I pray these lines find all doing well. Summer is really sneaking up on us, graduations have already happened, and school will be out before you know it. This was always my favorite time of year – the very start of summer vacation, the whole summer was before us, don’t get me wrong – I liked school, but I LOVED vacation!!! Today we hear Jesus speaking with His Heavenly Father right after the last supper but before the passion and crucifixion. It has always been my experience that when someone knows that they are about to leave this world then what truly matters is all they think about – and understandably so. As Jesus is about to leave this world and return to the Father, He is praying for those that belong to Him, that includes us, YES, YOU who are reading this right now. When Jesus returns to the Father, He has completed His mission, He showed us how to love and how to live. He assures us that we each have a place in Heaven which we achieve by our way of life and our faith. He paved the road for us to find and follow Him. Today’s prayer, which is today’s Gospel is an assurance that before Jesus leaves, He has prayed and hoped for us that in our lifetime we live with our focus on Heaven! Have a great week! God Bless You Love, Fr. Mike
The office will be closed on Monday, May 30th in observance of Memorial Day! We will still have the 7am mass.

The Ascension of the Lord

“You are witnesses of these things.” That’s part of Christ’s parting message to the early Church, and therefore, to us. The truth of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection, and His salvation of the world, can only be communicated to the world through His witnesses. Through us, the Church. It’s a pretty incredible responsibility. But it’s also one that Christ equips us for: “behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you.” Even so, it’s one that we need respond to. If the Church doesn’t witness to Christ, then no one will. Obviously, a significant part of our responsibility to be Christ’s witnesses is to individually tell about Jesus and the Good News with those around us—in our families, friend groups, and work-places. But another part of this mission of evangelization is to support the Church, the community of witnesses. We’re currently in the midst of our diocesan Catholic Ministry Appeal. Donate today, and support this vital mission. Visit www.dosp.org/catholicministryappeal "Ustedes son testigos de esto". Esto es parte del mensaje de despedida de Cristo a la Iglesia antigua y también a nosotros. La verdad de la vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesús, al igual que su salvación para el mundo, solamente se pueden comunicar al mundo a través de sus testigos; a través de nosotros, la Iglesia. Es una gran responsabilidad que es también para la cual Cristo nos prepara: "Ahora yo les voy a enviar al que mi Padre les prometió". Y es una responsabilidad a la cual debemos responder. Si la Iglesia no es testigo de Cristo, entonces nadie más lo será. Por supuesto, una parte importante de nuestra responsabilidad como testigos de Cristo es contar a otros sobre Jesús y transmitir la buena nueva a quienes nos rodean, en nuestras familias, grupos de amigos y lugares de trabajo. Otra parte de esta misión de evangelización es apoyar a la Iglesia, la comunidad de testigos. Actualmente, estamos en medio de nuestra Campaña para los Ministerios Católicos. Haz tu donación hoy mismo y apoya esta importante misión.www.dosp.org/catholicministryappeal 4

The Ascension of the Lord
May 29, 2022
ENVIADO Hoy celebramos el regreso de Jesús al cielo. Si nos esforzamos por saber cómo sentirnos ante este evento, tomemos el ejemplo de los discípulos de Jesús. Estos discípulos son testigos de primera mano de la Ascensión, quienes después regresan a Jerusalén, donde “en el templo estaban continuamente alabando a Dios”. Compañeros del Señor por largo tiempo, ellos seguramente sienten el dolor de la separación física de Jesús. Sin embargo, alaban a Dios continuamente. Aceptan el plan de Dios, esperando el día en que Cristo vuelva. Como lo manifiesta nuestra lectura de la carta a los hebreos, Cristo regresará para “traer la salvación a quienes la esperan con ansia”. Esta Buena Nueva casi es demasiada para asimilarla; los Hechos de los Apóstoles explican que un ángel tiene que despertar a los discípulos de su letargo, recordándoles que deben comenzar la obra del Señor. Las lecturas de hoy son nuestro ángel, el cual nos envía con esperanza alegre.
