Reflections

May 31, , 2020

PASTOR JOHN PAUL ECHERT

WOULD YOU DIE FOR PENTECOST? "When the day of Pentecost came it found them gathered

in one place." —Acts 2:1

Father Otto Rauschenbach, a Maryknoll missionary in South China,

was killed by bandits on May 14, 1945. Because of the war, Father

Otto had to hide in the mountains. He knew that if he came out of

hiding, he was risking his life. Yet Father wanted to celebrate

Pentecost with his people so he tried to return to his parish (cf Lk

22:15). However, he was murdered before he got to his parish and

before he could celebrate Pentecost Mass.

Would you risk your life to celebrate Pentecost? Do you believe

that a new Pentecost is so essential for your life that you would

die for it? Pentecost is essential because, without the Holy Spirit of

Pentecost, we:

• will not be united (see Gn 11:7ff; Acts 2:8ff) and the world will

not believe in Jesus (Jn 17:21),

• will not prophesy, that is, we will not receive messages from

God (Jl 3:1; Acts 2:17-18),

• will not pray as we ought (Rm 8:26),

• will not have the power to witness for Jesus (Acts 1:8),

• cannot say: "Jesus is Lord" (1 Cor 12:3),

• cannot please God (Rm 8:8), and

• will not have the Spirit's gifts or fruit (1 Cor 12:4ff; Gal 5:22ff).

• We need Pentecost and we need a new Pentecost now.

"Receive the Holy Spirit" (Jn 20:22).

Prayer: "Come, Holy Spirit, come! And from Your celestial home

shed a ray of light divine! Come, Father of the

poor! Come, Source of all our store! Come,

within our bosoms shine!" (Pentecost sequence)

Promise: "All of us have been given to drink

of the one Spirit." —1 Cor 12:13

Praise: Praise You, Holy Spirit, for renewing

the face of the earth! (Ps 104:30)

Pentecost Sunday

We Welcome the Newly Confirmed! A special thanks to

Father Echert who Confirmed our students on Wednesday

5/27/2020.

May the Holy Spirit be a source of strength and guidance

throughout their lives.
