BISHOP'S MINISTRY APPEAL: “Moving Forward in Gratitude & Hope: Together As One"
If you missed your opportunity to support the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal, it is not too late. All of us share in the responsibility of sharing with others a portion of God’s Blessing. Please make your pledge to the BMA today. Pledge envelopes and BMA bulletins can be found in the vestibule area of the church and on the BMA page of our website.
Thank you to all those who have pledged their support to the parish and our local Church. To date, we have 381 families that have contributed $114,691. We are on the way to reaching our goal of 600 families and $150,363. We are doing great; however, we need everyone’s participation to be successful. Please keep in mind that there are many Diocesan ministries that serve our parishioners. This is our once-a-year opportunity to show the Diocese our support.
This year the amount set by the diocese for our parish is $150,363. We could reach this goal if 600 families donate $250 for the year (about $30 per month from February-October). If we do not meet the goal, we will have to make up the difference by using the money from our regular offertory though it is budgeted for parish expenses.
Please prayerfully plan to participate! Investing in the BMA means investing in the future of the Church!
To learn more about the BMA and how your support benefits the parishes and schools in our diocese, please click here.

Liturgy of the week
OUR PARISH -Ascension of the Lord / La Ascención del Señor
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem. . . and to the ends of the [E]arth. - Acts of the Apostles 1:8
God reigns over the nations, God sits upon his holy throne. - Psalm 47:9
. . . raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand. . . . - Ephesians 1:20
. . . they went forth and preached everywhere. . . . - Mark 16:20
From the gospel of two weeks ago, we heard Jesus say, “Remain in me. . . . without me you can do nothing” (John 15:4-5). Today we hear about the Holy Spirit empowering us to be witnesses. We are given the command to “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
We have a choice. Will we embrace and be open to the empowerment of the Holy Spirit or will we ignore and deny the gifts and the call to go out of ourselves to others for the sake of the gospel?

Marcos, 16 - Bíblia Católica Online
Del evangelio de hace dos semanas, escuchamos a Jesús decir: “Permanezcan en mí. . . . sin mí nada podéis hacer ”(Juan 15: 4-5). Hoy escuchamos que el Espíritu Santo nos da poder para ser testigos. Se nos da el mandato de “Id por todo el mundo y proclamad el evangelio a toda criatura” (Marcos 16:15).
Tenemos una opción. ¿Aceptaremos y estaremos abiertos al empoderamiento del Espíritu Santo o ignoraremos y negaremos los dones y el llamado a salir de nosotros mismos hacia los demás por el bien del evangelio?

FR. MARK'S REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES / REFLEXIONES Y ARTÍCULOS DEL P. MARK
FR. MARK'S REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES / REFLEXIONES Y ARTÍCULOS DEL P. MARK
7th Sunday of Easter - Ascension of the Lord
his year our celebrations of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are perhaps even more tender because we are “sheltering at home” and trying to make sure our aging parents do not feel too lonely because of the quarantine. My mother received phone calls and flowers and cards and cakes from her children and friends and even on the following day she received more flowers and cards and cakes! I think we are going to have to step it up when Father’s Day comes next month!
In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of his Father just before ascending into heaven. He assures them that he will send “the promise of the father.” These words remind us of the love of a good father who always keeps his promises. God himself is such a father. The Old Testament is a book of promises God made. He promised many things to us since he was about to make us his children. At various times, and using various words, he described how he would send his Son to become our brother. To Moses, he said: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kindred…” (Deuteronomy 18:18) and to King David he promised that one of his descendants would be the Messiah King who would rule forever (2Samuel 7). And God also promised to send the Holy Spirit of adoption to make us members of his divine family. This was the “promise of the Father” which Jesus spoke of in his last words before ascending.
What a beautiful Savior we have! He was concerned that his apostles would be very sad after he left them, and perhaps terribly disoriented because of their grief, and so Jesus lovingly gave very precise instructions:
“While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for, “the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1:4-5)
Let us be grateful that each one of us has been given “the promise of the Father.” Unfortunately, nowadays there are many fathers who do not make promises of love to their children, and if they do, they do not always keep them.
We who are Catholic Christians know that we can feel reassured. We are not orphans. We will always have a loving family in heaven, with God as our Father in heaven. And on earth are a tender loving spiritual family with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Mensaje de Padre Mark
Solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor
ste año, nuestras celebraciones del Día de la Madre y el Día del Padre son quizás aún más tiernas porque nos estamos "refugiando en casa" y tratando de asegurarnos de que nuestros padres ancianos no se sientan demasiado solos debido a la cuarentena. Mi madre recibió llamadas telefónicas y flores y tarjetas y pasteles de sus hijos y amigos e incluso al día siguiente recibió más flores, tarjetas y pasteles. ¡Creo que tendremos que dar un paso más cuando llegue el Día del Padre el próximo mes!
En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de su Padre justo antes de ascender al cielo. Les asegura que les enviará "la promesa del padre". Estas palabras nos recuerdan el amor de un buen padre que siempre cumple sus promesas. Dios mismo es un padre así. El Antiguo Testamento es un libro de promesas que Dios hizo. Nos prometió muchas cosas ya que estaba a punto de convertirnos en sus hijos. En varias ocasiones, y con varias palabras, describió cómo enviaría a su Hijo para convertirse en nuestro hermano. A Moisés le dijo: “Yo haré que se levante de en medio de sus hermanos un profeta, lo mismo que hice contigo.” (Deuteronomio 18:18) y al rey David le prometió que uno de sus descendientes sería el Rey Mesías que gobernaría para siempre (2Samuel 7). Y Dios también prometió enviar el Espíritu Santo de adopción para hacernos miembros de su familia divina. Esta fue la “promesa del Padre” de la que habló Jesús en sus últimas palabras antes de ascender.
¡Qué hermoso Salvador tenemos! Le preocupaba que sus apóstoles estuvieran muy tristes después de que él los dejara, y tal vez terriblemente desorientados debido a su dolor, por lo que Jesús dio amorosamente instrucciones muy precisas:
“En una ocasión en que estaba reunido con ellos les dijo que no se alejaran de Jerusalén y que esperaran lo que el Padre había prometido. 'Ya les hablé al respecto, les dijo:' Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados en el Espíritu Santo dentro de pocos días.” (Hechos 1:4-5)
Agradezcamos que a cada uno de nosotros se nos haya dado "la promesa del Padre". Lamentablemente, hoy en día hay muchos padres que no les hacen promesas de amor a sus hijos, y si lo hacen, no siempre las cumplen.
Los Cristianos Católicos sabemos que podemos sentirnos tranquilos. No somos huérfanos. Siempre tendremos una familia amorosa en el cielo, con Dios como nuestro Padre en el cielo. ¡Y en la tierra hay una tierna y amorosa familia espiritual con Jesús, María y José!

FR. MARK'S REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES / REFLEXIONES Y ARTÍCULOS DEL P. MARK
|
A message from Fr. Mark:
Happy Feast of St. Andre Bessette! January 6 is the anniversary of the death of “Frere Andre”, the miracle-worker of Montreal. When he died in 1937, approximately one million people came to his funeral services because he was famous for curing sick people. He would pray to St. Joseph, and many thousands of people were cured during his lifetime as well as after his death. Pope Francis has declared this year 2021 to be the year of St. Joseph, who is the most powerful saint in heaven! Let us be like St. Andre Bessette and try to increase our love for St. Joseph, so that he will help us love Our Lord and Our Lady as he did! I have written an article on St. Andre Bessette and St. Joseph. To read it, please click here. Fr. Mark Wagner To read Fr. Mark's articles, please click on the links below.

The USCCB created a short reflection on the 2020-2021 Respect Life theme, “Live the Gospel of Life.” It explores how Jesus becoming man and redeeming us through his humanity reveals the dignity of all human life and how the Gospel of life is therefore essential to our identity as followers of Christ.

“Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form.... ”
(Lúcia dos Santos, Visionary of Fátima)
The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”

CONFESSIONS/CONFESIONES
Confessions will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:00 PM and Saturday at 8:30 AM in front of the church.
“Peace be with you!” With these words, the Risen Lord greeted his frightened Apostles in the Upper Room on the day of his Resurrection. They were troubled, anxious, and fearful—much like each one of us at some point in our lives. Christ repeated the words, “Peace be with you.” But then he added, Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them” (Jn 20:19-23).
For your protection and the protection of our priests and everyone around you, please wear a mask and maintain safe social distancing of at least six (6) feet.

“¡La paz esté con ustedes!” Con estas palabras el Señor Resucitado saludó a sus asustados Apóstoles en el Cenáculo el día de su Resurrección. Estaban confundidos, ansiosos y temerosos, muy parecido a como nos sentimos nosotros en algún momento de nuestras vidas. Cristo repitió estas palabras, “La paz esté con ustedes.” Pero entonces añadió, “Reciban el Espíritu Santo. A quienes ustedes perdonen los pecados, queden perdonados” (Jn 20:19-23).
Para su protección y la protección de nuestros sacerdotes y de todos los que lo rodean, use un máscara y mantenga un distanciamiento social seguro de al menos seis (6) pies.

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. (Partial indulgence)
A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC
Please pray this prayer daily for an end to the Covid-19 pandemic.
O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection.
Amen.
Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
