Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, St. Thomas Aquinas tells us that Jesus instituted the Sacrament of Confirmation by promising it: "If I go not, the Para-clete will not come to you, but if I go, I will send Him to you." The Sending of the Spirit upon the Church at Pentecost is the Confirmation of the Apostles and disciples. They are filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit and empowered to preach and to witness to Jesus even in the midst of great danger. They are made soldiers of Jesus Christ! As we open our hearts today to receive this new Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we can never forget that those who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation have likewise been clothed with Power from on high. We also have received the Spirit, Who empowers us to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth, even in the face of persecution and suffering. With this fullness of the Holy Spirit, we have received a new sacramental character, a new sharing in the priesthood of Jesus, which gives us the power publicly to profess the faith so as to defend the faith and to bring others to Jesus. The Descent of the Holy Spirit is not just an event of the past. This same boldness is ours in Confirmation. We are clothed with the same Power for the same mission, according to our state in life. We are sent to preach the Gospel and to witness to Jesus. Jesus expects us to be fruitful in the Spirit. He desires with great zeal to set the world on fire with His Love. St. Peter converted 3,000 people on the day of his Confirmation. How many have I converted in the years since mine? The mystery of Pentecost is the revelation of Divine Love. The Holy Spirit has been poured into our hearts and we are made one with Jesus Christ. We are now an extension of Him. Just as Jesus's soul was entirely under the sway of the Spirit, we now give our souls to this same Power from on high. The Holy Spirit is the Uncreated Soul of the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ. Jesus is alive! He sends us! Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Veni per Mariam! Veni in Ecclesiam! Pray for me, Father Joseph Previtali

St. Thomas Aquinas teaches us about the Easter sacraments:

THE HOLY EUCHARIST The third Sacrament is the Holy Eucharist. Its matter is wheaten bread and wine from the grape mixed with a little water so that the water becomes part of the wine. The water signifies the faithful who are incorporated into Christ. Other than wheaten bread and wine from the grape cannot be the matter for this Sacrament. The form of this Sacrament is the very words of Christ, “This is My Body,” and “This is the chalice of My Blood of the new and eternal testament; the mystery of faith; which shall be shed for you and for many, to the remission of sins.” These words spoken by the priest in the person of Christ brings into being this Sacrament. The minister of this Sacrament is the priest; and no one else can consecrate this matter into the Body of Christ. THE EFFECT OF THE EUCHARIST The effect of this Sacrament is twofold: first, in the very con-secration of the Sacrament, since in virtue of the above words bread is changed into the Body of Christ, and wine into His Blood; so that Christ is entirely contained under the appear-ances of bread which remain without a subject; and Christ is entirely contained under the appearances of wine. And, more-over, under each part of the consecrated Host and of the con-secrated wine, Christ is totally present even after the separa-tion is made.[21] The second effect of this Sacrament brought about in the soul of one who worthily receives is the union of man with Christ, as He himself says: “He that eateth My Flesh, and drinketh My Blood, abideth in Me, and I in him.”[22] And since man is incorporated with Christ and unit-ed to His members through grace, it follows that through this Sacrament grace is increased in those who receive it worthily. Thus, therefore, in this Sacrament there is that which is the Sacrament alone (“sacramentum tantum”), that is, the species of bread and wine; and that which is known as the “res et sac-ramentum,” that is, the true Body of Christ; and that which is the “res tantum,” that is the unity of the Mystical Body, that is, the Church which this Sacrament both signifies and causes.[23] ERRORS CONCERNING THE EUCHARIST There have been many errors regarding this Sacrament. The first error is of those who say that in this Sacrament is not the true Body of Christ but only a sign of it. The author of this error is said to be Berengarius against whom it is written: “For My Flesh is meat indeed; and My Blood is drink in-deed.”[24] The second is the error of the Arrodinici, who of-fer in their sacrament bread and cheese because they say men at first made offerings of the fruits of the earth and of their flocks.

Against this, however, stands the fact that the Lord who is the institutor of this Sacrament gave to His disciples bread and wine. The third is the error of the Cataphrygae and the Praeputiati, who drew the blood of an infant from tiny punc-tures in its body, and mixing this with flour made a bread of it; and thus asserted that they consecrated the sacrament. This is more like the sacrifices of demons than that of Christ: “And they shed innocent blood . . . which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan.”[25] The fourth is the error of the Aquarii, who offer water only in their sacrifices. But against this are the words from the mouth of Wisdom, which is Christ: “Drink the wine which I have mingled for you.”[26] Another error is that of the Poor People of Lyons who hold that any just man can consecrate this Sacrament. Against such errors is the fact that the Lord gave to the Apostles the power to celebrate this Sacrament; and hence only those who receive this power in a certain succession from the Apostles can consecrate this Sacrament.

Pray for Our Parishioners Who are Sick

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, San Tomás de Aquino nos dice que Jesús instituyó el Sacra-mento de la Confirmación prometiéndole: "Si no voy, el Paráclito no vendrá a ti, pero si voy, te lo enviaré". El envío del Espíritu a la Iglesia en Pentecostés es la Confirmación de los Apóstoles y discípulos. Están llenos de la plenitud del Espíritu Santo y facul-tados para predicar y para testificar a Jesús incluso en medio de un gran peligro. ¡Se hacen soldados de Jesucristo! Al abrir nuestros corazones hoy para recibir este nuevo Espí-ritu del Espíritu Santo, nunca olvidaremos que aquellos que han recibido el Sacramento de la Confirmación también han sido re-vestidos con Poder desde lo alto. También hemos recibido el Espíritu, que nos da el poder de ser sus testigos hasta los confi-nes de la tierra, incluso ante la persecución y el sufrimiento. Con esta plenitud del Espíritu Santo, hemos recibido un nuevo carác-ter sacramental, una nueva participación en el sacerdocio de Je-sús, que nos da el poder de profesar públicamente la fe para de-fender la fe y llevar a otros a Jesús. La Descendencia del Espíritu Santo no es sólo un aconteci-miento del pasado. Esta misma audacia es nuestra en la Confir-mación. Estamos vestidos con el mismo Poder para la misma misión, según nuestro estado de vida. Somos enviados a predicar el Evangelio ya ser testigos de Jesús. Jesús espera que seamos fecundos en el Espíritu. Desea con gran celo encender el mundo con Su Amor. San Pedro convirtió a 3.000 personas el día de su Confirmación. ¿Cuántos me he convertido en los años posterio-res a los míos? El misterio de Pentecostés es la revelación del Amor Divino. El Espíritu Santo ha sido derramado en nuestros corazones y somos hechos uno con Jesucristo. Ahora somos una extensión de Él. Así como el alma de Jesús estaba completamente bajo el do-minio del Espíritu, ahora damos nuestras almas a este mismo Poder desde lo alto. El Espíritu Santo es el Alma Increada de la Iglesia, el Cuerpo Místico de Cristo. ¡Jesús está vivo! ¡Él nos en-vía! ¡Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Veni per Mariam! Veni en Ecclesiam! Oren por mi, Padre José Previtali
