    PENTECOST SUNDAY (SOLEMNITY)

    YEAR A, 19TH MAY, 2024.


    ENTRANCE ANTIPHON: WISDOM 1:7
    The Spirit of the Lord has filled the whole world and that which contains all things
    understand what is said, alleluia.

    COLLECT:
    O God, who by the mystery of today’s great feast sanctify your whole Church in
    every people and nation, pour out, we pray, the gifts of the Holy Spirit across the
    face of the earth and, with the divine grace that was at work when the Gospel was
    first proclaimed, fill now once more the hearts of believers. Through Our Lord Jesus
    Christ your Son, Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
    Spirit, God forever and Ever.

    FIRST READING (Acts 2:1-11)


    “They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues.”
    A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
    When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And
    suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all
    the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
    distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy
    Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now
    there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
    And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because
    each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and
    wondered, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that
    we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites
    and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and
    Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from
    Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our
    own tongues the mighty works of God.”
    The word of the Lord.
    RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm104:1ab.24ac.29bc-30.31and 34 (R. cf. 30)
    R/. Lord, send forth your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
    Bless the Lord, O my soul!
    O Lord my God, how great you are.
    How many are your works, O Lord!
    The earth is full of your creatures. R/.

    You take away their breath, they die,


    returning to the dust from which they came.
    You send forth your spirit, and they are created,
    and you renew the face of the earth. R/.

    May the glory of the Lord last forever!


    May the Lord rejoice in his works!
    May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
    I will rejoice in the Lord. R/.

    SECOND READING Galatians 5:16-25


    A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians
    “The fruit of the Spirit.’’
    Brethren: Walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires
    of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh;
    for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. But
    if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are
    plain: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery enmity, strife, jealousy,
    anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like.
    I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit
    the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
    goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And
    those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
    If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no
    provoking of one another, no envy of one another. The word of the Lord.
    SEQUENCE (Poetic Text)
    Come, Holy Spirit, and from heaven direct on man the rays of your light.
    Come, Father of the poor; come, giver of God’s gifts; come, light of men’s hearts.
    Kindly Paraclete, in your gracious visits to man’s soul you bring relief and
    consolation. If it is weary with toil, you bring it ease; in the heat of temptation, your
    grace cools it; if sorrowful, your words console it. Light most blessed, shine on the
    hearts of your Faithful—even into their darkest corners; for without your aid man can
    do nothing good, and everything is sinful. Wash clean the sinful soul, rain down your
    grace on the parched soul and heal the injured soul. Soften the hard heart, cherish and
    warm the ice-cold heart, and give direction to the wayward. Give your seven holy
    gifts to your faithful, for their trust is in you. Give them reward for their virtuous acts;
    give them a death that ensures salvation; give them unending bliss. Amen. Alleluia.
    ALLELUIA
    Alleluia. Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful;
    and kindle in them the fire of your love.
    Alleluia.
    GOSPEL John 15:26-27, 16: 12-15
    A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
    “The Spirit of truth will guide you into all the truth.”
    At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, When the Counselor comes, whom I shall
    send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father,
    he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with
    me from the beginning. "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear
    them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he
    will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will
    declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is
    mine and declare it to you.
    The Gospel of the Lord.

    PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL


    “The coming of the Holy Spirit.”
    Priest: On this great day, when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, let us ask
    God our Father to renew each one of us, his Church and the world through his Spirit,
    so that all may be filled with his power.
    For the leaders of the Church; may they, like the apostles, be filled with
    God’s Holy Spirit, and speak to the world of his unending love for everyone.
    We pray O Lord; Lord hear our prayers.
    For peace and joy in the world; may the face of the earth be renewed and
    the coldness of conflict and discord in society be dispelled by the cleansing fire and
    warmth of the Holy Spirit. We pray O Lord; Lord hear our prayers.

    For those who have grown lukewarm in their faith; may they be re-
    born in the Holy Spirit, and helped to confess again that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of
    the Father. We pray O Lord; Lord hear our prayers.

    For our own community; may we never be afraid to follow where the Holy
    Spirit leads, so that we may discover a greater knowledge of truth and a life filled
    with love. We pray O Lord; Lord hear our prayers.
    The Holy Spirit came down on Mary, and with her we say:
    Hail, Mary…
    Renewed in the Holy Spirit, we make our private petitions to God our Father.
    Priest: Father, your Spirit renews our world. May he fill us with your love and enable
    us to do your will.
    Through Christ our Lord.
    PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
    Grant, we pray, O Lord, that, as promised by your Son, the Holy Spirit may reveal to
    us more abundantly the hidden mystery of this sacrifice and graciously lead us into
    all truth. Through Christ our Lord.

    COMMUNION ANTIPHON ACTS 2:4.11


    They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke of the marvels of God, alleluia.

    PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION


    O God, who bestow heavenly gifts upon your Church, safeguard, we pray, the grace
    you have given, that the gift of the Holy Spirit poured out upon her may retain all its
    force and that this spiritual food may gain her abundance of eternal redemption.
    Through Christ our Lord.
