FEET ON THE GROUND “Until next week, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!” Not today’s scriptural wisdom, but legendary DJ Casey Kasem’s sage advice, heard across America for generations, American Top 40’s challenging sign-off. Though Casey wasn’t quoting scripture, today’s Acts of the Apostles offers similar advice. As Jesus ascended, disciples “were looking intently at the sky.” Wouldn’t we prefer a soul-relaxing gaze into peaceful blue skies to a heart-breaking focus on this bloodstained earth? But heavenly questioners asked Jesus’ first disciples, “Why are you standing there looking at the sky?” Earth awaited their mission! While our hearts should “keep reaching for” heaven, we need to “keep our feet on the ground.” Ascension’s scriptures and the Jubilee of Mercy remind us: the Jesus we revere as “ascended into heaven” lives right here among us on earth, awaiting our recognition and loving service.

THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
June 2, 2019
Prayer for Protection against Storms & Hurricanes
O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land, and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past Tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with passing of time.
Potluck Dinner St. Michael’s Hall June 22, 2019 after the 4:30pm Mass RSVP to Connie at 813-884-8326
O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our beloved Mother, we ask you to Plead with your Son on our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem, where stormless eternity awaits us. Amen. 4

La Ascensión del Señor
2 de junio de 2019
PIES EN EL PISO “¡Hasta la próxima semana, mantén tus pies en el suelo y sigue buscando las estrellas!” Hoy no es la sabiduría bíblica, sino el sabio consejo del legendario DJ Casey Kasem, escuchado por generaciones a lo largo y ancho de Estados Unidos por generaciones, el desafiante cierre de los Top 40 de Estados Unidos. Aunque Casey no citaba las Escrituras, hoy los Hechos de los Apóstoles ofrecen un consejo parecido. Cuando Jesús ascendió, los discípulos “miraban fijamente el cielo”. ¿No preferiríamos una mirada relajante del alma en un cielo azul tranquilo hasta un enfoque descorazonador en una tierra manchada de sangre? Pero los interlocutores celestiales preguntaron a los primeros discípulos, ¿por qué están parados ahí mirando el cielo? ¡La tierra espera su misión! Mientras nuestros corazones deben “seguir buscando en el cielo”, nosotros necesitamos “mantener nuestros pies en la tierra”. Los pasajes de la Ascensión y el jubileo de la misericordia nos recuerdan, el Jesús que veneramos cuando “ascendió al cielo” vive aquí mismo en medio de nosotros en la tierra, esperando nuestro reconocimiento y servicio amoroso. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Jesús les dice a los discípulos que recibirán el poder del Espíritu Santo (Hechos 1:1-11). Salmo — Entre voces de júbilo, Dios asciende a su trono (Salmo 47 [46]). Segunda lectura — Que el Padre de la gloria del Espíritu de sabiduría y revelación (Efesios 1:17-23) o Hebreos 9:24-28; 10:19-23. Evangelio — Los discípulos fueron testigos de todos los sucesos de la vida de Cristo. (Lucas 24:46-53). LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: La Ascensión del Señor; Jornada Mundial de las Comunicaciones Sociales Lunes: San Carlos Lwanga y compañeros Martes: Eid al-Fit’r (la fiesta musulmana al final de Ramadán) se celebra esta semana Miércoles: San Bonifacio Jueves: San Norberto; Ascensión del Señor en el calendario juliano Viernes: Primer viernes
