Pentecost Sunday May 31, 2020
[ 2 ] SAINT CLARE of ASSISI PARISH
Abraham negotiates with God in Genesis 18 about the number of righteous men needed if
Sodom is to be spared. That number was ten. The number 10 is significant because it forms a
minyan, which is the minimum number of men needed for worship. That is also why Abraham
could not go below that number.
During this sequestration I hope we have found ways to create and maintain new forms of
worship, such as livestreamed Masses, or family prayer. In this time of separation and isolation
I thought of how our predicament, in a small way, parallels that of the Apostles. Recall, that for
most of the 50 days from the Resurrection to Pentecost they too were isolated, for fear of
being recognized. The 11 Apostles, forming a minyan, were able to worship in their traditional
manner. Then Pentecost arrived and everything changed. On that day Christ’s cowering followers stepped out into the
world forever changing it.
Bishops across the country are planning for the time our Church will resume public
worship. Limitations likely to be imposed. We should anticipate changes to some practices, the introduction of new
ones. Some changes may be temporary, some not. Irrespective of any change, we should open ourselves to them as
the faithful did on Pentecost.
This is an exciting time to be Catholic as we are about to experience the most interesting event since Vatican II.
Why would we want to miss being part of a Church that will be changing and adapting to our new (and hopefully
temporary) situation?
While online Mass offers a time of peace, prayer and reflection, it lacks so much. It
cannot provide the sense of community created when we gather for worship. Absent is the sound of music, voices
joining in the recitation of the Creed and the Our Father. Also missing is the sense and aromas found only inside our
Churches. Beyond all else, never will I ever take for granted the beauty of solace found in the Eucharist.
Three things in closing.
• First, I look forward to the time when we all can join together to celebrate, console and inspire each other. • Second, please keep the leaders of our Parish in your prayers. Ask that we be guided by the Spirit in all matters. • Third, if circumstances allow, please remember to continue supporting the Parish, whose expenses are ongoing.
Until we meet again may God peace and blessing be with you all.
Abraham negocia con Dios en Génesis 18 sobre el número de hombres justos necesarios para que Sodoma se salve. Ese número era diez. El número 10 es significativo porque forma un minyan, que es el número mínimo de hombres necesarios para la adoración. Esa es también la razón por la cual Abraham no pudo ir por debajo de ese número.
Durante este secuestro, espero que hayamos encontrado formas de crear y mantener nuevas formas de adoración, como las misas en vivo o la oración familiar. En este tiempo de separación y aislamiento, pensé en cómo nuestra situación, en pequeña medida, es paralela a la de los Apóstoles. Recordemos que durante la mayor parte de los 50 días desde la Resurrección hasta Pentecostés ellos también estuvieron aislados, por temor a ser reconocidos. Los 11 apóstoles, formando un minyan, pudieron adorar de la manera tradicional. Entonces llegó Pentecostés y todo cambió. Ese día, los seguidores de Cristo se
encogieron en el mundo y lo cambiaron para siempre.
Los obispos de todo el país están planificando para el momento en que nuestra Iglesia reanudará sus actividades
Adoración. Limitaciones que pueden imponerse. Deberíamos anticipar cambios a algunas prácticas, la introducción de otras nuevas. Algunos cambios pueden ser temporales, otros no. Independientemente de cualquier cambio, debemos abrirnos a ellos como lo hicieron los fieles en Pentecostés.
Este es un momento emocionante para ser católicos, ya que estamos a punto de experimentar el evento más interesante desde el Vaticano II. ¿Por qué querríamos perder ser parte de una Iglesia que cambiará y se adaptará a nuestra nueva (y con suerte temporal) situación?
Si bien la Misa en línea ofrece un momento de paz, oración y reflexión, le falta mucho. Eso no puede proporcionar el sentido de comunidad creada cuando nos reunimos para adorar. Ausente está el sonido de la música, voces que se unen en la recitación del Credo y el Padre Nuestro. También falta el sentido y los aromas que se encuentran solo dentro de nuestras Iglesias. Más allá de todo lo demás, nunca daré por sentado la belleza del consuelo que se encuentra en la Eucaristía.
Tres cosas en el cierre.
• Primero, espero con ansias el momento en que todos podamos unirnos para celebrar, consolar y inspirarse el uno al otro.
• Segundo, por favor mantenga a los líderes de nuestra parroquia en sus oraciones. Pide que nos guíe el Espíritu en todos los asuntos.
• Tercero, si las circunstancias lo permiten, recuerde continuar apoyando a la Parroquia, cuyos gastos están en curso.
Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar, que Dios la paz y la bendición estén con todos ustedes.

WEEK AT A GLANCE
USCCB Priority Resources as
Regards to COVID-19 Through the good leadership of our shepherds, the Church is experiencing the remarkable grace of spiritual closeness from a distance. To the extent you may find it helpful, the Conference has been collecting examples of how our community of faith has sought to remain with one another in prayer during these difficult times. You may find the list here: http://www.usccb.org/coronavirus In the days ahead, we will update this page as we find and you share additional resources. USCCB Public Affairs and Episcopal Resources teams are partnering also with the Office of Divine Worship, the Office of Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, and other Conference colleagues to develop new resources to help the faithful in our home prayer. These are being prepared for Catholic Current. Those resources are here: https://catholiccurrent.org/covid19/

SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS In Preparation Sunday, June 7, 2020
First Reading: Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9
Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 Gospel: John 3:16-18
“To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” 1
CORINTHIANS 12:7
For Stewards to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, we must open our hearts and invite Him in! Ask the Holy Spirit
to guide your thoughts, words and actions every day! Be grateful for all
the gifts God has given you! Regardless of our individual
circumstances, God has given all of us many blessings. What we do with
those gifts is our gift back to God! By generously sharing everything we have and everything we are, we become
more “God-centered” and less “s elf-centered” and our lives truly reflect
God’s light, love and mercy.
Domingo de Pentecostés
"A cada uno se le da la manifestación del Espíritu para el bien común".
1 CORINTIOS 12: 7
¡Para recibir el don del Espíritu Santo, debes abrir tu corazón e invitarlo a entrar! ¡Pídele al Espíritu Santo que
guíe tus pensamientos, palabras y ac-ciones todos los días! ¡Agradece todos los regalos que Dios te ha dado! Inde-pendientemente de nuestras circuns-tancias individuales, Dios nos ha dado muchas bendiciones. ¡Lo que hacemos
con esos regalos es nuestro regalo a Dios! Al compartir generosamente to-do lo que tenemos y todo lo que so-
mos, nos volvemos más "centrados en Dios" y menos "egocéntricos", y nues-tras vidas realmente reflejan la luz, el
