Reflection by Dianne Bergant CSS
TODAY’S READING from Acts describes external manifestations that accompanied the outpouring of the Spirit. These phenomena were audible and visible though the actual outpouring of the Spirit was not. As those present were filled with the Spirit, they began to speak in other languages, a feat that could only have some supernatural origin. The crowd that gathered was confused, astonished and amazed. The exact nature of this marvel is less significant than is its meaning. It was clearly a manifestation of the universal presence and power of the Spirit. The outpouring of the Spirit and the preaching of the gospel to all nations are considered the reuniting of the human race and the gathering of all into the reign of God.
The responsorial psalm depicts God as the creator and sustainer of all life. God is described as robed in majesty and glory, wrapped around with radiant light. The splendour of the natural world is attributed to the wisdom of the creator. God is also extolled as the one who cares for all living things. The act of creation and the power of the creator are perceived in the constant renewal of life that unfolds before our eyes. God is both the original creator and the one who continues to control the forces of nature. Finally, God not only creates but re-creates. Life is sustained and perpetuated. This is all reason enough to bless the Lord.
Three different yet related themes are found in the reading from 1 Corinthians: an acclamation of the lordship of Jesus; a defence of diversity within the com-munity; the body metaphor characterising that diversity. Lord (kýrios) was the official title of the Roman emperor. It is also the Greek substitute for God’s per-sonal name. To proclaim Jesus as Lord both challenged the sovereignty of the emperor and testified to Jesus' divine character. Comparing the Christian com-munity to the complexity of the human body, Paul insists that all of the functions within the community were manifestations of the Spirit, and none was to be considered superior to another. Rather, all gifts were given for the benefit of the entire community.
John’s appearance account treats the resurrection and the bestowal of the Spirit as having occurred on the same day, the first day of the week. Where previously religious meaning was given to the Sabbath, the conclusion of the week, now the focus is on the beginning, on the future. The wish of peace, a common Jewish greeting, was also a prayer for eschatological blessing. Calling attention to his wounds, Jesus shows that he is the same man who was cruci-fied, but now he is risen. Breathing the Spirit, the risen Lord portrays himself as one who can create or re-create. With the bestowal of the Spirit, the disciples are authorised to continue the mission of Jesus.

FOR MANY years now we have been conducting English
language classes for Refugee women at Mamre House
Orchard Hills - a work of Catholic Care Social Services. The
classes are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00am
to 2:00pm during school terms. These classes are possible
because of the generous help of volunteer English
teachers. At present we urgently need a volunteer teacher to
come on Tuesdays or alternatively to be on our relief list to
fill in when required. A teaching qualification is an ad-
vantage but not essential. A Working With Children Check
is required. For further information please phone Sr Janet
Woods on 0418 690 487.
