Pentecost Sunday
Teach and Remind
I'm not very good at telling jokes. I like them, but after I hear one and laugh at it, I let it go and forget it. I
suspect this doesn't just apply to jokes. The Gospel today hints that the disciples may have had the same
weakness when Jesus says the Spirit will "teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you" (John
14:26).
Jesus spent three years teaching his disciples about the kingdom of God. While he may have condensed his
message to "Love God . . . and love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:30-31), he spent most of his time
showing them how much God loves them and how to love their neighbor. He used parables as examples and
miracles as signs of the Father's love. He answered their questions and explained things privately. Knowing
that this would still not be enough, he promised to send the Spirit after he had risen. He seems to have
known that sometimes you just can't learn by listening. You have to experience some things to understand
them. Sometimes you have to explain something to someone else before you understand it yourself. And
that is what the disciples would do.
When they received the Spirit after Jesus' resurrection, they began to talk about Jesus to anyone who would
listen. They also began to do the things Jesus talked about. They fed the poor and healed the sick. Thus
they began to experience Jesus in those around them. They would remember what Jesus had taught them
and apply it in their lives. They even accepted suffering for their faith.
We too can receive that promise from Jesus to have the Spirit teach and remind us. As we share our faith
with others, we begin to experience Jesus in them. Just talking about our faith helps it to grow. As we listen
to the Lord in prayer, we are reminded of passages in the Bible that we have read or heard from the altar on
Sunday. We begin to understand how they apply in our lives. We may remember things that seemed to be
very bad but turned out to be God's plan--maybe losing a job, only to find a better one; or moving away
from friends, only to make new friends later. May the Holy Spirit teach and remind us of the signs of God's
love.

Jn 16:12-15
Reconciled diversity illumines Pentecost and fills this Jubilee
Year of Mercy. Locked doors fly open as Pentecost's Spirit
sends forth once-frightened disciples to share Jesus' gospel in
countless languages, uni ng crowds of divergent--some mes
hos le--na onali es into one newborn community filled with
peace. Paul exhorts the Corinthians, and us, to celebrate our
differences, for gi s of the same Spirit build our diversity into
Jesus' one body. Paul bids the Romans, and us, to embrace life
bestowed by "the Spirit of adop on, through whom we cry,
'Abba, Father!' " In today's tradi onal Gospel, Jesus sends forth
previously frightened disciples, and us, to love others as Jesus
loves us. So Pope Francis sees Pentecost's Spirit, in this Jubilee
Year of Mercy, summoning us afresh from past mediocrity and
selfish isola on to share God's mercy enthusias cally and generously. The alterna ve Gospel declares keeping Jesus' commandments not a mindless obliga on but a loving choice, closing Easter Time with Jesus' enduring promise of the Pentecost
Spirit's abiding presence: that Spirit "will teach you everything
and remind you of all I told you."
THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The church wakes up to an amazing message this morning.
Look around and see who has been called. Listen to the voices
of those who proclaim Jesus is Lord. You'll find no race of people le out; you'll find no language on earth unfit to proclaim
the glory of God. We call Pentecost Sunday the "birthday of
the church." In many ways, the church is s ll being born. Only
when we all know the peace Jesus offered in today's Gospel
will we really know the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
St. Paul assures us in today's second reading that "all of us
have been given to drink of the one
Spirit." When we look around us in the church we should see
everyone. But we don't. Not yet. What is holding us back from
fully embracing the one Body of Christ? When will we see our
differences as manifesta ons of the same Holy Spirit?
