(Before singing any Marian Song as recessional, ask the permission of your Parish Priest if ok lang ba to use it. However, it's important to note:

·       No Hard and Fast Rule: There's no official prohibition against singing Marian hymns during the recessional. The choice of music is often left to the discretion of the priest and the parish music director.
·       Honoring Mary: Singing Marian hymns is a way of honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is revered as the Mother of God in the Catholic Church. Her role in salvation history is significant, and many Catholics find solace and inspiration in her intercession.
 
Ultimately, the decision of what music to sing during the recessional is a matter of pastoral judgment and should be guided by a desire to enhance the liturgical celebration and promote the spiritual growth of the congregation.)

Pentecost Sunday - Year B - May 19, 2024

Thank you po sa mga bumisita. Pasensya at late ang post at naubusan ng allowance kaya di nakapagload ng data.

The readings for Pentecost Year B clearly tell us that we need to be willing to receive the Holy Spirit and then use the gifts we receive. In the first reading we hear how the Holy Spirit came to the disciples and empowered them to share the gospel with people from different nations. The second reading tells us that it is the Holy Spirit who enables us to proclaim the gospel in unity. In the gospel Jesus breathes on his followers and enables them to forgive sins.

Pentecost Year B marks a crucial event in the Christian calendar, celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles. Here are some key themes from the readings of this day:

• Empowerment by the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit descends on the disciples, enabling them to speak in diverse languages. This highlights the Spirit's role in empowering believers to communicate God's wonders universally.
• Living by the Spirit: Paul encourages living according to the Spirit, not the desires of the flesh. This contrast shows the transformation and guidance provided by the Spirit, leading to a life of virtue.
• Role of the Advocate: Jesus promises the Advocate, the Spirit of truth, who will testify about Him and guide the disciples into all truth. This points to the Spirit’s role in continuing Jesus' mission and revealing divine truths.
• Unity and diversity: The event of Pentecost illustrates the coming together of diverse peoples through the power of the Holy Spirit. It celebrates both unity and diversity within the Church.
• Fruits of the Spirit: The reading from Galatians lists the fruits of living in the Spirit, like love, joy, and peace. These qualities are marks of a Christian life deeply rooted in the Spirit.

The themes for Pentecost Year B guide believers in understanding their role in the Church and the wider world.

Readings:

• First Reading - Acts 2:1-11: During Pentecost, disciples filled with the Holy Spirit spoke in various languages, astounding the diverse crowd in Jerusalem, as each heard the wonders of God in their own tongue.

• Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 104: Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

• I praise the immensely great Lord, filled with awe at His varied creations. I rejoice in Him, knowing He renews the earth, giving and recalling life with His Spirit.

• Second Reading - 1 Corinthians 12:3B-7, 12-13: No one can say "Jesus is Lord" without the Holy Spirit. Diverse spiritual gifts, services, and functions come from one Spirit, uniting us as Christ's body, transcending all divisions.

• Alternate Second Reading - Galatians 5:16-25: Live guided by the Spirit, not the flesh's desires which oppose the Spirit. The flesh's acts are clear, but the Spirit's fruit brings virtues like love and self-control. In Christ, we overcome fleshly desires, walking in the Spirit's harmony.

• Gospel - John 20:19-23: On the evening following his resurrection, Jesus miraculously appeared to his disciples, who were hiding in fear. He greeted them with a message of peace and showed them his crucifixion wounds. Their fear turned to joy. Jesus then empowered them with the Holy Spirit and the authority to forgive sins.

• Alternate Gospel - John 15:26-27; 16:12-15: Jesus promised his disciples the Advocate, the Spirit of truth, sent from the Father, would testify about Him and guide them into all truth. The Spirit, speaking not independently but from Jesus' teachings, will disclose future events and glorify Jesus, revealing the deep truths that belong to both Jesus and the Father.
