We Remember!
My Dear Spiritual Family,
This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, when we remember all of the sacrifices made for our freedom. We remember, and so we cherish the great gift of this nation, now entrusted to our generation, for us to keep alive and carry forward. By remembering the sacrifices made on our behalf, we keep that memory alive.
This weekend as we spend time appreciating the great gift of the Living Bread that Jesus shares with us, we are also focused on memory, on remembrance. Jesus teaches, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world” (Jn 6:51). That beautiful promise is our focus leading up to Corpus Christi.
Stronger Together
Dear Parish Family,
This weekend we celebrate the Ascension of Our Lord, body, and soul, into heaven. After forty days of special instruction with the raised and glorified Jesus, it is time for him to return to the Father.
His parting words are now called the great commissioning, when Jesus entrusts the continued mission to his followers: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Mt 28:19-20) These are the last words in Matthew’s Gospel, what a climactic conclusion!
Unity of Divine Indwelling
Dear Parish Family,
Happy Mother’s Day Everyone! To all our mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, foster-mothers, and mother figures, we wish you a happy and blessed day. May God bless you with his graces as he blessed the Mother of the Savior. As we honor Mother Mary by crowning her at all the Masses this weekend, permit me to share an article with you that explains more about Mary as Ark of the New Covenant. She is truly the one who makes present in the world our God in the flesh, so that we might receive him and be transformed.
Last week we began walking towards Corpus Christi (June 11th) by kicking off a message series called Living Bread. Jesus tells us, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” (Jn 6:51). That living bread and our life in Christ will be the focus of our eucharistic message series.
