So let us take courage from today's Gospel. Jesus himself offered prayers on behalf of his followers. "I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for the ones you have given me." As the followers of Christ, we have the benefit of his own desire to help us, to strengthen us even amidst the challenges that we face. He knows that we "are in the world" even though he is not here in the same way. And he has asked God the Father to share his divine bless- ings with us even as we make our way in this world. “I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord. I will come back to you, and your hearts will rejoice..”(Jn 17:1-11)

The Ascension of the Lord
May 28, 2017
The Ascension of the Lord "Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ." The Easter season is resplendent with the joy of eternal life. Jesus conquered death through his resurrection and promises all believers a share in this miraculous triumph. The gates of heaven have been opened for us by the great sacri-fice of our Savior. All good things lie in wait for us who know "the only true God" and his Son, Jesus Christ. When we gather together in our communities of faith, it's easy to remember all of this. We share common beliefs and practices with those friends, family members, and neighbors who attend our church. But carrying the joy of Easter with us out into the "world" can be more of a challenge. Once we step outside the safe confines of our parish or home, we encounter those who do not know the true God. We work with, study with, encounter, or gather with many people who have forgotten, abandoned, or never even known Jesus. Sometimes this can make us hesitant to share our joy, or even apologetic for our beliefs. But of course we are called to be witnesses of what we believe, not cow-ards who hide it from public view. So let us take courage from today's Gospel. Jesus himself offered prayers on behalf of his followers. "I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for the ones you have given me." As the followers of Christ, we have the benefit of his own desire to help us, to strengthen us even amidst the challenges that we face. He knows that we "are in the world" even though he is not here in the same way. And he has asked God the Father to share his divine bless-ings with us even as we make our way in this world.
“I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord.
I will come back to you, and your hearts will rejoice..”(Jn 17:1-11)

Help us pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, we turn to You in this time of illness. 0 dearest Com-forter of the Troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands. We place our sick under Your care and humbly ask that You restore Your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will and know that what-soever You do, You do for the love of us.
