The Ascension of the Lord – [Thursday, May 30 or] Sunday, June 2, 2019
Acts 1:1-11. Psalm 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9. Ephesians 1:17-23. OR Hebrews 9:24-28; 10:19-23. Luke 24:46-53.
Going but not leaving. There is a paradox, a mystery, really, today. Jesus announces his going into heaven – but blesses his followers before leaving. This blessing clothes them – and us – in garments of Baptism so that we may witness to all things Christic in this world and in the next. This blessing clothes us in him.

Our Sympathy to the Families of Louis Waier and Frances Hoffman
Through baptism they were buried with Christ; and just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, they too will be raised to live in newness of life with God’s elect in heaven (Rom 6:4). Almost two years ago when we honored some members of St. Michael’s parish who were in their nineties as part of the parish’s patron feast day celebration, Louis Waier was among the honorees. This year, it pleased the Lord to call home, not only Louis Waier but also Frances Hoffman, a member of St. Charles Borromeo parish. On behalf of the members of both parishes, I express our sincere condolences to the members of both families praying to God the Almighty Father who called them from this life to grant them eternal rest in heaven. May he comfort the families they left behind with the assurance of the resurrection when we shall all rise in the Lord to part no more. Be assured of our prayers for you as you go through this painful period of losing your dear parents. Fr. Oliver Nwachukwu, Ph.D.
