      THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD (B) - May 20, 2012

      Acts 1: 1-11; Psalm 47; Ephesians 1: 17-23 - (Ephesians 4: 1-13); Mark 16:15-20

      Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run.

      From today’s Acts of the Apostles reading:

      When they had gathered together they asked [Jesus],

      "Lord are you now at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

      Reflection:

      The disciples put an anxious question to Jesus, one we too might ask. We grow weary of the mess our world is in and we look for relief. "Surely the time for Christ to return in his fulness is now!" we exclaim. We do not know "the times or seasons," but until Christ does return our lives are to reflect his holiness. We must live out our mission to spread the good news and minister, as his hands and feet, to all the world.

      So we ask ourselves:

      • As I await the Lord’s return what is the primary service I do in his name?
        • Where or how do I find nourishment to sustain my service?

      Anointing of the Sick

      Every first Wednesday of the Month at the 8:15 am Mass. 

      Next annointing June 6, 2012.


      The sacraments of Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick are the two sacraments which heal and save the baptized person from sin. We also recall that a sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace. The sign is the anointing of the forehead and palms of the hands with oil, which was blessed on Holy Thursday, specifically for this purpose. The grace comes in varied ways, spiritually and/or physically. The question arises, "Who should be anointed?" According to the Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, we include those who are undergoing surgery, the dying, the seriously ill of any age, the elderly and those who have been anointed before if the condition worsens. The illness may be one of mind, body or soul. Therefore, the Sacrament of Anointing can be administered to those who suffer from chronic illness, those who are seriously ill, those about to have surgery, the seriously handicapped, or those whose health continues to decline.

      Prayer for Protection of Conscience Rights

      Father, we praise you and thank you for your most precious gifts of human life and human freedom.

      Touch the hearts of our lawmakers with the wisdom and courage to uphold conscience rights and religious liberty for all. Protect all people from being forced to violate their moral and religious convictions.

      In your goodness, guard our freedom to live out our faith and to follow you in all that we do. Give us strength to be bold and joyful witnesses.

      We ask this through Christ, our Lord.

      Amen.
