of Pentecost we are invited to profess our faith in the presence and in the action of the Holy
Spirit and to invoke his outpouring upon us, upon the Church and upon the whole world. With special intensity, let us make
our own the Church's invocation: Veni, Sancte Spiritus! It is such a simple and spontaneous invocation, yet also extraordi-
narily profound, which came first of all from the heart of Christ. The Spirit is indeed the gift that Jesus asked and continues
to ask of his Father for his friends; the first and principal gift that he obtained for us through his Resurrection and Ascen-
sion into heaven.
Today's Gospel passage, which has the Last Supper as its context, speaks to us of this prayer of Christ. The Lord Jesus
said to his disciples: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he will give you
another Counsellor, to be with you for ever" (Jn 14: 15-16). Here the praying heart of Jesus is revealed to us, his filial and
fraternal heart. This prayer reaches its apex and its fulfilment on the Cross, where Christ's invocation is one with the total
gift that he makes of himself, and thus his prayer becomes, so to speak, the very seal of his self-gift out of love of the Fa-
ther and humanity. Invocation and donation of the Holy Spirit meet, they permeate each other, they become one reality.
"And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor, to be with you for ever". In reality, Jesus' prayers that
of the Last Supper and that on the Cross form a single prayer that continues even in heaven, where Christ sits at the right
hand of the Father. Jesus, in fact, always lives his intercessional priesthood on behalf of the people of God and humanity
and so prays for all of us, asking the Father for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The account of Pentecost in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles we listened to it in the First Reading (cf. Acts 2: 1-11)
presents the "new course" of the work that God began with Christ's Resurrection, a work that involves mankind, history
and the cosmos. The Son of God, dead and Risen and returned to the Father, now breathes with untold energy the divine
breath upon humanity, the Holy Spirit. And what does this new and powerful self-communication of God produce? Where
there are divisions and estrangement the Paraclete creates unity and understanding. The Spirit triggers a process of reuni-
fication of the divided and dispersed parts of the human family. People, often reduced to individuals in competition or in
conflict with each other, when touched by the Spirit of Christ open themselves to the experience of communion, which can
involve them to such an extent as to make of them a new body, a new subject: the Church. This is the effect of God's
work: unity; thus unity is the sign of recognition, the "business card" of the Church throughout her universal history. From
the very beginning, from the Day of Pentecost, she speaks all languages. The universal Church precedes the particular
Churches, and the latter must always conform to the former according to a criterion of unity and universality. The Church
never remains a prisoner within political, racial and cultural confines; she cannot be confused with States nor with Federa-
tions of States, because her unity is of a different type and aspires to transcend every human frontier.
From this, dear brothers, derives a practical criterion for discerning Christian life: when a person or a community limits
itself to its own way of thinking and acting, it is a sign that it has distanced itself from the Holy Spirit. The path of Chris-
tians and of the particular Churches must always coincide with the path of the one, catholic Church, and harmonize with it.
This does not mean that the unity created by the Holy Spirit is a kind of egalitarianism. On the contrary, that is rather the
model of Babel, or in other words, the imposition of a culture characterized by what we could define as "technical" unity.
In fact, the Bible tells us (cf. Gen 11: 1-9) that in Babel everyone spoke the same language. At Pentecost, however, the
Apostles speak different languages in such a way that everyone understands the message in his own tongue. The unity of
the Spirit is manifest in the plurality of understanding. The Church is one and multiple by her nature, destined as she is to
live among all nations, all peoples, and in the most diverse social contexts. She responds to her vocation to be a sign and
instrument of unity of the human race (cf. Lumen gentium, n. 1) only if she remains autonomous from every State and
every specific culture. Always and everywhere the Church must truly be catholic and universal, the house of all in which
each one can find a place.
The account of the Acts of the Apostles offers us another very concrete indication. The universality of the Church is
expressed by the list of peoples according to the ancient tradition: We are "Parthians, Medes, Elamites", etc. Here one may
observe that St Luke goes beyond the number 12, which itself always expresses a universality. He looks beyond the hori-
zons of Asia and northwest Africa, and adds three other elements: the "Romans", that is, the Western world; the "Jews
and proselytes", encompassing in a new way the unity between Israel and the world; and finally "Cretans and Arabians",
who represent the West and the East, islands and land. This opening of horizons subsequently confirms the newness of
Christ in the dimension of human space, in the history of the nations. The Holy Spirit involves individuals and peoples and,
through them, overcomes walls and barriers.
At Pentecost the Holy Spirit is manifest as fire. The Spirit's flame descended upon the assembled disciples, it was kin-
dled in them and gave them the new ardor of God. Thus what Jesus had previously said was fulfilled: "I came to cast fire
upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled!" (Lk 12: 49). The Apostles, together with diverse communities of
the faithful, carried this divine flame to the far corners of the earth. In this way they opened a path for humanity, a lumi-
nous path, and they collaborated with God, who wants to renew the face of the earth with his fire. How different is this fire
from that of war and bombing! How different is the fire of Christ, spread by the Church, compared with those lit by the
dictators of every epoch of the last century too who leave scorched earth behind them. The fire of God, the fire of the Holy
Spirit, is that of the bush that burned but was not consumed (cf. Ex 3: 2). It is a flame that blazes but does not destroy, on
the contrary, that, in burning, brings out the better and truer part of man, as in a fusion it elicits his interior form, his voca-
tion to truth and to love.
Come, Holy Spirit! Enkindle in us the fire of your love!Ron Hammes
