Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Code:
Today is "Ascension Thursday" - 40 days after Easter. In our Diocese, as in many places, we will be celebrating the Feast Day on this coming Sunday.
Whenever I meditate on this event in the the lives of Jesus and Mary in the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary, I think again of Mary's tremendous faith and total gift of herself to God's Will. Jesus would not be "physically present" for her to see but would be present to her eyes of faith after He ascended. Like us, Mary would be called to "see Him" with eyes of faith and give her love and care for Him to the members of His Body on earth.
By God's Grace may we be "other Mary's" today and everyday, building up the Body of Christ with our lives of faith, hope and above all Charity!
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
