May they experience God s healing love and June 9, 2019 Pentecost By Joan DeMerchant INTRODUCTION The early Christian community knew that Jesus and the lifegiving Spirit were with them. That conviction sustained and empowered them to deal with unimaginable challenges. We are given the same presence, peace and forgiveness when we come together, and we are called today to pass that on to others. What signs of this presence do we experience? How do we express it to others? PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Let us pray for the Spirit to continue to renew the face of the Earth. For the church, may it rise above problems, scandals and power struggles and be an unambiguous sign of the Spirit s presence for the world, we pray: For those who have been clear signs of God s peace, presence and forgiveness, for leaders, teachers, healers, pastors and ordinary faithful disciples, we pray: For those who touch us today in ways known only to us, who bring love and peace, clarity and forgiveness, sustenance and hope, we pray: For those who use wealth, power or notoriety as false claims of the Spirit s presence; and for those who denigrate the small, but powerful ways in which the Spirit touches lives, we pray: For those who feel abandoned by God refugees, the poor, forgotten, lonely and disenfranchised; for all who suffer, may they know that God hears their distress and holds them close, we pray: In gratitude for the many gifts bestowed on this community, and for the courage to offer our own gifts for the good of others, we pray: PRAYER: Gracious God of life, we are ever in need of renewal as individuals, as a church and as a human community. Open us to the Spirit s power. May we recognize and employ the gifts you have given each of us to help renew the face of the Earth. We ask this boldly in the name of Jesus, who sends us forth. Amen.

5 Eu enviarei sobre vós aquele que meu Pai prometeu. Por isso, permanecei na cidade, até que sejais revestidos da força do alto'.. Reflexão sobre a Ascenção do Senhor - (Ano C): At 1,1-11; Sl 46(47); Ef 1,17-23; Lc 24, No relato de Lucas, a paixão e a ressurreição desembocam na pregação apostólica, universal, começando por Jerusalém. Como nos Atos dos Apóstolos, Jesus chama os discípulos de testemunhas, e afirma que serão diante de todos os povos. O objeto do anúncio é a conversão e o perdão dos pecados. Para sustentar essa missão de testemunhas, Jesus lhes promete o Espírito. Pede que os discípulos fiquem na cidade até serem revestidos da força do alto, o que de fato aconteceu no dia de pentecostes. A fecundidade de Maria, como a da Igreja, provém do alto. A glorificação de Jesus se expressa no símbolo espacial de ser levado ao céu. Indica a ação do Pai que o leva. Jesus se despede abençoando. A obra de Jesus acabou, mas inicia-se a dos discípulos em sua missão pelo mundo, sob a sua benção. Os discípulos se prostram diante de Jesus, num gesto claramente litúrgico. Jesus não retornou sozinho à casa do Pai. Levou consigo a humanidade que ele redimiu pelo seu sangue. São Leão Magno, numa de suas homilias sobre esta festa, lembra que, no mistério da ascenção de nosso Senhor, a nossa humilhada natureza foi arrebatada acima de todas as obras da criação, até assentar-se junto de Deus Pai. Por ora, temos o Encargo de dar testemunho do seu Evangelho com a palavra e com a vida. Na celebração litúrgica, como os apóstolos, adoramos o Senhor e, na alegria pascal, esperamos o Espírito de pentecostes. Rezemos para que haja uma unidade visível entre as Igrejas e uma comunhão real entre todas as religiões e crenças, para que o mundo creia. Oração Ó Deus de ternura, a ascensão do teu Filho aos céus é certeza de vitória da humanidade contra todo mal e injustiça. Faze-nos, pois, vibrar de alegria e fervorosa ação de graças, para que, membros do seu corpo, possamos cumprir a missão que de ti recebemos e participar com ele da força da sua ressurreição. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém.
