Ascension
Of The Lord
“And behold, I am with you always, until the end
of the age.” What consoling words Jesus had for his
disciples, even as he was about to bring an end to his
earthly ministry. He had spent some time with them
after his resurrection, but now his mission was
complete and he was about to return to be with his
Father in heaven. Undoubtedly this must have been a
difficult moment for the disciples. But as if to reassure
them, Jesus gives this remarkable promise: that he will
always be with them, even when he is no longer
physically present. We know, of course, that the
presence he is referring to comes through the gift of the
Holy Spirit. And what is most wonderful about this
promise is that it also applies to us!
Jesus is with us always. His presence dwells in our
hearts through the sacrament of baptism in which we
receive the real, indwelling gift of the Holy Spirit in our
hearts. We are not alone! The sometimes difficult
journey of Christian life is not one we need to navigate
solo. Christ himself ascended into heaven so that he
could make himself present in a more universal and
timeless way through his Spirit to all people who call
upon him. Thus we rejoice on this feast of the
Ascension. It’s not so much about Jesus leaving.
Rather, it’s about him continuing his mission in a new
way, a way that includes us very directly.
So let us remember that Jesus is present with us, even
when we cannot see him next to us or hear his voice
loud and clear. Let us call upon his Holy Spirit when
we need guidance, comfort, or direction. And today, let
us give thanks to God the Father for sending his Son to
save us and for giving us his Spirit to accompany us on
our own journey of life.
Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions

General Intention: That national leaders may firmly
commit themselves to ending the arms trade, which
victimizes so many innocent people.

Dear Parishioners
This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend when we
remember all those who gave their lives in service to
our Country. This is an appropriate time to contemplate
how we all have been blessed by their sacrifice.
We should take time to pray for the repose of their souls
and to ask the Lord to bless with His peace and
comfort their loved ones who mourn their loss. We
invite all to join us for our special Memorial Day Mass
celebrated on Monday May 29th at 10:00 am at the
Sacred Heart of Mary Cemetery on German Hill Road.
This weekend is also the unofficial beginning of
Summer. I hope these upcoming months allow you to
reconnect with family and friends and have the
opportunity to take some time to "slow down" and get
some meaningful period of rest.
May God bless you and your loved ones each and every
day with an abundance of His Blessings.
Fr. George
