RRR EADINGS FOR MAY 23/24
READING 1 ACTS 2:1-11
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place
together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a
strong driving wind, Then there appeared to them tongues as of
fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different
tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven
staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd,
but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in
his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they
asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then
how does each of us hear them in his native language? We are
Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea
and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt
and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from
Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet
we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of
God.”
READING 2 1 COR 12:3B-7, 12-13
Brothers and sisters: No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the
Holy Spirit.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there
are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different
workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.
To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some
benefit.
As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the
body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. For in one Spirit
we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves
or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
GOSPEL JN 15:26-27; 16:12-15
Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Advocate comes whom I will
send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the
Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have
been with me from the beginning.
“I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But
when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He
will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will
declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me,
because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you
that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.”
REFLECTION FOR THE AREFLECTION FOR THE AREFLECTION FOR THE ASCENSION OF THE LORDSCENSION OF THE LORDSCENSION OF THE LORD
Before he returned to his Father, Jesus prayed for his disciples. He
prays that we may be consecrated in the truth, just as he is
consecrated in the truth. He asks the Father to transplant our lives
so that they may become rooted in the lasting, dependable, and
rich soil of the truth. He is praying that we be given the grace to
build our lives on the solid foundation of God's Word, so that when
the storms come (the hatred of the world, the attacks of the evil
one), we will stand strong.
