Parishionrs of Our Lady of Peace

St. Matthias: chosen to replace Judas; qualified because he witnessed Jesus’ ministry and resurrection .

St. Isidore: layman whose wife, Marie de la Cabeza is also a saint; farm laborer associated with miracles; patron of Madrid, farmers, rural communities.

St. John, I: from Tuscany; introduced the Alexandrian computation of the date of Easter; buried in Rome; epitaph salutes him as a “victim of Christ.”

ADORATION 1:00-6:00pm: 6:00pm Confession, Rosary, Eve Prayer; 6:45pm Solemn Benediction

May your days be marked with untold joy and peace

for all that you are and all that you have done.

Today we celebrate Christ’s ascension into heaven and his

commissioning of the disciples to carry on his mission in the world. First

we hear Luke’s description of those events in the opening verses of

the Acts of the Apostles. Next we hear words of encouragement and

guidance from the Letter to the Ephesians. Finally we hear Mark’s

account of the Ascension, foretelling the mighty words and acts the

Christian community would do in Jesus’ name.

Together these scriptures give us a vision of the mission of the

church of Jesus Christ—a mission statement of sorts. Like mission

statements in our parishes and corporations, this mission statement

can help us set priorities and focus our activities. It can guide and

support us as we strive to continue Christ’s messianic mission on earth.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Jesus tells the disciples that they will be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:1-11). Psalm — God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47). Second Reading — God seated Jesus at his right hand in the heavens (Ephesians 1:17-23) Gospel — The Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven. (Mark 16:15-20).
