Pentecost Sunday

St. Joseph Catholic Church, 7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois

“Christians observe Pentecost Sunday as a celebration of God as the Trinity: three divine Persons living eternally in perfect unity: Father,

Son, and Holy Spirit.”

Descent of the Holy Spirit by Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1779)

Informes del Padre Bob

Hoy celebramos la solemnidad de Pentecostés, el Descenso del Espíritu Santo. El Santo Papa León el Grande enseña: “los corazones de todos los católicos, amados, se dan cuenta de que la solemnidad de hoy http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14133a.htm debe ser honrada como una de las principales fiestas y no hay cualquier duda de que se debe un gran respeto a este día, que el Espíritu Santo ha santificado por el milagro de su regalo más excelente. Porque desde el día en que el Señor ascendió por encima de todas las alturas celestiales para sentarse a la diestra de Dios el Padre, esta es la décima que ha brillado, y la quincuagésima parte de su resurrección ". Así, la Iglesia celebra Pentecostés cincuenta días después de la Resurrección porque el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre la Iglesia primitiva cincuenta días después de la Pascua y diez días después de la Ascensión. Para ayudarnos a reflexionar sobre el Misterio de Pentecostés, seleccioné una pintura titulada El Descenso del Espíritu Santo de Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1779). Esta pintura de Mengs retrata maravillosamente la Santísima Trinidad en Pentecostés. Los cristianos observan el domingo de Pentecostés como una celebración de Dios como la Trinidad: tres Personas divinas que viven eternamente en perfecta unidad: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. En Juan 14, escuchamos a nuestro Señor decirle a sus discípulos: “Le pediré al Padre y él le dará otro defensor para que esté con usted siempre. Te lo he dicho mientras estoy contigo. El Defensor, el Espíritu Santo que el Padre enviará en mi nombre, le enseñará todo y le recordará todo lo que le dije. "En esta pintura de Mengs, vemos las palabras de nuestro Señor en el Evangelio de Juan bellamente ilustrado. Vemos a Dios Padre en la cima de la escena, con Jesús sentado a la diestra del Padre. Nuestro Señor le pide al Padre que envíe al defensor. En esta hermosa imagen, vemos a Dios Padre con su mano derecha levantada, enviando el Espíritu Santo. Vemos al Espíritu Santo, la Tercera Persona de la Santísima Trinidad, en forma de paloma blanca, que desciende del Padre y del Hijo sobre la Madre Santísima, San Pedro y los discípulos. La pintura enseña visualmente nuestra fe católica de que el Espíritu Santo es el Espíritu del Padre y del Hijo. El Espíritu Santo es el amor que se comparte entre Dios el Padre y Dios el Hijo. Esta es quizás la manera más útil de pensar sobre lo que Espíritu Santo “es”. El Espíritu Santo es el amor. Compartidos entre Dios Padre y Dios Hijo. El Espíritu Santo es un don del Padre y del Hijo que permite y fomenta una relación entre el creyente y Dios. El Espíritu Santo es la presencia de Dios y el amor que se vierte en nuestra alma. Este es un regalo increíble y la realidad. Recibir el Espíritu Santo significa que usted recibe el mismo amor que se comparte entre Dios el Padre y Dios el Hijo. El Espíritu Santo te da la relación que Cristo tiene con su Padre Celestial. ¡El mismo Espíritu Santo que llena el cielo ahora llena la tierra! El mismo Espíritu Santo que llenó a los apóstoles en Pentecostés viene aquí en esta iglesia en Pentecostés. ¡Ven, Espíritu Santo, llena los corazones de tus fieles y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor! ¡Nuestro carnaval anual parroquial ha llegado y se ha ido! Gracias a todos nuestros voluntarios y a todos los que ayudaron durante el carnaval de la parroquia. Gracias a nuestros patrocinadores. Gracias a todos los que vinieron y apoyaron el carnaval de nuestra parroquia. Fue una experiencia segura y divertida para nuestra comunidad. Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre del Buen Consejo, nos ayude con su cuidado maternal y que San José ruegue por nosotros. Vivat Jesus! ¡Viva Jesús!

Przypada dzisiaj uroczystość Pięćdziesiątnicy – dzień Zesłania Ducha Świętego. Święty Leon Wielki naucza, że dzień ten (opisany tutaj, po angielsku: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14133a.htm ), uświęcony mocą Darów Ducha Świętego, powinien być celebrowany jako jedno z głównych świąt chrześcijańskich. Nie ma też wątpliwości, iż ten pięćdziesiąty dzień od Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego zasługuje na naszą szczególną cześć. Kościół celebruje Święto Zesłania właśnie dzisiaj, bo mija 50 dni od Wielkiej Nocy i 10 dni od Wniebowstąpienia. Aby wspomóc nasze rozważania w temacie Misterium Zesłania, wybrałem obraz pędzla Antona Raphaela Mengsa (1728-1779), pod tytułem: „Zesłanie Ducha Świętego”. Dzieło Mengsa wspaniale ukazuje Trójcę Świętą w Dniu Zesłania. Dla chrześcijan, Dzień Zesłania jest świętem Boga w Trójcy Świętej – Trzech Osób Boskich, żyjących wiecznie i w doskonałej harmonii: Bóg Ojciec, Syn Boży oraz Duch Święty. W czternastym rozdziale Ewangelii według Jana, Pan mówi uczniom: „Ja zaś będę prosił Ojca, a innego Pocieszyciela da wam, aby z wami był na zawsze – Ducha Prawdy, którego świat przyjąć nie może, ponieważ Go nie widzi ani nie zna. Ale wy Go znacie, ponieważ u was przebywa i w was będzie (...). To wam powiedziałem przebywając wśród was. A Pocieszyciel, Duch Święty, którego Ojciec pośle w moim imieniu, On was wszystkiego nauczy i przypomni wam wszystko, co Ja wam powiedziałem”. Wspaniały obraz Mengsa stanowi piękną ilustrację tego fragmentu. Na jego szczycie znajduje się Bóg Ojciec, a po prawicy Ojca siedzi Jezus. Pan prosi Ojca o wysłanie Pocieszyciela. Widzimy tu Boga Ojca z uniesioną prawą ręką, posyłającego Ducha Świętego. Widzimy Ducha Świętego: Trzecią Osobę Trójcy, zstępującego pod postacią białej gołębicy, na Najświętszą Maryję, świętego Piotra oraz uczniów. Obraz Mengsa wizualnie uczy nas prawdy o tym, że Duch Święty pochodzi i od Ojca i od Syna. Duch Święty uosabia miłość istniejącą między Bogiem Ojcem a Synem Bożym. To jest chyba najlepsze wyjaśnienie natury Ducha Świętego. Duch Święty jest darem Ojca i Syna, umożliwiającym zacieśnienie więzi między Bogiem a wiernymi. Duch Święty to Boża obecność oraz Jego Miłosierdzie, wlane prosto do naszych serc. Jest to niesamowity dar. Otrzymać Ducha Świętego oznacza otrzymać taką samą miłość, jaka istnieje pomiędzy Bogiem Ojcem a Synem Bożym. Dzięki Duchowi Świętemu, otrzymujesz taką więź z Bogiem, jaką ma z Nim Chrystus. Ten sam Duch Święty, Który wypełnia niebiosa, wypełnia także ziemię! Ten sam Duch Święty, Który zstąpił na Apostołów w trakcie tamtej Pięćdziesiątnicy, teraz zstępuje na nas, w tym kościele! „O Stworzycielu Duchu, przyjdź! Nawiedź dusz wiernych Tobie krąg. Niebieską łaskę zesłać racz, sercom, co dziełem są Twych rąk...”. Nasz coroczny Karnawał parafialny szybko się zaczął i równie szybko skończył. Bóg Zapłać naszym sponsorom oraz wszystkim, którzy przyszli i wzięli udział w tym bezpiecznym, radosnym wydarzeniu. Święta Maryjo, Matko Nieustającej Pomocy, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za nami.

Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi! FR. BOB’SFr. BRIEFS Bob’s Briefs We are back where we started. Do you remember? Five weeks ago, we began reading through Jesus’ Bread of Life Discourse in the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John.
