(Holy Spirit, the Creator, in the beginning You walked on the water. The whole creation drew life from your breath. Without you, life turns to dust.)

FIRST LESSON [Pew Bible NT 119 or 111]             Acts 2:1-13

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.  

(Gujarati) જ્યારે પેન્ટેકોસ્ટનો દિવસ આવ્યો, ત્યારે તેઓ બધા એક જગ્યાએ ભેગા હતા. અને અચાનક સ્વર્ગમાંથી હિંસક પવનના ધસારો જેવો અવાજ આવ્યો, અને તે જ્યાં તેઓ બેઠા હતા તે આખું ઘર ભરાઈ ગયું. વિભાજિત જીભ, અગ્નિની જેમ, તેમની વચ્ચે દેખાઈ, અને તેમાંથી દરેક પર એક જીભ છે. તેઓ બધા પવિત્ર આત્માથી ભરપૂર હતા અને આત્માએ તેઓને ક્ષમતા આપી હોવાથી તેઓ અન્ય ભાષાઓમાં બોલવા લાગ્યા. 

(Hindi)ब पिन्तेकुस का दिन आया, तो वे सब एक जगह इकट्ठे थे। और एकाएक आकाश से बड़ी आंधी की सी सनसनाहट का शब्द हुआ, और उस से सारा घर जहां वे बैठे थे, गूंज गया। और उन्हें आग की सी जीभें फटती हुई दिखाई दीं; और उन में से हर एक पर आ ठहरीं। और वे सब पवित्र आत्मा से भर गए, और जिस प्रकार आत्मा ने उन्हें बोलने की सामर्थ दी, वे अन्य अन्य भाषा बोलने लगे॥

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, 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 Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this mean?’ But others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with new wine.’

Second Lesson [ Pew Bible NT 148 or 158]         Romans 8:14-17 

Los que se dejan conducir por el Espíritu de Dios, esos son hijos de Dios. En cuanto a ustedes, no han recibido un Espíritu que los convierta en esclavos, de nuevo bajo el régimen del miedo. Han recibido un Espíritu que los convierte en hijos y que nos permite exclamar: “¡Abba!”, es decir, “¡Padre!”.  Y ese mismo Espíritu es el que, uniéndose al nuestro, da testimonio de que somos hijos de Dios. Y si somos hijos, también somos herederos: herederos de Dios y coherederos con Cristo, ya que ahora compartimos sus sufrimientos para compartir también su gloria. (BHTI)

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. (NRSV)

Refrain: Spirit Spirit of gentleness Blow through the wilderness

Calling and free, Spirit Spirit of restlessness

Stir me from placidness Wind wind on the sea

Then You coaxed up the mountains From the valleys of sleep

And over the eons You called to each thing

Awake from your slumbers And rise on your wings (Refrain)
