HOLY PENTECOST
The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live...Then he said to me, “Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.’ Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act, says the Lord.” (Ezekiel 37: 1-6; 11-14)
We heard the entirety of this remarkable text from Ezekiel chanted before the tomb of the Lord on Holy Friday evening. The reading anticipates both the Resurrection - and the General Resurrection - and Pentecost, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, bringing a new heart and a new spirit for the People of God. We were as dry bones, abandoned in the desert, in the grave, but in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are clothed in a new humanity, made alive by Grace, raised up, gathered, sanctified.
With the Feast of Pentecost we take up praying again: "O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth; everywhere present and filling all things; Treasury of blessings, and giver of life: come and abide in us, cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One!" Come, O Holy Spirit!
