THE BIBLE
HISPANIC EYES
.....
Significantly, in the book of Acts the first consequence of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples—men and women, the Twelve as well as the others—is their ability to communicate. Thanks to the Spirit, these disciples can communicate with a variety of peoples; and their communication is not centripetal or imperialistic. The Spirit does not impose on all the language of the original disciples, but rather makes it possible for various people to understand “each in their own native language.” From the very outset, the Spirit makes the church truly catholic by including in it a variety of languages and cultural perspectives—even though, as the rest of the book of Acts and the entire history of the church show, on this score Christians have constantly and repeatedly resisted the Spirit.
Thus, if I dare offer to the church at large these reflections on “the Bible through Hispanic eyes,” it is first of all trusting in the Spirit of God, who will create communication while respecting our differences, and build intimacy while affirming our distinct identities. And it is also trusting that the Spirit, who enriched the church with Elamites, Parthians, Cappadocians, Greeks, Anglo-Saxons, and all the rest, will also see fit to enrich the church and its understanding of the Scripture with the gifts and perspectives that we Latinos offer to the whole.
