Pentecost Sunday is one of the most ancient feasts of the Church, celebrated early enough to be mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (20:16) and St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians (16:8). It is the 50th day after Easter (if we count both Easter and Pentecost), and it supplants the Jewish feast of Pentecost, which took place 50 days after the Passover and celebrated the sealing of the Old Covenant on Mount Sinai. That is why Pentecost is often called "the birthday of the Church." On this day, with the descent of the Holy Spirit, Christ's mission is completed, and the New Covenant is inaugurated. It's interesting to note that St. Peter, the first pope, was already the leader and spokesman for the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday. Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God, who hast revealed the fishermen as most wise by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit: through them Thou didst draw the world into Thy net. O Lover of Man, Glory to Thee (Troparion). When the Most High came down and confused the tongues, he divided the nations. But when he distributed the tongues of fire, he called all to unity. Therefore, with one voice, we glorify the All-Holy Spirit! (Kontakion). A Prayer to the Spirit Spirit of Jesus, poured out in flames of fire upon your disciples on the day of Pentecost, we pray to you: Set afire the hearts of your faithful so that they will announce in all the languages of the world the wonders of the salvation of God.

Niedziela Zesłania Ducha Świętego Niedziela Zesłania Ducha Świętego gromadzi nas na Eucharystii, by wysławiać Boga za całe dzieło paschalne Chrystusa. Radujmy się darem zmartwychwstałego Pana, przez który Bóg nieustannie odnawia oblicze ziemi i nasze serca. Prośmy także, aby napełnił nas Duch Święty, byśmy posiedli wszystkie Jego dary, dla dobra Kościoła i świata. Mocą Ducha Świętego dokonuje się przebaczenie grzechów. Dlatego wyznajmy przed Panem swe winy i prośmy o umocnienie dobra. Kiedy słuchamy słowa Bożego, Duch Święty oświeca nasze serca, byśmy wzrastali w wierze. Niech więc Ten, który napełnił serca apostołów i uzdolnił ich do głoszenia Ewangelii, także nas napełni swoim ogniem, byśmy głosili Pana, Jego chwalili swoją modlitwą oraz mogli otrzymać pokój i przebaczenie grzechów. Niech w codziennym życiu umacnia nas Duch Święty, aby wielkanocne dzieło Chrystusa trwało w naszych sercach. Duchu Święty, Duchu Prawdy, przyjdź do naszych serc. Obdarz narody Twoim światłem i Twoją jasnością, aby się zjednoczyły w wierze i znalazły upodobanie w Tobie. Duchu Stwórco, stój nieustannie przy Twoim Kościele. Obdarz go Twoją mocą i siłą, aby oparł się wszystkim wrogim napaściom. Odnów swą łaską ducha sług swoich, których namaściłeś, aby wielbili Imię Ojca i Jego Syna Jednorodzonego.

Peter and Paul before or after the Sunday Masses. *** TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today, the languages of the whole world arise to God in a Pentecost of praise. In some American dioceses, the Mass is offered every Sunday in more than thirty different languages, including the silent praise of American Sign Language. Fifty years ago, the landscape of liturgy was very different. It was grounded firmly in Latin, which is to the present day still the official language of the Roman Rite. Very few people were fluent in Latin, even though in those days Latin was far more widely studied in school. Nevertheless, almost every Catholic was competent in the responses and chants of Latin since it is not difficult to pronounce. The clergy were normally minimally competent in Latin, since much of seminary education was conducted in that language. When the Second Vatican Council was convened, all of the debate and daily work of the council was to be in Latin. In the first session in 1962, Boston's Cardinal Richard Cushing continually complained about it, and threatened not to return in 1963 if something wasn't done. He convinced the fathers when he rose to speak in fairly fluent Latin in an unforgettable Boston twang. The next year, he returned, but with a simultaneous translation system funded by the people of Boston. The ordinary everyday language of the people, the vernacular, had arrived at the Vatican via Boston! George and Maryann Doney 48th Wedding Anniversary Congratula on and God bless.

This week we hear that, while praying in that room, the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Jesus' post-resurrection promise, recounted in today's Gospel, is fulfilled: the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus' followers. Saint Paul tells us that all of us, in some way, are given gifts of the Holy Spirit, gifts that can be used to spread the Good News. Today is one of the Church's greatest festivals. Let us carry the refrain of the responsorial psalm with us throughout the coming week: "Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth!" (Psalm 104:30).
