DID YOU KNOW?
The Ascension of Our Lord, which occurred 40 days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Easter, is the final act of our redemp-
tion that Christ began on Good Friday. On this day, the risen Christ, in the sight of His apostles, ascended bodily into Heaven
(Luke 24:51; Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9-11).(The celebration is transferred to the following Sunday).
The History of the Ascension of Our Lord: The reality of Christ's Ascension is so important that the creeds (the basic statements of
belief) of Christianity all affirm, in the words of the Apostles' Creed, that "He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God
the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead." The denial of the Ascension is as grave a depar-
ture from Christian teaching as is denial of Christ's Resurrection. Christ's bodily Ascension foreshadows our own entrance into
Heaven not simply as souls, after our death, but as glorified bodies, after the resurrection of the dead at the Final Judgment. In re-
deeming mankind, Christ not only offered salvation to our souls but began the restoration of the material world itself to the glory
that God intended before Adam's fall.
The Feast of the Ascension marks the beginning of the first novena, or nine days of prayer. Before His Ascension, Christ promised
to send the Holy Spirit to His apostles. Their prayer for the coming of the Holy Spirit, which began on Ascension Thursday, ended
with the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, ten days later.
Today, Catholics recall that first novena by praying the Novena to the Holy Ghost between Ascension and Pentecost, asking for the
gifts of the Holy Spirit and the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

GOSPEL MEDITATION
Clothing can serve many purposes in our occupation, profession or a
team association. We do dress differently for various events. Jesus
promises the disciples that they will be “clothed with power from on
high.” This clothing with the Holy Spirit resides within allowing the
person to be an icon, a living manifestation of Christ to others. Just as
Jesus is God’s Word in action, so to does the Holy Spirit empower us
today to be God’s Word in action as members of the Body of Christ.
God never forces us. We must accept and cooperate with God’s gift.
In what ways do others see Christ in us? In what ways do we need to
cooperate with God’s grace to allow Christ to be seen in us in every
moment? We are each a work in progress.
La ropa puede servir a muchos propósitos en nuestra ocupación,
profesión o definirnos como parte de un equipo. Nos vestimos de
diferentes maneras para varios eventos. Jesús promete a los discípu-
los que ellos serán "vestidos con el poder de lo alto". Esta vestimenta
del Espíritu Santo reside dentro de la persona permitiéndole ser un
ícono, una manifestación viva de Cristo para otros. Tal como Jesús es
la Palabra de Dios en acción, así también el Espíritu Santo nos em-
podera hoy para ser la Palabra de Dios en acción como miembros
del Cuerpo de Cristo. Dios nunca nos obliga. Debemos aceptarlo y
cooperar con el don de Dios ¿De qué maneras los otros ven a Cristo
en nosotros? ¿De qué maneras necesitamos cooperar con la Gracia
de Dios para permitir que Cristo sea visto en nosotros en cada mo-
mento? Todos somos un trabajo en progreso.

BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY
At the time of a death in a family, support of the
Church is important. In addition to the pastor offering
support by celebrating the funeral Mass and gravesite blessing, lay
persons of the Church minister to the family by providing a reception
to celebrate their loved one’s life. If you have been looking for a way
to help and just do not have time to serve a ministry on a regular ba-
sis, this is a great opportunity! Our bereavement coordinator will con-
tact folks that are interested in helping these families by bringing food
items such as: desserts, sandwiches, veggie or fruit trays. If for some
reason you can not participate when you are called to bring a food
item you simply state that you can not bring something this time and
to keep you on the list for the next family that has a death from our
parish. Please contact Putzie Martin at [email protected] and add
your name to the calling list.
La Iglesia de Ascension en Bastrop ofrece apoyo a toda las familias
de sus seres queridos cuando se celebra el misterio de la muerte.
Este apoyo se da atravez de la celebracion de la Eucharistia y tambi-
en atraves de nuestras oraciones. Esta es una oportunidad para que
todos nosotros participemos en apoyar a nuestras familias no solo-
mente spiritual si no tambien compartiendo una comida, porlo tanto
les pidimos que generosamente nos ayuden a cooperar con la recep-
cion que se ofrese despues de cada funeral. Usted pueden traer sand-
wiches, fruta, postres etc. Si esta interesado favor de comunicarse con
Putzie Martin correo electronico: [email protected].

SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
As we await Pentecost, the Scriptures this week invite us to
ponder these questions: Are we a community who lives the
love and unity for which Jesus prayed? Are we courageous
witnesses of the risen Jesus and the Holy Spirit? Do we live
as people reborn and refreshed by the life-giving waters of
baptism? How will our baptism make us people of justice and
charity?
SOLEMNIDAD DE LA ASCENSIÓN DEL SEÑOR
Mientras esperamos la llegada de Pentecostés, esta semana
se nos invita a hacernos estas preguntas: ¿Somos una comun-
idad que vive el amor y la unidad por la que Jesús oró?
¿Vivimos como gente renacida y renovada por las aguas
dadoras de vida del bautismo? ¿Cómo nos hará nuestro bau-
tismo gente de justicia y caridad?
