Pope Leo: A family's love grounded in Christ is sign of peace for world

Families are the cradle of the future of humanity, Pope Leo XIV said during a Mass concluding the Jubilee of Families, Children, Grandparents and the Elderly. "Today's world needs the marriage covenant in order to know and accept God's love and to defeat, thanks to its unifying and reconciling power, the forces that break down relationships and societies," he said in his homily at the Mass celebrated June 1 in St. Peter's Square. The day also marked World Communications Day, and in remarks after the Mass Pope Leo thanked all "media workers who, by taking care of the ethical quality of messages, help families in their role as educators."

Scripture Insights

Today is the Solemnity of Pentecost, when we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and their sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ with the world. This day is acknowledged as the birth of the Church since it is the day when the frightened and confused disciples emerged from the upper room, boldly proclaiming the mighty acts of God through the crucified and risen Lord.

The joyous Solemnity of Pentecost brings the Easter season to a conclusion. In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that his Father will send them the Holy Spirit, and we witness this promise brought to fulfillment in the reading from Acts. How is the Spirit manifested in Acts? It is noisy, powerful, fiery, and enabling. Those who received the Spirit were able to speak in different languages. Thus, “devout Jews from every nation under heaven.” (2:5) who were staying in Jerusalem were able to understand what was proclaimed to them. This event has sometimes been understood as a reversal of the event of the Tower of Babel, a time when people challenged God through their desire for power. As a result, God confused their language and scattered them over the earth.

The power of the first reading is reinforced in the refrain from the responsorial psalm: “Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.” This hymn of praise recognizes God as creator of all and understands that without God’s breath of life, we perish.

Paul’s text from the Letter to the Romans also recognizes the power of God’s life-giving Spirit. Paul reminds us that if we embrace this Spirit, if the Spirit dwells within us, we are children of God and heirs with Christ, we will suffer, but we will also be glorified with him.

Consider the amazing diversity of peoples from the Jewish diaspora who were witness to this first Pentecost. The miracle of them hearing in their native dialects is significant; the miracle could just as well have been that they all understood perfectly one universal language. The Church today is even wider in its diversity of cultures and languages, yet individual Churches are often more insulated than ever from those who are different from them. How can we as Church intentionally seek out or create spaces of cultural and linguistic diversity? How can we practice appreciation for the gifts that each culture and language bring to our liturgies and customs within the Church, as well as to other institutions in our society?

The first Pentecost was not limited to the twelve apostles. Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and other women were surely with them as well. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are showered on all the People of God.

We may be disappointed for want of an impressive majestic display of the Holy Spirit such as wind and tongues of fire in our own lives. Yet we are reassured that equally powerful are the quiet, unseen, mysterious movements of the Spirit. Consider, for example, our prayer that the Holy Spirit descend “like the dewfall” upon the bread and wine at Mass. The dewfall appears gradually while we sleep, yet it leaves the scorched earth rejuvenated and refreshed.
