TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Today we are at the fiftieth day of the Easter celebration: seven weeks of seven days, a week of weeks, now culminating in a festival fiftieth day. While the liturgical color of the Easter season is gold, on this last day we have red. For the first thousand years of the church, there were no firm rules for using colors. Only wealthy churches could afford a full array of colors, and most plac-es used the best vestments, no matter the color, for the greatest feasts. The Church spelled out an exact plan for color, including red for Pentecost, only in 1570, but local differences held on until the 1800s.

Color experts tell us that red is a hot color, best used for fast-paced, upbeat, active experi-ences. It is hard to be neutral before red, as any matador will tell you. It invites commitment, draws you in. It is a stimulating color, engaging the eye, stirring hunger. It is the most fitting col-or for this day when we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit into our lives, a dynamic presence overturning neutrality in favor of passion and commitment. —James Field, Copyright © J.

Mission San Jose A Moment of History

On March 19,1768, Fray Gasper Solis par-ticipated in a ceremony blessing the first stones of the new, present church. “I blessed the foundation and first stones of the church on which construc-tion has started in this [San Jose] Mission. Don Hugo O’Conner placed a stone and I the other…”

Fray Solis stated that the intended dimen-sions of the original design for the church was 137 feet by 27.4 feet and that the building was to have transepts. Thie design was altered about mid 1768, shortening the length of the church and eliminat-ing the transepts.

*the church would have been in the shape of a cross, the transcept being the cross piece of the cross.

COME TO US, SPIRIT OF HOLINESS

Holy Spirit,

you banish fear from our hearts;

you bear witness in us that we are children of God; we pray to you:

Remove from our hearts the spirit of slaves;

place in us the spirit of adopted children

to make us cry out, “Abba, Father!”

VEN A NOSOTROS, ESPÍRITU DE

SANTIDAD

Espíritu Santo,

tú desvaneces el temor de nuestro corazón;

Remueve de nuestro corazón el espíritu de escla-vos;

danos el Espíritu de hijos adoptados

para que podamos llamar, “¡Abba, Padre!”

RECONCILED DIVERSITY

A few years ago, during Rome’s quiet summer, Pope Francis took a day off to visit privately with some old friends, whose identity took Catholic Ita-ly by surprise: Evangelical Protestants. They wel-comed Francis to their Pentecostal Church of Rec-onciliation, where Francis asked pardon for Catho-lic persecutions and celebrated the Holy Spirit’s “pentecostal work.” Unlike Satan, declared Fran-cis, who creates division among God’s children, the Holy Spirit creates a diversity rich and beauti-ful. And unity; not uniformity, Francis specified, but unity in diversity. Francis named the Spirit’s gift “reconciled diversity.” Pentecost’s rich treas-ury of scriptural readings, for Saturday’s vigil and Sunday’s morning liturgy, traces the Holy Spirit’s work from creation’s beginning, through Jesus’ resurrection, into the church’s earliest days, now into our days. Kindled in our hearts, the Spirit’s gentle fire is ours to share generously, even with those most strikingly different from us. All hearts are Spirit-warmed by reconciled diversity. Copyright © J. S.
