What to Do When There Is No Peace | Pentecost Sunday
from Encyclopedia of Catholic Theology · host ECT+ and Cajetan Cuddy, O.P.
Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on John 20 and the gift of the Holy Spirit. The disciples are afraid, hiding behind locked doors. Yet Jesus comes to them, bringing peace and instituting the sacrament of confession.Even today, we can feel distant from Christ—held back by fear, sin, or shame. But the Gospel reveals a powerful truth: nothing can separate us from Jesus.St. Paul teaches that “no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit.” When we invoke the holy name of Jesus, we are not alone. The Spirit is already at work, drawing us into union with Christ.The name of Jesus is not just a word—it is a prayer, a presence, and a path to peace. This is a public episode.
