Pastor’s Note—Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord - Year I, Cycle B
“Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you
into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”
The celebration of the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated in the liturgy during Easter, so that we
can we experience the last time the disciples saw Jesus after the Resurrection. It also brings us to an understanding of
where we are today as a Church. Jesus ascends in His resurrected body. He takes His place at the right hand of the
Father. We share in that place and glory as His body, the Church, through baptism. Yet, we remain here on earth. Jesus
leaves with a promise to return. When He returns, our own bodies will share in that same glory of the resurrection. We
remain so that we can be the experience of the resurrection for world. We bring that same message to others so that they
will come and be part of the same promise.
The disciples find themselves looking at the sky as Jesus ascended. When He was no longer in their sight, they kept
looking up. It shall not be so as they were reminded. We need to turn our gaze upon the rest of the world that have yet to
know the name of Jesus. We make this happen through the good that we do for others, the poor. We bring them life and
hope at moments they find themselves in despair. We make it happen when our life of prayer and worship is not a mere
fulfillment of an obligation but rather a recognition of its necessity in our lives and to never forget what lies before us.
We do so by coming to Mass every week not whenever it is convenient. Make prayer as a family a part of your daily
routine. A greater challenge before us is cultivating the need to study, learn, and deepen our understanding the teachings
of our faith. We do this so that it will further our confidence in sharing with others our faith.
I want to take a moment to extend my congratulations to our young brothers and sister who receive for the first time
the Body and Blood of Christ. The celebration of First Communion is good reminder for us of this great gift of Christ to
us. I thank the parents and guardians for continuing to fulfill the promises they made for these children during their
baptism --- being the primary teachers and examples of living the faith. We work together as an entire parish community
to ensure our First Communion candidates that they will see in us what the Eucharist means and does for us in our lives.
God bless!
Father Brian
Nota del Pastor- La Solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor
“Hombres de Galilea, ¿que hacéis allí parados mirando al cielo? Ese mismo Jesús, que os ha dejado para
subir al cielo, volverá como lo habéis visto marcharse.”
La celebración de la solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor se celebra en la liturgia durante la semana Santa para que
podamos experimentar la última vez que los discípulos vieron a Jesús después de la resurrección. También nos ayuda a
entender dónde estamos hoy como iglesia. Jesús asciende en su cuerpo resucitado y toma su lugar a la derecha del
Padre. Compartimos en ese lugar y gloria como su cuerpo, la iglesia, a través del bautismo. Todavía seguimos aquí en la
tierra. Jesús se va con la promesa de volver. Cuando El regrese, nuestros propios cuerpos compartirán la misma gloria
de la resurrección. Mantengámonos así para poder tener la experiencia de la resurrección para el mundo. Llevamos ese
mismo mensaje a otras personas para que ellos vengan y sean parte de la misma persona.
Los discípulos se encuentran mirando el cielo cuando Jesús ascendió. Cuando El ya no estaba a su vista, se
mantuvieron mirando hacia arriba. No sería así como ellos lo recordarán. Debemos volver nuestra mirada sobre el resto
del mundo que todavía no conoce el nombre de Jesús. Hacemos que esto suceda a través de nuestras buenas acciones
que hacemos para otros, los pobres. Les traemos vida y esperanza en los momentos cuando se encuentran en plena
desesperación. Lo hacemos cuando nuestra vida de oración y adoración no es un mero cumplimiento de una obligación,
sino más bien un reconocimiento de su necesidad en nuestras vidas y nunca olvidar lo que nos espera. Lo hacemos al
venir a misa cada semana, y no solo cuando nos es conveniente. Hacer oración como familia debe ser parte de su rutina
diaria. Un mayor desafío que tenemos ante nosotros, es cultivar la necesidad de aprender y profundizar en las
enseñanzas de nuestra fe. Hacemos esto para fortalecer aún más nuestra confianza al compartir con otros nuestra fe.
Quiero tomar un momento para extender mis felicitaciones a nuestros hermanos y hermanas jóvenes quienes reciben
por primera vez el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. La celebración de la Primera Comunión es un buen recordatorio del
gran regalo de Cristo para nosotros. Agradezco a los padres y tutores por continuar cumpliendo con las promesas que
hicieron a estos niños durante su bautismo—siendo los primeros maestros y ejemplos para vivir la fe. Trabajamos juntos
como una comunidad parroquial completa para asegurarnos que nuestros candidatos de Primera Comunión vean en
nosotros lo que la Eucaristía significa y hace en nuestras vidas.
Dios les bendiga,
Padre Brian

"The Wisdom of Genesis." An examination of
the opening chapters of Genesis in light of
commentaries by St. Augustine and St. Thomas. In
this talk, Dr. Paul O’Reilly, Thomas Aquinas
College, will explore how a look at Genesis through
the eyes of St. Augustine and St. Thomas reveals the
depths of meaning in the opening book of the Bible.
It is crucial for Catholics to understand, as St. John
Paul II put it, “The word of God is not addressed to
any one people or to anyone period of history.
Similarly, dogmatic statements, while reflecting at
times the culture of the people in which they were
defined, formulate an unchanging and ultimate
truth.” The presentation will be at 12:00pm on May
21, 2015 at the Red Lion Woodlake Hotel and
Conference Center, 500 Leisure Lane Sacramento.
Check-in begins at 11:30am. Cost: $30.00 pr epaid
