Fr. Greg had dinner at the home of a couple in his church.

After he left, the wife said to the husband,

“I think Father stole our spoon!” This bothered her for a

whole year.

A year later the couple had Fr. Greg for dinner again.

Unable to resist, the wife asked, “Father Greg, did you

steal our spoon last year?

Father Greg replied, “No, I put it inside your Bible.”

The Gift of

the

Holy Spirit The gift of the Spirit

of God within us

enables us to live by

the Spirit through

words and actions.

Some might ask, “Wouldn’t it be easier if we spoke the

same language?”

But others might answer, “How boring that would be!”

If we go to the book of Genesis we find the story of the

Tower of Babel, which presents a world in which all

people do speak the same language with the same vo-

cabulary. However, when they settle and build a city

and tower they do so to “make a name” for them-

selves; and God reacts to their pride by confusing their

language so that they cannot understand each other.

It is an ancient legend about the origin of different lan-

guages, but clothed by the writer of Genesis with a the-

ological meaning – namely, that their sin of pride has

its cause in the disruption brought about by the original

sin of Adam. The result is the alienation of men and

women from God and from one another.

In complete contrast is today’s first reading with its ac-

count of the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The

apostles are no longer terrified and in hiding after Je-

sus’ crucifixion, but, driven by what seems like a pow-

erful wind from heaven and tongues of fire, go to the

market square proclaiming the marvels of God. The

people are from many foreign places, but everyone

hears and understands in his or her own language what

is being said. It signifies a reversal of the confusion of

language in the story of Babel and the beginning of hu-

manity’s restoration to unity.

Even more, it inaugurates the fulfilment of Jesus’ prom-

ise in today’s Gospel to ask the Father to give his fol-

lowers “another Advocate to be with you for ever.” The

first Advocate is Jesus himself. The Holy Spirit is the Ad-

vocate “whom the Father will send in my name.”

READINGS FOR June 16, 2019 The Solemnity of the Most Holy

Body and Blood of Christ

First Reading: Genesis 14:18-20

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Gospel: Luke 9:11b-17

“Advocate” is derived from the Latin word vocatus

(“call”) and primarily refers to a judicial advocate who is

called to help a person conduct a case, or prepare a de-

fense, before a court.

Another biblical word used of the Spirit is “Paraclete,”

with a similar meaning – called to the side of one in

need of help, especially in a legal process. Though the

words are not used here in a legal sense, they express

the Holy Spirit’s mission of being with us as our helper,

to teach and guide us in the truth. The action of the Ho-

ly Spirit explains the change in the apostles at Pentecost

and their ability to preach as they did.

Not only is the Spirit of God our helper but also, as Paul

says in the second reading, he has “made his home” in

us. The source of this divine life of the Spirit within us is

the Father “who raised Jesus from the dead.” Having

received the gift of the Spirit we are called to live

“spiritual lives.” An example given in the first letter of

Peter is that we are to “speak in words which seem to

come from God.”

We may lack the power to describe the beauty of God’s

creation, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can

speak in words that bring love, healing and reconcilia-

tion.

When the words are accompanied by actions of self-

giving, they will be understood and accepted, whatever

the language of the recipient.
