CONTINUALLY PRAISING GOD In both the first reading and the Gospel we are told about Christ’s glorious ascension into heaven. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reminds us that Christ has been seated at God’s right hand in heaven, above every choir of angels. There might be a temptation to stay at an awed distance from Jesus Christ. However, the tone of today’s readings is far from that temptation. The tone is exultant and the message is urgent. We are to be his witnesses, and the Gospel describes the first witnesses this way: “[W]ith great joy . . . they were continually in the temple praising God” (Luke 24:53). How can we continually praise God? The answer can be found in the second reading, in which Paul prays that God will give us a “Spirit of wisdom and revelation” in order to know Christ clearly (Ephesians 1:17). We cannot stand at a distance. We are to be enlightened and empowered. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CONTINUAMENTE ALABANDO A DIOS Tanto la primera lectura como el Evangelio nos cuentan la gloriosa Ascensión de Cristo al cielo. La carta de san Pablo a los efesios nos recuerda que Cristo está sentado a la derecha de Dios en el cielo, por encima de todos los coros de ángeles. Puede que tengamos la tentación de mantenernos a reverencial distancia de Jesucristo. Sin embargo, el tono de las lecturas de hoy dista mucho de esa tentación. El tono es exuberante y el mensaje es urgente. Hemos de ser sus testi-gos, y el Evangelio describe a los primeros testigos de esta manera: “Muy alegres. . . permanecían constantemente en el templo alabando a Dios” (Lucas 24:53). ¿Cómo podemos alabar a Dios continuamente? La respuesta se encuentra en la segunda lectura, en la cual Pablo pide a Dios que nos conceda un “espíritu de sabiduría y de reflexión” para conocer a Cristo claramente (Efesios 1:17). No podemos mantenernos a distancia. Vamos a ser iluminados y fortalecidos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

We have Adoration in the Chapel every Friday from 9:30am to 7:15pm. On First Friday

Adoration lasts throughout the night. Our lives are so busy, we could all use a little

quiet time with our Lord. Don’t just squeeze Him in, make your time with Him

a priority.

Tenemos adoración en la capilla todos los viernes de 9:30 a 7:15. Primer Viernes adoración dura toda la noche Nuestras vidas están tan ocupa-

Mother’s Day Spiritual Bouquet - It’s not too late!

There are Spiritual Bouquet Mass cards available in the vestibules of the church and at

the parish office. Prayer is the best gift of all and no one needs prayers more than mothers! So

pick up a Mass card for the mother (or mothers) in your life.

(Remove the card from the inside of the envelope to give to your mother—fill out the “outer envelope” with their name—

check the boxes that apply—and we will place the envelopes on the altar during the week after Mother’s Day when we offer

Masses for the names on the envelopes. For those who are de-ceased, you can make a list to place in one envelope.)

Today is Mother’s Day! Take mom to breakfast after Mass

in the parish hall. St. Clare’s Youth Ministry is sponsoring breakfast today and moms eat free.

What a bargain! Pancakes, scrambled eggs and fresh fruit—

is on the menu and will be served with coffee and a smile! (and mom will be thrilled to spend the

morning with you!)

AND NEXT WEEK: Our Youth Ministry World Youth Day Pilgrims will be selling Kryspy Kreme donuts after each Mass. Buy one for $1.00 or a dozen for $10.00. Stop by their display

and meet our pilgrims who will be traveling to Poland this sum-mer for an international youth celebration and Mass with the

Holy Father, Pope Francis.

BABY BOTTLE BOOMERANG

This weekend baby bottles will be distributed for the SCV Pregnancy Center. We

ask that you take them home, fill them with your change and return them by Father’s Day. All

change will be counted and donated to the SCV Pregnancy Center. As Catholics—we believe

in and promote the Right to Life!

The Knights will be hosting a free movie night on Friday, May 13 at 6:30 in Renehan Hall. Bring your family and friends for a fun evening! We’ll have free popcorn and drinks while we watch a family friendly movie. This time, we’ll be watching a movie about a busi-ness that scares because it cares. See you there!

Next Weekend The Knights of Columbus will host a food drive to restock the shelves of the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry. Please think of them while doing your own shopping . They will be collect-ing groceries and/or monetary dona-tions—made out to the SCV Food Pantry— before and after the Saturday

5:30pm Mass—before the 7pm Mass on Saturday and at all Masses on Sunday.

Religious Education News Seventh Sunday of Easter: John 17:20-26

Gospel Reflection: Jesus calls us his gifts from his Father. Likewise, mothers are God’s gifts to us, His children. Mothers provide the unconditional love that Jesus expressed throughout his life. What does the R.E. program offer? General catechesis classes for children in grades 1-8. These courses provide the children with weekly Gospel readings, core Catholic teachings, and discussions of scared traditions. The classes utilize multi-media and crafts to meet the various learning styles of the children. Children, in need of receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist, are placed in classes which are age appropriate, and specialize in sacramental preparation. A child is in the sacramental preparation classes for 2 years. The Junior High program, for children in grades 7-8, focuses on exploring Catholic teachings to modern day issues and reinforcing the role of Christ in a teen’s life. In addition, we offer a Sunday pre-school program during the 9AM mass. This class is for young children between the ages 3-5.

New families: You will need to bring your child/children’s original baptismal certificate and be registered at St. Clare’s Parish for priority enrollment.

Feel a call to evangelize your faith and disciple to the youth of our parish?

Volunteer Catechist Information The Office of Religious Education is looking for men and women to join our ministry working with St. Clare families in bringing children and youth closer in relationship to Jesus Christ through sacramen-tal preparation classes, and general catechesis of the Roman Catholic Church. This ministry is active from late August to mid-May. Volunteer catechists commit to teaching once a week during the school year.

Teachers and aides are needed for grades 1-8. Training opportunities are available for all new catechists

The CRS Lenten Rice Bowls project provides funds for the nutritional, medical and educational needs of children in Colombia, Laos, Rwanda, Honduras and Madagascar.
