On the day of Pentecost we are renewed as Christians by the gift of the Spirit. We can feel close to our Jewish brothers and sisters as we take a note that it is no coincidence if the Spirit, the fruit of Jesus’ pascal mystery, was poured forth upon all flesh, starting with the small group of disciples who were gathered together with Mary on Mount Zion.
Let us remember that the Torah will go forth from Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem (Isa 2:2-6). From Mount Sinai to Mount Zion, one goes from the particular covenant with Israel to the covenant’s being opened up to the Nations. These two mountains give support to one another and they dialogue with one another in order to make manifest the oneness of God’s plan, which includes Israel and the Nations.
HAPPY FEAST and חַג שָׂמֵחַ TO ALL!!!
