PENTECOST / PENTECOSTES
(Acts/Hech 2:1-11; 1Cor 12:3b-7, 12-13; John/Jn 20:19-23)
Scripture Focus
Our readings today give us two accounts of
the Pentecost event. In Luke’s account a noise like
“a driving wind” is heard. In John’s, the Lord
“breathes” upon his disciples. The apostles, even
though they have been gathered together in the
upper room out of fear, are now given the power of
the Holy Spirit, the life-giving heart of the Church.
They arenow to do what Jesus did: forgive sins,
heal divisions, bring about reconciliation and joy to
all. All Christians are commissioned and given
power to carry on this mission.

Enfoque en la Escritura
Las lecturas de hoy nos dan dos relatos de lo
que sucedió en Pentecostés. En el relato de Lucas un
“viento fuerte” se escucha. En el de Juan, el Señor
“sopla” sobre sus discípulos. Los apóstoles, aunque se
habían reunido en el aposento alto por temor, son ahora
dotados del poder del Espíritu Santo, el corazón
vivificante de la iglesia. Ellos ahora también han de
hacer lo que hizo Jesús: perdonar pecados, sanar
divisiones, traer la reconciliación y el gozo a todos.
Todos los cristianos han recibido la comisión y se les ha
dado el poder de llevar a cabo esta misión.
