Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to his disciples. After completing his mission
he has to leave this world. But Jesus’ love for his people is so intense that
he will not leave them orphaned. He will infuse them with his own Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will continue to live in them, teaching , guiding, healing,
strengthening and comforting. This was very evident in the early Church.
The apostles laid hands on the people and they were filled with the Holy
Spirit. Being strengthened by the Holy Spirit they endured persecutions
and trials with joy and courage. They healed the sick and raised the dead in
the power of the Holy Spirit . We receive the Holy Spirit, particularly during the reception of Sacraments of the Church. He continues to live and
work amidst us today. Every human being is endowed with the Holy Spirit.
It’s when we become aware of his presence and open to his guidance that
our lives become meaningful and joyful.

RIFLESSIONE
L’uomo vive d’amore dal suo primo respiro fino all’ultimo.
Amato, si sente protetto ed accettato. Amando, sente di appartenere e trova un senso ad offrirsi. Poiché l’amore non può
restare chiuso nel suo cuore; esso pervade il quotidiano.
L’amore che si porta all’uomo spinge ad impegnarsi. L’amore
che si porta a Dio si manifesta nella considerazione che si ha
dei suoi comandamenti. Si manifesta anche nella giustizia, nel
rispetto della vita, nell’azione per la riconciliazione dei popoli
e per la pace. Le conseguenze dell’amore che si porta a Dio
possono prendere l’aspetto di un lavoro, perfino di una lotta.
Lavoro e lotta sembrano spesso esigere troppo dall’uomo e
superare le sue forze. Egli vede le sue debolezze ed ha voglia
di rinunciare, ma quando lavoro e lotta sono le conseguenze
dell’amore, conferiscono all’esistenza un respiro profondo,
mettono la vita in un contesto più vasto e la rendono importante tanto sulla terra quanto in cielo.
Cose apparentemente infime acquistano un significato quando
sono il risultato dell’amore per Dio. Ogni buona azione, anche
quella che facciamo senza pensare a Dio, è in relazione
all’amore che gli portiamo.
Ogni atto di amore, anche quando sembra minimo - come
quando si porge un bicchiere d’acqua a qualcuno che ha sete assume un significato per l’eternità.
Noi ci chiediamo spesso: che cosa rimarrà del nostro mondo?
È vero che crediamo di poter vivere e risuscitare grazie
all’amore di Dio, con tutto ciò che è esistito grazie a questo
amore che non si è accontentato di restare sentimento: contatti, relazioni, avvenimenti, cose. Quando risusciteremo, tutto
un mondo risusciterà con noi, un mondo fatto di amore responsabile. Sarà magnifico: una “terra nuova”, che abbiamo
il diritto di chiamare anche un “cielo nuovo”.

First Reading: Acts 8:5-8. 14-17
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
Philip went to a Samaritan town and proclaimed the Christ to them. The people
united in welcoming the message Philip
preached, either because they had
heard of the miracles he worked or because they saw them for themselves.
There were, for example, unclean spirits
that came shrieking out of many who
were possessed, and several paralytics
and cripples were cured. As a result
there was great rejoicing in that town.
He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the river dry-shod.
Let our joy then be in him;
he rules for ever by his might. R.
When the apostles in Jerusalem heard
that Samaria had accepted the word of
God, they sent Peter and John to them,
and they went down there, and prayed
for the Samaritans to receive the Holy
Spirit, for as yet he had not come down
on any of them: they had only been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid hands on them, and they
received the Holy Spirit.
