Welcome to Good Shepherd Chapel

Celebrating the Ascension of the Lord

Scripture but in a few days you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:5) the LORD, the Most High, the awesome, is the great king over all (Psalm 47:3) One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:6) Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15) Reflection Do you believe in the One God who is over, through and in all? How do you proclaim the Gospel ... to every creature? Do you need words? Do you care for the most vulnerable and the for Gods creation? How is One God of all - over all, through all, and in all? Yet there are familiar ways by which evangelization happens: by the way we live God's love in our daily life; by the love, example, and support people give each other; by the ways parents pass faith on to their children; in our life as Church, through the proclamation of the Word and the wholehearted celebration of the saving deeds of Jesus; in the care we show to those most in need; and in the ways we go about our work, share with our neighbors, and treat the stranger. In daily life, family members evangelize each other; men and women, their future spouses; and workers, their fellow employees, by the simple lives of faith they lead.

Thursday after the sixth Sunday of Easter or the seventh Sunday of Easter The feast of the Ascension is celebrated on the fortieth day after Easter Sunday*, commemorating the Ascension of Christ into Heaven and His completion of the work of our redemption. The liturgy on this day celebrates the entry of Christ into heaven with our human nature glorified, and the pledge of our glorification with Him. In the past, processions outside the church were held on this day to imitate Christ's leading the Apostles out of the city to the Mount of Olives, and to commemorate the entry of Christ into heaven. Some Christian churches mark the Ascension of Jesus with a festival. Many European countries celebrate this Feast. Retrieved from http://www.wf-f.org/

By Joseph McAleer Catholic News Service NEW YORK (CNS) -- A more appropriate title for "The Perfect Family" (Variance) would be, "The Year's Most Virulently Anti-Catholic Movie." Staged by newcomer Anne Renton (director) and screenwriters Paula Goldberg and Claire V. Riley, this dramedy ridicules just about every aspect of the Catholic Church, its teachings and members, offering broad caricatures of clergy, religious and laity to score negative points. Eileen Cleary (Kathleen Turner), supermom and "ultimate Catholic," is the altar server at Mass, assisting Msgr. Murphy (Richard Chamberlain, channeling his Father de Bricassart role from "The Thorn Birds"). It's time for Communion, and Eileen holds a platter of consecrated hosts. The monsignor turns to her, takes a host, then turns to the communicant and offers the Eucharist. That detail -- entirely alien, of course, to the reality of Catholic liturgy -- is a pretty good hint that no one involved in this bilious project has any familiarity whatever with the life of the church they're attacking. Distracted, Eileen brushes lint from her server's robe, jostles the platter, and several hosts fall to the ground. She proceeds to kick the body of Christ under the altar so the monsignor will not notice what's happened. "The Perfect Family" sinks even lower. The parish announces the "Catholic Woman of the Year Award," setting up a vicious rivalry between Eileen and a den of superficially pious vipers. The award will be presented by the archbishop of Dublin, who will bestow the "prayer of absolution" on the winner, wiping away all her sins. The award committee is headed by a meanspirited nun -- is there any other kind? -- Sister Joan, who insists on a thorough examination of the potential honoree's family and marriage. "What makes a nun an expert on marriage?" one candidate snipes. You see, her daughter, Shannon (Emily Deschanel), is a lesbian, pregnant and getting "married" in a week. Her son, Frank Jr. (Jason Ritter), has left his wife and is having an affair with a manicurist. And her husband, Frank (Michael McGrady), is a recovering alcoholic and philanderer. Challenged by her daughter to ignore the pope and decide for herself what's right and wrong, Eileen barks, "I don't have to think! I'm a Catholic!" It gets worse. Shannon is wed, on the sly, by Father Joe, a Catholic priest. Father Joe eventually counsels Eileen to lighten up, noting that God simply wants us "to do the best we can," with or without the church's help. The film contains pervasive anti-Catholic prejudice, sacrilegious humor, a benign view of premarital sex and homosexual acts as well as of same-sex marriage, an abortion theme and some rough language. The Catholic News Service classification is O -- morally offensive. Retrieved from http://www.catholicnews.com/
