TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION There was a curious custom years ago that perhaps developed in an age when Easter was seen less as a baptismal season than as a kind of tour through the deeds of the Risen Christ. The paschal candle, sign of Christ’s presence, was removed from public view on Ascension Thursday, banished to the baptistery. Ascension day does speak of the hidden aspects 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 inconvenient shell, but rather has taken humanity into heaven. The theologian Karl Rahner said that it is a festival of “the nearness of God.” In van-ishing from our sight, Christ has become utterly available to all at every time and every place, and is “closer to us than he ever was.” Today is the feast of believing that beyond our final breath is a presence that waits for us, a banquet pre-pared, a tender homecoming embrace. Rahner said that today is a festival of the future of the world, a day for anticipating the world’s true destiny, and therefore hardly a day to be going around hiding candles! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
HEAVEN The world is only peopled to people heaven. —St. Francis de Sales
From the Pastor
The Ascension of Our Lord reminds us that the meaning of our life is to abide with God forever. Our first parents abided with God in the state of beatitude called paradise until, deceived, they departed from him by failing to trust in him.
In so doing, they introduced disharmony into themselves and the whole universe over which God set them as stewards. Where before there had only been peace, now there was pain, strife, suffering and sadness.
Our bodies, which knew nothing but health, were now subject to disease and dysfunction. Our souls, which knew nothing of heartache but only happiness, were now subject to loneliness, grief, and despair. Our nature, which knew nothing but the joy of life, was now subject to death.
The enormity of the first sin—of turning away from God—is beyond our ability to comprehend. It is no small thing of little consequence. It is utterly ruinous and destructive of the good things that God has created for us. It is so insidious that it not only brings ruin upon the guilty. It also works its woe upon the innocent, infecting them as well with its unspeakable misery.
But our Creator did not abandon us or cease loving us. Still desiring that we abide with him al-ways, he sent his Son into the world to repair the damage done to our souls and bodies and re-store us to the joy of communion with him.
Jesus did this throughout his earthly life, by taking into his own body and soul the outrage and pain of every sin that has ever been or ever will be committed, bringing all of it at last to the final agony of the Cross, where he died for the sake of all.
From his crushed flesh issued forth the medicine of grace that heals the human race and opens for it the gates of paradise.
This medicine of grace is the Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead in the Resurrection, and brought his humanity to the right hand of the Father in the Ascension.
This is the medicine of grace that is given to all who are willing to accept it. It is mediated through the life of faith that comes from the preaching of the gospel and from the sacraments of the New Covenant.
The Holy Spirit suffuses eternal life into the members of all believers. He heals and strengthens their repentant souls, restoring them to pristine beauty. He empowers their bodies to attain Res-urrection of the dead on the last day after they have been privileged to share fully in the Lord’s death by tasting death themselves.
The Ascension of Christ is the fulfillment of our human destiny to abide with God always at his right hand in heaven. Christ has shown us the way. Now he sends the Holy Spirit upon all who believe in him, and bids us follow him to the heights of heaven.
Yours in Christ,
Father Walter

From the St. Hugh Fatima Guild The sign-up sheet for hosting the guildʹs Our Lady of Fatima Rosary pil-grimage icon from July-Dec 2014 is on the table at the entrance of the church. Each Sunday an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary travels to a host family/individual home. The host makes a commitment to pray the rosary daily for a week. The daily prayers are the hostʹs private pray-ers. Guild members will pick up the icon at 6PM on Sundays to bring to the next host. If the sending host allows, the guild members will pray the rosary with them along with a farewell prayer during pick up before the icon leaves to go to the next host. The next host will expect to receive the icon at around 7PM with a very short welcome prayers. Rosaries and prayer guides are provided. Please consider signing up and giving homage to our blessed mother and praying the rosary as part of your daily devo-tion. Contact Jessica at 240-472-3575 .
