PILGRIMAGE TO ITALY

Today we celebrate Christ’s ascension into heaven and his commissioning of the disciples to carry on his mission in the world. First we hear Luke’s description of those events in the opening verses of the Acts of the Apostles. Next we hear words of encouragement and guidance from the Letter to the Ephesians. Finally we hear Mark’s account of the Ascension, foretelling the mighty words and acts the Christian community would do in Jesus’ name. Together these scriptures give us a vision of the mission of the church of Jesus Christ—a mission statement of sorts. Like mission statements in our parishes and corporations, this mission statement can help us set priorities and focus our activities. It can guide and support us as we strive to continue Christ’s messianic mission on earth. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Jesus tells the disciples that they will be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:1-11). Psalm — God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47). Second Reading — God seated Jesus at his right hand in the heavens (Ephesians 1:17-23)or Ephesians 4:1-13 Gospel — The Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven. (Mark 16:15-20). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

In Ireland and the United Kingdom, Mother’s Day is over. “Mothering Sunday” was on the Fourth Sunday of Lent. Long ago, people were freed from work to travel on this day to the parish where they were baptized, their “Mother Church.” Often, people were reunited with their mothers on this day. Employers would release their workers and servants for this visit. The American celebration, while based on this custom, really has to do with an anti-war movement of mothers in Civil War times. They crusaded for better sanitary conditions for their sons. When President Wilson instituted the first Mother’s Day in 1912, it was a day to fly the flag in honor of mothers whose children had died in battle. Knowing the tradition is a good balance to our celebration

today, we can enfold in prayer the mothers who have suffered the loss of their children in war. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Please pray for our 7 confirmands who will be receiving the sacrament of Confirmation from Bishop Noonan next Sunday at 2:00 PM at St. Timothy, Lady Lake.

Time to register for the 2018 - 2019 school year. May only: $15.00 for one child ` $25.00 for two or more Please contact Linda Jones, Olga Miyar or Cathy O’Donnell at 347-0154 for further information.

La Ascensión del Señor

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

SEGUNDA COLECTA

PEQUEÑA COMUNIDAD CRISTIANA

Hoy celebramos la Ascensión de Cristo al cielo y su elección de los discípulos para que continuaran su misión en el mundo. Primero escuchamos la descripción de Lucas de dichos acontecimientos en los primeros versículos de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Luego escuchamos palabras de aliento y consejo en la carta a los efesios. Por último, escuchamos el relato de Marcos de la Ascensión, que predice las poderosas palabras y obras que la comunidad cristiana hará en nombre de Jesús. Juntas, estas lecturas nos brindan una visión de la misión de la Iglesia de Jesucristo, una especie de declaración de misión. Como las declaraciones de misión de nuestras parroquias y empresas, esta declaración de misión puede ayudarnos a establecer prioridades y enfocar nuestras actividades. Puede guiarnos y apoyarnos mientras luchamos por continuar la misión mesiánica de Cristo en la tierra. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Jesús se elevó en presencia de los discípulos (Hechos 1:1-11). Salmo — Dios asciende entre aclamaciones, el Señor, al son de trompetas (Salmo 47 [46]). Segunda lectura — Dios Padre sentó a Jesús a su derecha en los cielos (Efesios 1:17-23) o Efesios 4:1-13 [1-7, 11-13]. Evangelio — Jesús fue llevado al cielo (Marcos 16:15-20).

El día 15 de mayo los campesinos de Ichocán, Perú adornan sus yugos, y las puertas de sus casas con el fruto de sus cosechas en honor a san Isidro Labrador. Muchos países Latinoamericanos celebran esta fiesta. En un continente donde la agricultura es tan importante no hay que sorprenderse de la importancia de este santo español del siglo XII. Además san Isidro se parece a mucha gente de Latinoamérica: es de padres campesinos, de familia pobre y religiosa, no fue a la escuela, quedó huérfano y se empleó como peón de campo, ayudando en la agricultura. Se casó con María la cual también llego a ser santa. Tuvieron un hijo. Los tres fueron reconocidos como piadosos y generosos. Gracias a Dios, la santidad se encuentra en todo tipo de persona. Los casados y padres y madres de familia también llegan a ser santos. Después de su muerte en 1130 se descubrió que su cuerpo estaba milagrosamente incorrupto. En 1622 el Papa canonizó a este humilde campesino junto con algunos grandes religiosos como santa Teresa, san Ignacio y san Francisco Javier. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.
