Most of these people had abandoned Jesus when he was arrested. They were panic struck. Jesus had been, essentially, tortured to death. How could they avoid a similar fate? And yet, there was the truth about Jesus they could not deny. They were in turmoil and Jesus’ resurrection intensified their turmoil. They did not fully understand the significance of the resurrection. They kept their doors locked to keep His enemies out.   And then the Holy Spirit filled the room where they had gathered, the same Upper Room where they celebrated the Passover. The Holy Spirit didn’t just fill the room, it filled them. They began to understand the mystery of Christ. They were still afraid to suffer and die, but that became secondary to throwing open the door, going out and proclaiming the Gospel. And three thousand people heard them, and caught their fire, and became Christian. Together they formed the Body of Christ, the Church.       The Gift of Pentecost is that we hold our Saviour within us and are filled with the reality that changes our lives to the benefit of all creation.  The Gospel of John relates the Pentecost experience in a simple and moving manner, quite different than the scene in Acts. In John, Jesus appears to the disciples in the Upper Room and pronounces peace. “Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.” And when He said 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.” Peace comes through the forgiveness of sins. The Church is empowered to forgive sins. The Church is empowered by the Holy Spirit to impart peace. The fire that consumes us is the fire that forgives our sins, the fire of peace.   Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist.
