TRANSCRIPT
Ascension of the Lord St. Joseph’s Parish Bulletin –June 1/2, 2019
MAY I GIVE YOU ONLY PRAISE AND ADORATION The apostles were sad and dejected when Our Lord told them he would be leaving. Now, they are filled with awe and praise. The scales have fallen from their eyes. The shadow of the cross no longer strikes the same fear in their hearts. Christ has conquered sin and death, and they are witnesses to this, for they have experienced it in their own lives. This past Lent we accompanied Our Lord during his passion and death. We then witnessed his resurrection. Now we see him ascending into heaven. Like the apostles, we, too, are so moved to stand in awe of so great a God that we are compelled to sing his praises day and night. This attitude goes hand-in-hand with being messengers of his love to all peoples. CONVERSATION WITH CHRIST Lord Jesus, I want to be a holy dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. Your gift to me is your Spirit of truth and love. You nourish me with the things of heaven. May I decrease so that you may increase. RESOLUTION I will speak well of others today and shun all tendency to judge others or speak badly of them. (Fr. John Doyle, LC)

ALPHA AND OMEGA
The Book of Revelation ends
with a promise from Jesus that he
will return from heaven. He calls
himself, "the Alpha and the
Omega." These are the first and
last letters of the Greek alphabet. So, he is the cause
and the goal of all creation. The very end of the book is
the phrase, "Maranatha". This is an Aramaic phrase that
probably means, "Come Lord." It is the believers'
response to Jesus' promise. (Father Richard Lonsdale)
