SOLEMNITY OF PENTECOST YEAR B Lectionary #63B
Since it is the final feast of the Great Fifty Days, how does Pentecost complete Easter?
Acts 2:1-11. The Spirit fills the disciples and sends them out to preach to the whole world. God's Spirit, like God's love, is missionary; it impels us beyond ourselves and our own concerns.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (103) 104
A hymn of praise to the Creator who also sustains the whole of creation especially through the gift of water (verses 10-18 and 27-35). See the commentary on the water imagery used at the Easter Vigil.
Galatians 5:16-25. Paul's version of the morality of two ways—the way of life and the way of death—contrasts the “deeds of the flesh” with the “deeds of the Spirit.” He reminds the Galatians that they are in the Spirit, so they should put into practice what they affirm about themselves. (The second reading for Year A may be used in place of this text.)
John 15:26-27; 16:12-15. The Spirit will testify to Jesus, and so will the church. In fact, the Spirit will testify through the church.
