"The Word Among Us" Reflection for the Feast of Pentecost

MEDITATION: ACTS 2:1-11

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:4)

Just how big was that “all”? Well, Luke tells that “about one hundred and twenty persons” were together the day the apostles chose Matthias to replace Judas (Acts 1:15). It’s quite possible that many of them had joined the apostles to celebrate the Jewish feast of Pentecost as well. So those “all” who had gathered that day probably included people like Mary Magdalene, along with some of the other women who went to Jesus’ tomb on Easter Sunday. You can also imagine Simon the Cyrenian being there, along with his sons, Alexander and Rufus (Mark 15:21). And what about Zacchaeus or Lazarus and Martha and Mary? Maybe Stephen and the other future deacons were there, along with people whose names have been lost to history. Whoever was there, Luke tells us that they all received the same gift of the Holy Spirit. They all began speaking in tongues. And they all found new courage and boldness to speak “of the mighty acts of God” (Acts 2:11). You know where this is going, right? God gives the same Spirit that filled Peter and the apostles to everyone who asks. That includes you, your family, your friends, even your enemies. God doesn’t restrict his blessings to a chosen few. He wants to fill everyone! Try something different at Mass today. Whether you’re gathered with fellow parishioners in your church or joining others online, imagine what it would be like if the Spirit fell on all of you during the liturgy. What would it look like for all of those present—including you—to experience the Holy Spirit in the same way the disciples did? Or to be so filled with joy that all burst out in praise of the Lord? Or to experience God’s love in a deep, intimate way? In fact, don’t just imagine it. Pray for it!

“Come, Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of your people!”
