We young people experience a certain amount of brokenness in their lives. By the same token, we have also had experiences of reconciliation when conflicts were resolved and relationships restored. As we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, our Gospel reminds us that this same Holy Spirit helps us to be agents of God’s reconciliation in the world.
The word reconcile means “to make compatible” or “to re-establish a close relationship between.” In other words, it means to put something back together again.
The feast of Pentecost celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’ first disciples. After breathing upon them and giving them the gift of the Holy Spirit, he sent his disciples to continue his work of reconciliation through the forgiveness of sins.
This same Holy Spirit is still with us. Just as Jesus sent his disciples to forgive the sins of others, so too we are sent to bring peace to the world. We also have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit to help us with this task.
When Jesus sent his Holy Spirit he sent us the gifts of peace and forgiveness.
