The Ascension of the Lord Dear Parishioners, A few years ago most of the Dioceses in the MONDAY, May 18 United States moved the celebration of Ascension 8:15 am Word/Communion Service from the Thursday 40 days after Easter to the 7th TUESDAY, May 19 Sunday of Easter. Doesn’t scripture tell us that the ✝ 8:15 am Susan Heisel by Cerise Harris Ascension took place 40 days after Easter? Yes, it WEDNESDAY, May 20 does, in the Acts of the Apostles written by Saint 8:15 am ✝Cecelia Heaton by Cerise Harris Luke. Now go and read the ending of the Gospel THURSDAY, May 21 of Luke and you find that here he has the Ascen- 8:15 am ✝Dave Crawford by Ray Rinas & Family sion taking place on the day of Resurrection, Easter FRIDAY, May 22 Sunday. The same author gives us two different 8:15 am ✝Bernard Boehm by Rosemary Boehm times; what are we to make of that? SATURDAY, May 23 Again, the Bible is not a strictly historical book. 8:15 am Word/Communion Service The Bible tells of many historical events and many 4:00 pm Parishioners of St. Bernadette of those are fairly accurate but the purpose of SUNDAY, May 24 Scripture is not to be a historical textbook. It is to 8:00 am ✝Carrie Storms by Family tell of God’s action with the people and how salva- 10:30 am ✝Jerry & Margie Billinger by Carol Fain tion has been brought to us. Luke uses the Gospel ✝Indicates Deceased account of Ascension to relate the completion of the mission of Jesus. He uses the account in Acts to indicate the preparation of the apostles and disci- ples to prepare for the Holy Spirit. QUESTION OF THE WEEK Ascension is not the only Holy Day to be moved Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord to a Sunday. Epiphany is the 6th of January; quite a Consecrated in truth while ago its celebration was moved to the nearest Reading I Acts 1:1–11 (Jesus’ final instructions Sunday. Likewise, Corpus Christi - the Body and and ascension) Blood of Jesus - in the majority of the world has Reading II Ephesians 1:17–23 (exaltation of Christ) been moved from the Thursday after Trinity Sun- Gospel Mark 16:15–20 (conclusion of Mark’s day to the Sunday after Trinity Sunday. This is gospel) why we need specific Catholic calendars. Key Passage: Mark 16:15 (go and proclaim the God bless, good news) Fr. Dave Adult: How well are you fulfilling Jesus’ command to share the good news with others? Readings for the Week Monday: Acts 19:1-8; Ps 68:2-3ab, 4-5acd, 6-7ab; Child: Why are Christians filled with hope? Jn 16:29-33 Reflection Tuesday: Acts 20:17-27; Ps 68:10-11, 20-21; Imagine walking through life with a giant placard Jn 17:1-11a around your neck that read “consecrated in truth.” In Wednesday: Acts 20:28-38; Ps 68:29-30, 33-36ab; fact, that is what you are and what your life is meant Jn 17:11b-19 to proclaim to the world. Jesus prays to the Father, Thursday: Acts 22:30; 23:6-11; Ps 16:1-2a, 5, 7-11; acknowledging that the world is a very difficult Jn 17:20-26 place for his disciples. Disciples of Jesus Christ live Friday: Acts 25:13b-21; Ps 103:1-2, 11-12, 19-20ab; in the world and embrace it as a gift from God, but Jn 21:15-19 they are necessarily unsettled, looking always for- Saturday: Acts 28:16-20, 30-31; Ps 11:4, 5, 7; ward to the Kingdom that is to come. How is it that Jn 21:20-25 Sunday: Vigil: Gn 11:1-9 or Ex 19:3-8a, 16-20b or you might place too much stock in the ways of the Ez 37:1-14 or Jl 3:1-5; Ps 104:1-2, 24, 35, world? What things of this world provide you the 27-30; Rom 8:22-27; Jn 7:37-39 comfort that keeps you from the unsettledness of a Day: Acts 2:1-11; Ps 104:1, 24, 29-31, 34; committed disciple? Remember, you are 1 Cor 12:3b-7, 12-13 or Gal 5:16-25; “consecrated in truth.” Jn 20:19-23 or Jn 15:26-27; 16:12-15 May 17, 2015 !Gracias!
