First Reading (Acts 2: 1–11)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
When the day of Pentecost came, the apostles were all together in one place. And suddenly out of the sky came a sound like a strong rushing wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. There appeared tongues as if of fire which parted and came to rest upon each one of them. All were filled with Holy Spirit and began to speak other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak. Staying in Jerusalem were religious Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd gathered, all excited because each heard them speaking in his own language. Full of amazement and wonder, they asked, "Are not all those who are speaking Galileans? How is it that we hear them in our own native language? Here are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libra belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and foreigners who accept Jewish beliefs, Cretians and Arabians; and all of us hear them proclaiming in our own language what God, the Savior, does."
Second Reading (Romans 8: 8–17)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: Those who are walking according to the flesh cannot please God. Yet your existence is not in the flesh, but in the spirit, because the Spirit of God is within you. If you did not have the Spirit of Christ, you would not belong to him. But Christ is within you; though the body is branded by death as a consequence of sin, the spirit is life and holiness. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is within you, He who raised Jesus Christ from among the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies. Yes, he will do it through his Spirit who dwells within you. Then, brothers, let us leave the flesh and no longer live according to it. If not, we will die. Rather, walking in the Spirit, let us put to death the body's deeds so that we may live. All those who walk in the Spirit of God are sons and daughters of God. Then, no more fear: you did not receive a spirit of slavery, but the Spirit that makes you sons and daughters and every time we cry, "Abba! (this is Dad!) Father!" the Spirit assures our spirit that we are sons and daughters of God. If we are children, we are heirs, too. Ours will be the inheritance of God and we will share it with Christ; for if we now suffer with him, we will also share Glory with him.
Gospel (John 14: 15–16 and 23b–26)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus stated to his disciples: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments; and I will ask the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever, and we will come to him and make a room in his home. But if anyone does not love me, he will not keep my words, and these words that you hear are not mine but the Father's who sent me. I told you all this while I was still with you. From now on the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of all that I have told you."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 104) (1, 24, 29-31, and 34)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Bless the Lord, my soul! Clothed in majesty and splendor; O Lord, my God, how great you are! How varied O Lord, are your works! In wisdom you have made them all – the earth full of your creatures.
When you hide your face they vanish, you take away their breath, they expire and return to dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created, and the face of the earth is renewed.
May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works! May my song give him pleasure, as the Lord gives me delight.

ReplyDeletePrimera Lectura (Hechos de los Apóstoles 2: 1-11)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles.
Al llegar el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos reunidos en el mismo lugar. De pronto, vino del cielo un ruido, semejante a una fuerte ráfaga de viento, que resonó en toda la casa donde se encontraban. Entonces vieron aparecer unas lenguas como de fuego, que descendieron por separado sobre cada uno de ellos. Todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en distintas lenguas, según el Espíritu les permitía expresarse. Había en Jerusalén judíos piadosos, venidos de todas las naciones del mundo. Al oírse este ruido, se congregó la multitud y se llenó de asombro, porque cada uno los oía hablar en su propia lengua. Con gran admiración y estupor decían: “¿Acaso estos hombres que hablan no son todos galileos? ¿Cómo es que cada uno de nosotros los oye en su propia lengua? Partos, medos y elamitas, los que habitamos en la Mesopotamia o en la misma Judea, en Capadocia, en el Ponto y en Asia Menor, en Frigia y Panfilia, en Egipto, en la Libia Cirenaica, los peregrinos de Roma, judíos y prosélitos, cretenses y árabes, todos los oímos proclamar en nuestras lenguas las maravillas de Dios.”
Salmo responsivo (Salmo 104) (Versículos 1, 24, 29-31, y 34)
La respuesta es: Señor, envía tu espíritu y renueva la superficie de la tierra.
Bendice al Señor, alma mía: ¡Señor, Dios mío, qué grande eres! Estás vestido de esplendor y majestad.
¡Qué variadas son tus obras, Señor! ¡Todo lo hiciste con sabiduría, la tierra está llena de tus criaturas!
Si escondes tu rostro, se espantan; si les quitas el aliento, expiran y vuelven al polvo. Si envías tu aliento, son creados, y renuevas la superficie de la tierra.
¡Gloria al Señor para siempre, alégrese el Señor por sus obras! Que mi canto le sea agradable, y yo me alegraré en el Señor.
Segunda Lectura (romanos 8: 8-17)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
Por eso, los que viven de acuerdo con la carne no pueden agradar a Dios. Pero ustedes no están animados por la carne sino por el espíritu, dado que el Espíritu de Dios habita en ustedes. El que no tiene el Espíritu de Cristo no puede ser de Cristo. Pero si Cristo vive en ustedes, aunque el cuerpo esté sometido a la muerte a causa del pecado, el espíritu vive a causa de la justicia. Y si el Espíritu de aquel que resucitó a Jesús habita en ustedes, el que resucitó a Cristo Jesús también dará vida a sus cuerpos mortales, por medio del mismo Espíritu que habita en ustedes. Hermanos, nosotros no somos deudores de la carne, para vivir de una manera carnal. Si ustedes viven según la carne, morirán. Al contrario, si hacen morir las obras de la carne por medio del Espíritu, entonces vivirán. Todos los que son conducidos por el Espíritu de Dios son hijos de Dios. Y ustedes no han recibido un espíritu de esclavos para volver a caer en el temor, sino el espíritu de hijos adoptivos, que nos hace llamar a Dios. El mismo espíritu se une a nuestro espíritu para dar testimonio de que somos hijos de Dios. Si somos hijos, también somos herederos, herederos de Dios y coherederos de Cristo, porque sufrimos con él para ser glorificados con él.
Evangelio (Juan 14: 15-16 y 23b-26)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Juan.
Jesús dice a sus discípulos: “Si ustedes me aman, cumplirán mis mandamientos. Y yo rogaré al Padre, y él les dará otro Paráclito para que esté siempre con ustedes: El que me ama será fiel a mi palabra, y mi Padre lo amará; iremos a él y habitaremos en él. El que no me ama no es fiel a mis palabras. La palabra que ustedes oyeron no es mía, sino del Padre que me envió. Yo les digo estas cosas mientras permanezco con ustedes. Pero el Paráclito, el Espíritu Santo, que el Padre enviará en mi Nombre, les enseñará todo y les recordará lo que les he dicho.”
