Šum viharja in ognjeni jeziki
Jezus je na veliko noč učencem naročil, naj do prihoda Svetega Duha ne odhajajo iz Jeruzalema. Judje so binkošti obhajali petdeseti dan po veliki noči kot spomin na sinajsko zavezo. V Jeruzalem so se zgrnile, tako kot za veliko noč, množice Judov iz Palestine in mnogih drugih dežel.
Učenci so bili zbrani v Jeruzalemu v hiši, v kateri so se navadno zbirali. Nenadoma je po vsem prostoru, v katerem so sedeli, močno zašumelo, kot bi prihajal silovit vihar, in nad vsakim od njih se je prikazal jezik, podoben plamenu. To je bilo znamenje prihoda Svetega Duha, ki je vse zbrane, ne samo apostole, ampak tudi učence in žene, skupaj z Marijo, napolnil z Božjim ognjem in jim dal, da so začeli v tujih jezikih oznanjati velika Božja dela. Vihar in ogenj sta podoba Svetega Duha, njegove nadnaravne moči, ki požiga greh in čisti duše, razsvetljuje razum ljudi in greje njihova srca. Dar govorjenja v tujih jezikih, ki je bil znan že pri nekaterih prerokih v stari zavezi, je nakazal vesoljno poslanstvo Cerkve: ta je poslana oznanjat evangelij vsem narodom. Sveti Duh je obnovil jezikovno in siceršnjo enotnost, ki sta bili uničeni ob babilonskem stolpu, verne združil v eno Božje ljudstvo.
V Jeruzalemu so tedaj živeli Judje z vseh koncev znanega sveta, ki so se iz zdomstva vrnili v domovino očetov. Poleg njih se je pa, kot rečeno, nabralo tudi veliko romarjev. Pisatelj Apostolskih del jih našteje po vrstnem redu, od vzhoda proti zahodu. Ko so ti ljudje zvedeli za čudež, ki se je zgodil nad Jezusovimi učenci, so se nagnetli skupaj. Niso se mogli dovolj načuditi temu, da so slišali učence govoriti vsak v svojem jeziku. Nekateri so se norčevali, češ da so se učenci napili vina. Tedaj je nastopil Peter kot voditelj apostolov in množici povedal, kaj se je v resnici zgodilo. Spolnile so se napovedi prerokov: Jezus iz Nazareta je vstal od mrtvih, se vrnil k Očetu in poslal Svetega Duha, kot je obljubil. Bog je naredil Jezusa za Gospoda in Odrešenika. »Spreobrnite se, dajte se krstiti, da se vam odpustijo grehi, in prejeli boste Svetega Duha!« Tisti dan se je dalo krstiti kakšnih tri tisoč ljudi.

Materinski dan pri sv. Gregoriju Velikem v Hamiltonu
V	nedeljo, 13. maja 2018 smo materinski dan praznovali tudi pri sv. Gregoriju Velikem.
Že v sobto so potekale priprave v kuhinji in dvorani. Pomagali so: Peter in Linda Novak, Karolina Tran (Kolmanič), Alexandra Curkovič, Patricia Hill (Prebil) in Tony Horvat v baru. Slovenska šola je preskrbela rože za mize, oltarno društvo pa rože za oder. Mateja je s svojim razredom naslikala lepo dekoracijo na obeh straneh odra. Gospa Eržen pa je darovala rože, ki so jih delili mamicam.
V	nedeljo dopoldne smo se ob 10h zbrali pri sveti maši. Cerkev je bila kar prilično polna. Pri maši so peli: mešani zbor, moški zbor Majolka in angleški zbor. Ker nismo imeli organista je Ivan Mertuk »prtisnil gube in orgle so zaigrale« posneto intonacijo za slovenske pesmi. Hvala tudi Johnu Horvatu, ki je vodil zbor. Ob koncu maše je navzoče pozdravila in nagovorila predsednica župnijskega sveta, Heidy Novak in povabila, da bi se protovoljci javili za pomoč pri organizaciji Slovenskega dneva, ki bo 23. junija v naši župniji.
Po maši smo nekateri nadaljevali praznovanje v dvorani. Nancy Taylor (Dundek) je skuhala dobro kosilo in vsak, si je postregel. Pomagala ji je njena mama in prijateljica Kasha. Tony Horvat in Kiet Tran sta imela čez bar. Vera in Frank Marič sta poskrbela za dekoracijo pri vhodu v dvorano. Malo pred dvanajsto pa se je začel program, ki so ga pripravili otroci Slovenske šole pod vodstvom učiteljic: Sandy, Lorie in Mateje. Najprej so otroci ob spremljavi kitare župnika zapeli 23 slovenskih pesmic -nekatere so govorile o mamicah druge so bile ali narodne ali otroške. Vmes pa so se zvrstile recitacije otrok.
Najmlajši - Lily Tran, Jennifer Taylor, Triston
248 | VESTNIK 2018
Taylor in Lauren Hill, učenci učiteljice Mateje Mihelčič so skupaj recitirali pesmico:
Mami brez tebe težko bi bilo, ob tebi in s tabo pa res je lepo. Zato za tvoj praznik izrekam glasno, »Mamica s tabo zares je lepo!« Temu dodam še stavek Poznan, »Mamica draga rad/a te imam!«
Učenca učiteljice Lorie Mramor sta recitirala naslednjo pesem:
Marcus Curkovič :
Mama te nosi devet mesecev pod srcem.
Mama, ki ti je vedno na voljo!
Mama dala bi življenje zate!
Mama - edina ženska,
ki ji lahko vse verjameš,
pa tudi če veš, da ni res!
Alyssia Taylor: Mamica moja, v naročje me vzemi, nežno in toplo me k sebi prižemi. Naj bo tvoj praznik le s srečo pretkan, naj vsak dan za naju mamic bo dan!
V drugi skupini so bili učenci ravnateljice Sandy Ferletič. Recitirali so pesem:
TEBI, MATI, Nica Černejeva
To so tvoje tople roke, ki so k sebi me privile, ko so moje mlade misli zadnjo vero izgubile, ko so moje mlade misli nad življenjem ostrmele.
Marcela Milosavljevič: To so tvoje tople roke, ki so tiho me objele in peljale v novo srečo, v belo srečo duše tvoje: Daj, varuj življenja drugih, da pozabiš sama svoje!
Ana Marie Horvat:
To je tvoja močna duša, ki mi je nov svet odprla, ko je v starem zadnja lučka dogorela in umrla, ko so moje mlade želje svojo sončno pot zgrešile.
Gragory Horvat:
To je tvoja močna duša, ki mi daje nove sile in prižiga v mojem srcu lučko novega spoznanja, da je sreča le v bogastvu dajanja in darovanja.
Učenci učiteljice Lorie Mramor pa so recitirali: NEZKONČNA LJUBEZEN, Zvezdana Majhen
Neskončna ljubezen, /Lukar Tran/ ki večno žari, se že pred rojstvom dojenčka rodi.
Nihče ne presega /Alexandra Novak/ njenih darov, že s praga jih čutim, ko pridem domov. Neskončna ljubezen /Jane Bosiljevac/ je ena sama, ves svet jo kliče: LJUBLJENA MAMA!
Program je povezovala Ava Bosiljevac. Na koncu programa je ravnateljica Sandy še podelila diplome učencem zadnjega razreda:
Ava Bosiljevac, Rok Curkovič, Marcela Milosavljevič.
Hvala vsem, ki ste se udeležili programa in podprli prizadevanje otrok in učiteljic, da bi tudi najmlajši člani naše slovenske skupnosti dobili vsaj nekaj osnov in znanja slovenskega jezika in poznavanje kulture. Nekateri mislijo, da če nimajo otrok ali vnukov v Slovenski šoli, da jim ni potrebno priti na to prireditev; pa ni res, prav s svojo navzočnostjo mlade vzpodbudimo, da je lepo, da se učijo in ohranjajo slovenski jezik.

Pentecost Sunday
Response:
Lord, send forth your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
First Reading Acts 2:1-11
On the final day of Passover, Jesus' disciples receive the Holy Spirit in a way that recalls the giving of the Law to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
Second Reading Galatians 5:16-25
The fruits of the Holy Spirit are so much different from other fruits. Only the Holy Spirit can bring the fruits of love, peace, patience, gentleness.
Gospel John 15:26-27; 16:12-15
The Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will be Jesus' witness when he comes, and, through the Spirit, Jesus' followers also become his witnesses.
"They were all filled with the Holy Spirit."
Illustration
They say it's all in the preparation. Any task that needs to be done well needs to be prepared well. Chefs will tell you this is true; musicians, artists, sportsmen and sportswomen. It is also true of some major biblical events, and certainly when God approached Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai, in preparation for the people receiving the stone tablets of God's Law. On that occasion, Moses and the people gathered at the foot of the mountain.
People prepared for three days during which Moses consecrated them to the Lord. On the third day, they discovered what they had been preparing
for. It was dramatic. The mountain was covered in smoke, because the Lord came in fire. The whole mountain shook, and the noise of what sounded like a trumpet got louder and louder. Moses climbed the mountain and was given the Law, the way in which God reached out to all of them, inviting them into a relationship as God's children. This tale gives the background to the first reading for our feast of Pentecost, and the experience of the disciples in the room where they were gathered for the Jewish feast of Pentecost. Luke, the author of Acts, cleverly tells this story against the background of this Mount Sinai experience.
Gospel Teaching
Pentecost was and is a major feast for Jewish people. It marked the end of Passover, just as for Christians it marks the end of Easter. The feast of Pentecost came about because of the belief that God gave the Law to Moses fifty days after the Israelites left Egypt. Since the events of the death and resurrection of Jesus were related to the Jewish Passover, it was perfectly logical for Luke in the Acts of the Apostles to connect the sending of the Holy Spirit to the final act of Passover - Pentecost.
Luke fully recognises that the Holy Spirit came on different groups of people in different places and at different times, and gives examples of these in Acts. John's Gospel speaks of Jesus giving the Holy Spirit to the disciples in the upper room on the day of resurrection, so it would be wrong to think of Pentecost as in any way a one-off occasion. Rather, Luke
252 | VESTNIK 2018
presents Pentecost in the upper room as the fulfilment of the giving of the Law: hence what seemed like fire descended on the disciples - as there was when God descended on Sinai. There was noise that sounded like a tremendous wind - like the noise of trumpets at Sinai. And the house seemed to shake - as did Mount Sinai as God descended.
The result of this dramatic scene is a powerful witness to the risen Christ by those who had just received the Holy Spirit. Now neither limited by their own fear, nor impeded by the barrier of different languages, the arrival of the Holy Spirit creates confident disciples, and they achieve what Jesus promised they would through the Holy Spirit. Today's Gospel speaks of the Spirit who witnesses to Jesus, and the disciples who will also witness because they receive the Spirit. This Spirit leads disciples to the complete truth.
Application
Clearly, the gift of the Spirit is not limited to the first generation of disciples, or even subsequent disciples in the Acts of the Apostles. It is often pointed out that the book of the Acts of the Apostles doesn't come to an end; it merely stops at a particular point. The reason is that the story is still being constructed, and by us who are the present-day disciples in the tale of Jesus' witnesses, because we too are empowered by the Spirit. We use the word
"Paraclete" to describe the Holy Spirit. This is a word that was known to Jews and Gentile alike. For the Gentiles - Roman and Greek - a Paraclete was a legal representative; for the Jews, a Paraclete meant a comforter, a counsellor. The presence of the Spirit keeps us in the knowledge of God, and enables us to experience the presence of God. St Paul reminds us how we recognise the presence and action of the Spirit in ourselves and in others. The Spirit is never found in anger, jealousy, self-indulgence, immorality. Rather, the Spirit is found where there is peace, joy, love, kindness, truthfulness, self-control. Where we see these, says Paul, we see the Spirit of God. When we do these, we are witnesses to the risen Christ.
