We present here the text that will be read at Sunday mass, the Feast of Pentecost, and we formulate some questions that might help us prepare to hear the reading.

19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."

20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."

22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

For adults:

- What are the disciples afraid of? And what are we afraid of?

- How does their fear turn to joy?

- What does the Holy Spirit work in us?

For children:

- Which first day of the week is being spo9ken about? Why are the doors locked?

- Why does Jesus show his disciples his hands and his side?

- What does Jesus give to his disciples?
