Readings: Acts 2: 1-11; 1 Corinthians 12: 3-7. 12-13; John 20: 19-23
Selected Passage: (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained." (John 20: 21-23)
Meditation: Jesus breathed on all of us the Holy Spirit at Baptism. The marks of the Spirit in us and in our community are peace and the forgiveness of sins. Yes, each one and each community born of the Spirit are empowered to forgive sins.
With the Holy Spirit in us, we can unlock the doors that imprison us and break free to share his/her gifts with everyone. We pray to the Holy Spirit to enkindle our hearts the fire of divine love and wisdom that open all horizons and break all borders and frontiers the separate peoples and nations.
