Gospel John 20.19-23 www.loyolapress.com
Jesus appears to his disciples and gives them the gift of the Holy
Spirit.
Gospel Reflection
The Season of Easter concludes with today’s celebration, the Feast
of Pentecost. On Pentecost we celebrate the descent of the Holy
Spirit upon the apostles gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem;
this event marks the beginning of the Church. The story of
Pentecost is found in the Acts of the Apostles, today’s first reading.
The account in today’s Gospel, John 20:19-23, also recounts how
Jesus gave the gift of the Holy Spirit to his disciples. Yet the event
in John’s Gospel takes place on Easter Sunday. There is no need to
try to reconcile these two accounts. It is enough that we know that
after his death, Jesus fulfilled his promise to send to his disciples a
helper, an advocate, who would enable them to be his witnesses
throughout the world. We already heard today’s Gospel proclaimed
on the Second Sunday of Easter this year (Lectionary Cycle A).
That Gospel passage, however, also included the description of
Jesus’ appearance to Thomas. In that context, we were led reflect
on belief and unbelief. In the context of the Feast of Pentecost,
John 20:19-23 reminds us about the integral connection between
the gifts of peace and forgiveness and the action of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus greets his disciples with the gift of peace. Jesus then
commissions his disciples to continue the work that he has begun,
“As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” He breathes the Holy
Spirit upon the disciples and sends them to continue his work of
reconciliation through the forgiveness of sins. Jesus’ act of
breathing the Holy Spirit mirrors God’s act of breathing life into
Adam at the time of Creation. In fact, both the Greek and Hebrew
words for “spirit” can also be translated as “breath.” This Gospel
reminds us that the Church is called to be a reconciling presence in
the world. The reconciling presence of Christ is celebrated in the
Church’s sacramental life. In the Sacrament of Baptism, we are
cleansed of sin and become a new creation in Christ. In the
Sacrament of Penance, the Church celebrates the mercy of God
through the forgiving of sins. This reconciling presence is also to
be a way of life for Christians. In situations of conflict, we are to
be agents of peace and harmony among people.
