Jesus knew that his mission was not to be continued by mere humans; on our own authority and power we could not give true witness and our doubts and misunder-standings could never be overcome. Jesus knew that his mission could be entrusted to his disciples because they “will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon” them. It is the Spirit who resolves doubt, clears up misunderstanding about the mis-sion, gives wisdom, revelation, and knowledge. Thus, being disciples of Jesus is not something we are alone. We are disciples by letting the Spirit work through us as we live our everyday life. (Living Liturgy, p.142)

Respect Life Judy Hyatt

There was a curious cus-tom years ago that per-haps developed in an age when Easter was seen less as a b a p t i s m a l season than as a kind of tour through the deeds of the Risen Christ. The paschal can-dle, sign of Christ’s pres-ence, was

re-moved from public view on Ascension Thursday, banished to the baptis-tery.

Ascension day does speak of the hidden as-pects of Christ’s life among us, but it does not have much to do with God’s absence. Christ has not shed his human life like an incon-venient shell, but rather has taken humanity into heaven.

The theologian Karl Rah-ner said that it is a festival of “the nearness of God.” In vanishing from our

sight, Christ has become ut-terly avail-able to all at every time and every place, and is “closer to us than he ever was.” T o -day is the feast of believing that be-yond our final breath is a presence that waits for us, a banquet prepared, a ten-der homecoming embrace. Rahner said that today is a festival of the future of the world, a day for anticipat-ing the world’s true des-tiny, and therefore hardly a day to be going around hiding candles!

Treasures from our Tradition

who struggle and are tempted to turn their backs on life: turn towards Mary! Within the smile of the Virgin lies

mysteriously hidden the strength to fight against sickness, in support of life. With her, equally, is found the grace to accept without fear or bitterness to leave this world at the hour chosen by God”. — Pope Benedict XVI, Homily in front of the Basilica of Notre-Dame du Rosaire, Lourdes, Monday, 15 September 2008

T

hursday, June 5th marks the 10th

anniver-sary of Fr. Tim’s ordination as a priest. Daily

mass will be celebrated at 10 am with a brunch in

his honor in Craven Hall. Please come help

cele-brate this special day with our pastor. RSVP Janet

Bright at 256-603-2008.

A MISSION FROM THE MOUNTAIN

Matthew is the only one of the evangelists who does not speak explicitly of or recount the departure of Jesus from his followers. Mark and Luke recount the Ascension, each in his own way; and John consistently has Jesus speak of the necessity of his departure so the Paraclete might come. Matthew situates his final scene for Jesus on top of a mountain in Galilee (not outside Jerusalem, as Luke does). This is the region where his mission originated, and throughout his Gospel the mountaintop has been the place for him to teach his followers. (We are familiar with the “Sermon on the Mount” from Matthew.) And here Jesus re‐echoes those Ascension themes we hear from the other evangelists: It is Jesus himself, risen and glorified, charged with power from the Father, who sends us out; it is Jesus himself who gives us our mission to baptize, heal, teach, and proclaim the Good News of salvation; it is Jesus him-self who will be with us always, as we continue to be his presence alive in the world.

The Knights of Columbus are hosting The Great 2014 Draw Down on Saturday, June 14 at the Guntersville Town Hall. The event will be from 7:00—11:00 pm.

If you would like to purchase a ticket to support the charita-ble works of the Knights, please contact Sean Landry at 256-426-8086.

Séptimo Domingo de Pascua

El mensaje de Nuestra

Señora del Rosario de

Chiquinquirá o la Chinita

como cariñosamente la

llaman sus fieles, es

sen-cillo: “Déjate renovar por

Dios”. Renovación que

ella misma recibió

mila-grosamente en el año

1586. En ese entonces, su

imagen pertenecía a doña

María, una mujer

sevilla-na de mucha piedad.

Doña María había

re-cibido como herencia por

parte de su hermano

An-tonio una pintura de la

Virgen del Rosario en tan

mal estado que no se

pod-ía distinguir ni la Virgen

madre con el niño Dios en

sus brazos o los santos

Antonio de Padova y

Andrés apóstol.

No obstante la mala

con-dición de la pintura, doña

María la colocó en su

ca-pilla donde pasaba las

mañanas en oración.

Un día, una indígena

y su niño pasaban por la

puerta de la capilla

cuan-do notaron un gran brillo

que venia del rostro de

María iluminando el resto

del cuadro con colores

vivos y brillantes.

Inme-diatamente llamaron a

doña María, quien pudo

ser testigo de la milagrosa

renovación. Como algo

muy interesante, la

ima-gen de cerca se ve borrosa

y dañada, pero de lejos

adquiere distinción y

niti-dez.

MISIÓN DESDE LA MONTAÑA

Mateo es el único de los evangelistas que no habla explíci-tamente de la partida de Jesús de entre sus seguidores. Marcos y Lucas recuentan la Ascensión, cada uno a su manera; y Juan constantemente pone en boca de Jesús las palabras sobre la ne-cesidad de que él parta para que el Paráclito regrese. Mateo sitúa la escena final de Jesús en la tierra en la cima de una coli-na en Galilea (no en las afueras de Jerusalén como lo hace Lu-cas). Esta es la región donde su misión se originó y en todo su Evangelio la cima de la montaña ha sido el lugar desde donde Jesús enseña a sus seguidores. (Estamos familiarizados con el “Sermón de la Montaña” de san Mateo.) Y aquí Jesús hace eco a los temas de la Ascensión que escuchamos de los otros evan-gelistas: Es ese Jesús, resucitado y glorificado, lleno del poder que le viene del Padre quien nos envía; es el mismo Jesús quien nos da la misión de bautizar, sanar, enseñar y proclamar la Bue-na Nueva de la salvación; es el mismo Jesús quien estará siem-pre con nosotros si continuamos siendo su siem-presencia viva en el mundo.
