On Pentecost we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem; this event marks the beginning of the Church. The story of Pentecost is found in the Acts of the Apostles, today’s first reading. The account in today’s Gospel, John 20:19-23, also recounts how Jesus gave the gift of the Holy Spirit to his disciples. Yet the event in John’s Gospel takes place on Easter Sunday. There is no need to try to reconcile these two ac- counts. It is to we know that after his death, Jesus fulfilled his promise to send to his dis- ciples a helper, an Advocate, who would enable them to be his witnesses throughout the world. In the context of the feast of Pentecost, John 20:19-23 reminds us about the integral connection between the gifts of peace and forgiveness and the action of the Holy Spirit. Jesus greets his disciples with the gift of peace. Jesus then commissions his disciples to continue the work that he has begun: “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” He breathes the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and sends them to continue his work of rec- onciliation through the forgiveness of sins. Jesus’ act of breathing the Holy Spirit upon the apostles mirrors God’s act of breathing life into Adam. In fact, both the Greek and Hebrew words for “spirit” can also be translated as “breath.” This Gospel reminds us that the Church is called to be a reconcil- ing presence in the world. The reconciling presence of Christ is celebrated in the Church’s sacramental life. In the Sacrament of Baptism, we are cleansed of sin and be- come a new creation in Christ. In the Sacrament of Penance, the Church celebrates the mercy of God through the forgiveness of sins. This reconciling presence is also to be a way of life for Christians. In situations of conflict, we are to be agents of peace and harmony among people.

La temporada de Pascua concluye con la celebración de hoy, la fiesta de Pentecostés. En Pentecostés, celebramos el descenso del Espíritu Santo sobre los apóstoles reunidos en el aposento alto de Jerusalén; este evento marca el comienzo de la Iglesia. La historia de Pentecostés se encuentra en los Hechos de los Apóstoles, la primera lectura de hoy. El relato en el Evangelio de hoy, Juan 20: 19-23, también cuenta cómo Jesús dio el don del Espíritu Santo a sus discípulos. Sin embargo, el evento en el Evangelio de Juan se lleva a cabo el Domingo de Pascua. No hay nece-sidad de tratar de conciliar estas dos cuentas. Es para nosotros saber que después de su muerte, Jesús cumplió su promesa de enviar a sus discípulos un ayudante, un Abogado, que les permitiría ser sus testigos en todo el mundo. En el contexto de la fiesta de Pentecostés, Juan 20: 19-23 nos recuerda acerca de la conexión integral entre los dones de la paz y el perdón y la acción del Espíritu Santo. Jesús saluda a sus discípulos con el regalo de la paz. Jesús luego encarga a sus discípulos que continúen la obra que él comenzó: "Como el Padre me envió, así yo los envío". Él respira el Espíritu Santo sobre los discípulos y los envía a continuar su obra de reconciliación mediante el perdón de los pecados. . El acto de Jesús de respirar el Espíritu Santo sobre los apóstoles refleja el acto de Dios de inspirar vida a Adán. De hecho, tanto las palabras griegas como hebreas para "espíritu" también pueden traducirse como "aliento". Este Evangelio nos recuerda que la Iglesia está llamada a ser una presencia reconciliadora en el mundo. La presencia reconciliadora de Cristo se celebra en la vida sacramental de la Iglesia. En el Sacramento del Bautismo, somos purificados del pecado y nos convertimos en una nueva creación en Cristo. En el Sacramento de la Penitencia, la Iglesia celebra la misericordia de Dios mediante el perdón de los pecados. Esta presencia reconciliado-ra también es una forma de vida para los cristianos. En situaciones de conflicto, debemos ser agentes de paz y ar-monía entre las personas.
