READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available
in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First
Reading
Acts
2:1-11
When
Pentecost day came round, the apostles had all met in one room, when suddenly
they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, the noise of which filled
the entire house in which they were sitting; and something appeared to them that
seemed like tongues of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each
of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak foreign
languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech. Now there were devout men
living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all
assembled, each one bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They
were amazed and astonished. "Surely," they said, "all these men
speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own
native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea
and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of
Libya around Cyrene; as well as visitors from Rome - Jews and proselytes alike
- Cretans and Arabs; we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels
of God?".
Second
Reading
Corinthians
12:3-7.12-13
No one can say, "Jesus is Lord" unless he is under
the influence of the Holy Spirit. There is a variety of gifts but always the same
Spirit; there are all sorts of service to be done, but always to the same Lord;
working in all sorts of different ways in different people, it is the same God
who is working in all of them. The particular way in which the Spirit is given
to each person is for a good purpose. Just as a human body, though it is made
up of many parts, is a single unit because all these parts, though many, make
one body, so it is with Christ. In the one Spirit we were all baptised, Jews as
well as Greeks, slaves as well as citizens, and one Spirit was given to us all
to drink.
Gospel
John
15:26-27; 16:12-15
In the evening of the first day of the week, the doors
were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus
came and stood among them. He said to them, "Peace be with you", and
showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they
saw the Lord, and he said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father
sent me, so am I sending you." After saying this he breathed on them and
said: 'Receive the Holy Spirit. For those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven:
for those whose sins you retain, they are retained.".
