Pentecost 2021: Happy Birthday, Church
Starters from Fr. Tony Kadavil:
Pentecost literally means 50th. It is a feast celebrated on the 50th day after the Passover feast by the Jews and a feast celebrated on the 50th day after the feast of the Resurrection of Jesus by the Christians. The Jewish Pentecost was originally a post- harvest thanksgiving feast. Later it was celebrated to remember God’s covenants with Noah after the Deluge and with Moses at Mt. Sinai

PENTECOST-2
Hymn: K 14
Leader: The Holy Spirit is always with us. He is at
work in the hearts of each of us. It is he who straightens what is twisted. It
is he who makes straight the way of the saviour. He is present in all human
aspirations and he corrects in them what must be corrected. We are temples of
God and the Holy Spirit lives in us.

Spirit
Hymn:
L: Your Spirit, Lord
God, present from the beginning of beginnings, present in the message of the
prophets, Kings and Judges of your choice, present in the surrender of faith in
Mary and her accompaniment of your son, present in provision for your people,
present in the life and words of Jesus, present in the Cross and crucifixion,
present in the lives of the apostles, present in the early Christians as they
formed into a community, present in their imprisonments and persecutions, present
in the Church that you empower. Your Spirit, the presence of God in our hearts
and lives, we adore you and we praise you. (Pause)

Starters:
The Church on Fire
Two persons were talking together before a large church which was being destroyed by fire. The first man spoke in a voice which could be heard above the voice of the firemen: "This is the first time I ever saw you at church." To this the second responded: "This is the first time I ever saw the church on fire." There are many prophets of doom saying that the age of the Christian Church is over - that it has lost its zeal! We're taking a beating right now in this country and around the world. Our theology is being questioned. Everyone is writing a critical book against the organized church. We have had to take some unpopular stands on social issues. Magazines are attacking the ministry, and it isn't the thing to do anymore to join the church. John Kelman said, however, "God pity the nation or city whose factory smokestacks rise higher than her church spires."

The event
On the day of Pentecost
1) The Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and Blessed Virgin Mary as fiery tongues.
2) The frightened apostles were transformed into fiery preachers and evangelizers by a special anointing of the Holy Spirit.
3) The audience experienced a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit with the gift of tongues, hearing Peter speaking in their languages.
4) The early Christians became powerful witnesses and brave martyrs for faith.
