And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a vio- lent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Meso- potamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morn- ing. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’” Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. Assembly Thanks be to God. 3 psalm Psalm 104:25–26, 28-32, 35 Peter R. Hallock (1924–2014) The Choir introduces the antiphon, all repeat it. The Choir chants the psalm verses, all repeating the antiphon as indicated. 3 Organ: Everyone: 3 3 Send forth your Spirit, O LORD, and renew the face of the earth. Benedic, anima mea Lord, how manifold are your works! * O in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 30 You hide your face, and they are terrified; * 26 Yonder is the great and wide sea you take away their breath, with its living things too many to number, * and they die and return to their dust. creatures both small and great. 31 You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; * ANTIPHON and so you renew the face of the earth. 28 All of them look to you * ANTIPHON to give them their food in due season. 32 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; * 29 You give it to them; they gather it; * may the Lord rejoice in all his works. you open your hand, 35 May these words of mine please him; * and they are filled with good things. I will rejoice in the Lord. ANTIPHON ANTIPHON reading Romans 8:14–17 ll who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive A a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adop- tion. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. Assembly Thanks be to God. seQuence hymn O Holy Spirit, by whose breath tune: Veni Creator Spiritus stanzas 1, 2, 3: Choir alone ◆ stanzas 4, 5, 6: All sing Choir alone 1.
