Send forth your spirit and renew the face of the earth

After his ascension to heaven, Jesus sends forth the Spirit as his first gift to the community of believers. In the First Reading we find the Apostles and other disciples huddled together, awaiting the Spirit’s coming. On the feast of Pentecost (corresponding to the Jewish feast of Shavuot celebrated 50 days after Passover), the Holy Spirit comes with the force of a driving wind, reminiscent of the Ruah or spirit/breath of God hovering over creation. Thus, a new beginning, a new creation, is taking place, forming a new People of God from all the nations of the earth, as evidenced by the glossolalia or “gift of tongues” that enables those gathered in Jerusalem to hear in their own native language what the Apostles were proclaiming. The curse of Babel, the “confusion of language” that dispersed the ancient peoples, is removed.
