There are MANY choices for Mass readings on the feast of Pentecost, so let’s focus on the themes we find in the Gospel options.

Vigil Mass: John 7:37-39

  • Jesus quotes the prophet Isaiah, saying that he satisfies the thirsty with living water.
  • His disciples later understand that this refers to the gift of the Holy Spirit after the Lord is glorified.

    • Mass during the Day: John 20:19-23

    • Jesus appears to the disciples after his resurrection saying, “Peace be with you.”
    • The Lord then breathes on them saying, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

      • Mass during the Day (2nd Option): John 14:15-16,23b-26

      • Jesus teaches that we keep his commandments out of our love for God.
      • We are promised the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who will teach us everything and remind us of what the Lord taught.
