FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER | MAY 2, 2021

May is Mary’s month, and I Muse at that and wonder why: Her feasts follow reason, Dated due to season—

Candlemas, Lady Day; But the Lady Month, May, Why fasten that upon her, With a feasting in her honour? . . .

Their magnifying of each its kind With delight calls to mind How she did in her stored Magnify the Lord.

Well but there was more than this: Spring's universal bliss Much, had much to say To offering Mary May.

Fr. Gerard Manley Hopkins 1844-1889

Due to the lack of representation from the East, the status of Lateran Council I is a matter of dispute between Catholics and the Orthodox.

 Ouch! Talk about firing up the squad. An NFL player returned to his alma mater (University of Arizona) and set a world record by catching a football dropped 600 feet from a helicopter! He achieved the feat on the third try, but I cannot imagine how much it must have hurt. The ball was estimated to have been traveling at 127 miles per hour.

 I deeply appreciate your attention to social distancing by six feet between different households. While I take seriously any study ema- nating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), we also strive to cooperate with the common good by means of observ- ing state protocols for the pandemic. The MIT study concludes that time inside is far more significant than distancing. Nevertheless, your cooperation is vital; we strive to keep our liturgies to under an hour.  Though Napoléon Bonaparte died in exile 200 years ago this Wednesday (May 5,1821) on the island of St. Helena, his impact upon the Catholic Church in France is felt to this day. His combative rela- tionship with the papacy (he kidnapped two popes!) following the French Revolution is widely known. The Revolution produced count- less martyrs whose lives inspired generations.
