Readings Reflection                      From the Pastor/Rector
                                  Brothers & Sisters,

                                  With today’s great Solemnity of Pentecost, we have
                                  completed our journey throughout the Easter Season.
                                  Today we mystically commemorate the descent of the
                                  Holy Spirit upon the Twelve, an event that transformed
                                  them from being simple disciples of Jesus Christ and
                                  into Apostles. No longer were they only those who
                                  learned about the Kingdom of Heaven at the feet of
                                  the Son of God, but now they were those sent (the
                                  Greek word that gives us apostle means “to send”) to
                                  preach the Gospel, the Good News of the Kingdom.
                                  Prior to Pentecost, they had been instructed to stay in
                                  Jerusalem, but with the coming of the Spirit, they were
                                  sent to preach in Jerusalem, Judea, and ultimately the
                                  whole world.

                                  This year, Pentecost is for us what it was for the
                                  Apostles. Pentecost corresponds roughly to that time
                                  when we, who have been ordered to stay in our homes,
                                  can begin to go out into the world again. Through this
                                  time of challenge, of not knowing when and how we
                                  were going to encounter the Risen Lord, we have had
                                  the chance to reflect on what the presence of Jesus
                                  Christ means and how we shape our lives to receive
                                  Him more completely. With Pentecost, we are
                                  challenged to go out and reintroduce the world to the
                                  God who made it.

                                  Therefore, as our parishes begin the process of
                                  reopening, we will call upon more volunteers to help
                                  with the diocesan and state required usher and
                                  cleaning/sanitizing duties. But even more importantly,
                                  we are calling upon you to go out and invite people to
                                  attend our outdoor masses. To have streaming parties,
                                  as so many have, in our parking lots – a kind of Holy
                                  Tailgating. You are necessary to preach the Gospel,
                                  and call the many who have fled back to the Churches.
                                  You have received the Holy Spirit. Do not be afraid, for
                                  behold Jesus Christ is with you, even unto the end of
                                  the age.
