(Luke 3:16)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The pools of Bethesda in today&#8217;s Gospel were believed to have healing properties. And yet, &#8220;one man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years&#8221; remained so because he had not yet entered the waters. He said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, mono; font-size: small;\">I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">It so happens that many of us are cradle Catholics; we attend parochial schools, Sunday Mass, receive the Sacraments, join the Knights of Columbus, CWL, etc. &#8230;and yet, there is something in us that remains dormant. Our spirit remain listless, disconnected from our daily lives. And that is because, like the pools of Bethsaida, we have not yet been &#8220;stirred up&#8221; by the Holy Spirit. St. Paul even says to Timothy:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, mono; font-size: small;\">I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands&#8230; (1 Tim 1:6)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">What does this mean? Can we not say that many Catholics are much like the Apostles? These twelve men stayed with Jesus for three years, and yet often lacked wisdom, zeal, courage, and a thirst for the things of God. <em>That all changed with Pentecost<\/em>. The whole course of their lives was set on fire.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">I have witnessed this in my own life now for four decades\u2014priests, nuns, and laymen alike who suddenly felt an incredible zeal for God, a hunger for the Scriptures, a new impulse for ministry, prayer, and the things of God <em>after being filled with the Holy Spirit. <\/em><span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_18510_1('footnote_plugin_reference_18510_1_6');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_18510_1('footnote_plugin_reference_18510_1_6');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_18510_1_6\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[6]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_18510_1_6\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">There is a mistaken notion in the Church that after Baptism and Confirmation, we do not need to be &#8220;filled with the Holy Spirit.&#8221; However, we see in Scripture the contrary: after Pentecost, the Apostles were gathered together on another occasion, and the Spirit fell upon them again like a &#8220;new Pentecost&#8221;.
