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 Italy by surprise: Evangelical Protestants. They welcomed Francis to their Pentecostal Church of Reconciliation, where Francis asked pardon for Catholic persecutions and celebrated the Holy Spirit’s “Pentecostal work.” Unlike Satan, declared Francis, who creates division among God’s children, the Holy Spirit creates a diversity rich and beautiful. And unity; not uniformity, Francis specified, but unity in diversity. Francis named the Spirit’s gift “reconciled diversity.” Pentecost’s rich treasury 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.

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!”

Pentecost Stewardship
One miracle of Pentecost was that, despite their diversity,
each listener heard God’s word in his or her own language.
The meaning for stewardship is
that, by sharing the gifts poured
out on us by the Holy Spirit, we
will be empowered to meet the
needs of our brothers and sisters,
whatever they may be.
The St. Bartholomew Society is once
again giving a $1000 scholarship to
one of our young members who is
attending or planning to attend a
Catholic High School in the Fall. This
year thanks to an anonymous donor,
we are able to give 2 scholarships.
The topic is “God, Family and Country”.
The theme consists of how your learning and faith
have influenced how you will trust God throughout
your life. The paper must be double-spaced without
your name. The title page will be a separate page with
your name and address. Deadline is June 30th. Please
turn the paper in to Paulette in the parish office no
later than Sunday, June 30th.
Wondering what the future holds for
St. Bartholomew Parish?
Come on Sunday, June 30th
between the Masses and hear
Tim Russell talk about
potential growth for our area
and our church. Come and
help us plan the future. We
need all input, young and old.
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 places 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 experiences. 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 color 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.
