PASTOR’S NOTES

2 | June 2, 2019

UP, UP, AND AWAY? It is common thinking to believe that Christ’s Ascension into heaven somehow removes him from earth and that the Holy Spirit becomes some kind of substitution for his presence here. The Holy Trinity can never be divided and always exists in rela-tionship with each other, whole and intact. How, then, are we to think of this event we celebrate? If Christ is now fully glorified and ascended into heaven, how can he still be here? St. Augustine says: “Why do we on earth not strive to find rest with him in heaven even now, through the faith, hope and love that unites us to him? While in heaven he is also with us; and we while on earth are with him. He is here with us by his divinity, his power and his love. We cannot be in heaven, as he is on earth, by divinity, but in him we can be there by love.” God, in all of the fullness of the Holy Trinity, transcends heaven and earth and time and space. He is present to the past and the future as much as he is to the present. We touch the undivided, intimate presence of God when we live the virtues of faith, hope, and love. These virtues flow from the essence of His being and con-nect us intimately with Him. As important as it is to “look up” to God, it is even more im-portant to look within and look without. Our world, and even our Church, finds itself out of focus and losing touch with their com-pass and true north. While there is a lot of good happening around us and sacrifices are made every moment, there is also a great deal of dysfunction and evil. Our true “reason for being” is distorted and conflicting, and often harmful voices are com-peting for our attention and allegiance. The tyranny of the politi-cally correct is reigning supreme, and less regard is given to what is true and essential. This is why, at its core, this celebration of Christ’s Ascension into heaven propels us to look within to the virtues of faith, hope, and love that God has given us and look without and get about the business of preaching the Good News. What, essentially, is this Good News? It’s quite simple: we are hardwired to be in relationship with God eternally in heaven, and we can share in God’s heavenly glory while we journey on earth. Humanity needs to learn to connect the dots and realize that the very things it relies upon so often each day (faith, hope, and love) are not there because of its own doing or simply because it comes with the package. Faith, hope, and love exist because of God’s gener-ous self-gift. Christ is not further removed from us but more fully and inwardly connected. The author of “The Cloud of Unknowing” tells us that the work of contemplation is “an interior vital adventure pursued in the Spirit.” The Ascension does not direct us to simply look up and fix our gaze upon the heavens but to embark upon this won-derful, exciting interior adventure in which we find ourselves more and more intimately linked and connected to the Ascend-ed Christ through the timeless virtues of faith, hope, and love. This adventure leads us not only to the incredible Trinitarian intimacy of God’s presence but to our brothers and sisters, our own blessedness, and the world we have been asked to man-

age. Have you ever found yourself wondering what all of the ten-sions and conflicts we are experiencing in our world and in our Church are saying about where we have come as a people and where we are going? How do you find yourself answering that question? With Christ’s mission now complete, God’s message to humanity is echoed loud and clear. New life awaits all those who desire it! God never gives up on creating and recreating all that He has made and sustains. As dire and dead as things may seem, there is always new life to be found. The temptation is to live in the frustration, anger, fear, disillusionment, apathy, hopelessness, and even despair. Some may even believe that the human race has gotten to the point of no return. Today, however, we are asked not to give up! We are commissioned once again to be witnesses to the truth, and the Holy Spirit will help us accom-plish our goals. What has the risen and ascended Christ done for you? Take your answer to that question and bring it to others, not necessarily by using words but by the example of your life. If the true light of faith is shining within you, people, by the work of the Holy Spirit, will be drawn to you. If you have really discovered a pearl of great price, others will want one, too. We cannot give up on hu-manity, and we cannot give up on the Gospel. When the Risen Christ saw the disciples that last time, he did not leave them with a specific set of instructions, intricate for-mularies or prayers to say, or condemnations to meet out to those who have erred. He kept it simple: preach in my name. It is our task to help people come to true repentance by adjusting the focus of their lives, reorienting their compass, and discover-ing the heavenly presence of Christ by following the virtues of faith, hope, and love. Then, humanity will no longer be wallowing in the darkness of destruction but living the ascended life that God has promised.

Rev. Mark Suslenko

PRAYER O God unto whom all hearts lie open

unto whom desire is eloquent and from whom no secret thing is hidden;

purify the thoughts of my heart by the outpouring of your Spirit

that I may love you with a perfect love and praise you as you deserve. Amen.

— The Cloud of Unknowing

NOTAS DEL PASTOR

St Peter the Apostle | 3

LA ASCENSIÓN DEL SEÑOR La Fiesta de la Ascensión del Señor, trasladada este año de un jueves al Séptimo Domingo de Pascua, es la última de tres fig-uras de un tríptico. Las primeras dos figuras son de la crucifixión y resurrección. La última completa el ciclo litúrgico pascual y nos dice dónde los cristianos deben estar en la vida que com-parten con el Resucitado. Según nuestra fe cristiana, ahora compartimos con los judíos, no sólo el privilegio de ser un pueblo del Libro, la Biblia Hebrea, sino la oportunidad de ser un pueblo sacramental ante las demás naciones. Somos también el pueblo de una Alianza Nue-va que identifica a Dios con nosotros por medio del don de Jesu-cristo, el Verbo de Dios en nuestra humanidad. La Ascensión del Señor nos enseña que no somos los que reci-bimos las sobras de los dones de Dios, sino una comunidad significante que lleva la responsabilidad de vivir como Cristo, enamorados del mundo. Somos un pueblo especial con la opor-tunidad de servir el mundo con el mismo amor que provocó la Creación, liberó a Israel en Egipto, regresó a los judíos del exilio babilónico, y llevó a Jesús por su muerte como nosotros mori-mos a una vida como Dios vive. Es triste que pocos cristianos tengan la oportunidad de ver en su vida la dignidad que Dios nos da por lo que decimos y hace-mos ante el mundo. Hoy, los Hechos de los Apóstoles indica cómo llegamos a ser ese pueblo sacramental. Somos el grupo que comparte toda la vida de Cristo. Somos los que debemos ofrecer nuestra vida a pesar del peligro del mundo que cree en el poder y la riqueza acumulada. Vivimos para ser su contradicción y su salvación. Vivimos nuestras vidas con el mismo amor sacrificial que tanto conmovió a Cristo du-rante su vida entre nosotros. Cómo él representa la desin-stalación total del Dios creador y liberador, así también no-sotros. Estamos invitados por el bautismo a vivir y morir con ese mismo sentido de dar tiempo a los que viven entre nosotros. Cómo Jesús llega con sacrificio y muerte a su resurrección, asi debemos nosotros. La carta a los Hebreos nos dice que Cristo vive y muere para fundar nuestra unidad con Dios y para compartir su autoridad sobre la vida cristiana. La autoridad de Jesús ama, sirviendo a los demás. Para nosotros no hay otra autoridad. Nunca man-damos a nadie. Vivimos sólo para servir, para asegurar que to-dos tengan vida, comida, casa y trabajo en la libertad de una humanidad organizada. Con ese propósito vivía Jesús; para esto debemos vivir nosotros hoy. Cristo sigue acompañándonos en nuestra vida y en el Evangelio, estas dos realidades siendo un pan partido para alimentar a todos. El Espíritu de Cristo nos mueve según los detalles de nuestra vida, con una defensa cuando hace falta o con ánimos cuando tenemos pereza. Así debemos seguir promoviendo la justicia, amor y compasión en el mundo. Hay unos que dan un ejemplo fino de cómo vivir la vida cristia-na. En estos días se va falleciendo uno, Leo Mahon, uno de los mejores sacerdotes de la Arquidiócesis de Chicago. En los años

del principio del Concilio Vaticano Segundo, él comenzó una cooperación con la Arquidiócesis de Panamá en Centro América. Ese esfuerzo celebró su aniversario de cincuenta años en días pasados del mes de febrero. La acción de Leo y su equipo había presentado las proyecciones del Concilio al pueblo de una co-munidad incipiente y pobre llamada San Miguelito y juntos in-ventaban a punto de diálogos las Comunidades Eclesiales de Base, la fuente principal de cambio y realización de una Iglesia renovada en toda Latinoamérica. Con esto se comenzaba el ministerio de laicos como base de una Iglesia renovada. Leo conocía por nombre a todos los que él había inspirado. Esta Iglesia reconstruida todavía está evangelizando a las nuevas generaciones latinas en el continente. En el Evangelio que se lee hoy, Jesús explica a los discípulos que todos los que dan testimonio en sus vidas de su vida, muer-te y resurreccion recibirán el poder de Dios. Ese poder es siem-pre creador, liberador y fundado sobre la base del amor de los demás y nuestra obediencia a la alianza de Dios con nosotros. Es la vida del Espíritu. Debemos preguntarnos si creemos acti-vamente en la comunidad humana y si confrontamos sin miedo los imperios del mundo que intentan quitarle su vida, oportuni-dad y voluntad.

SACRAMENTS INFANT BAPTISM The sacrament of baptism for infants is celebrated during Mass. If you are inter-ested in having your child baptized, please make contact Kristine Almada at 760.689.6208 or kalmada@stpeter-fallbrook.org BAUTIZOS Se celebran una vez por mes a las 12PM. Si están interesados en bautizar a su hijo/a, favor de pasar a la oficina parroquial para obtener una forma de registro. RCIA: RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION (How Do I Become A Catholic?) If you are interested in finding out more about the Catholic faith, or are missing some of your sacraments please contact Kristine Almada at 760.689.6208 or kalmada@stpeter-fallbrook.org CONFIRMATION Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacra-ment of Confirmation together make up the “Sacraments of Christian Initia-tion”. The reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the com-pletion of baptismal grace. The mini-mum age for the reception of the Sacra-ment of Confirmation is 15 for those already baptized. The policy of the par-ish is to accept candidates for Confirma-tion who are in the 9th grade and up to 11th grade. Those who are 18 years of age or above are to be enrolled in the adult Confirmation program. The two-year preparation process aims to lead the candidate to a more intimate union with Jesus Christ and more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit – his ac-tions, his gifts and his biddings – in or-der to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. Candidates are expected to attend scheduled faith formation sessions, re-treats, service outreach and attend Mass regularly as they prepare their hearts to become fully initiated into the Catholic Church. For information contact Toney Renteria at 760.689.6209

The clergy needs our prayers as much as we need theirs. Would you like to be part of a new Ministry? The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strength-en the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ. We are looking for 6 women to be part of a prayer group for our Pastor. Please email Shirley Chavez at 7SistersApostolateFallbrook@gmail.com for more information.

THE WORD AMONG US Grow closer to God this Easter season! Pick up a copy of the devotional publi-cation The Word Among Us and spend 5 to 10 minutes each day reflecting on the word of God for your life. Copies are located at the church exits. The Word Among Us features uplifting and thought-provoking meditations based on the daily Mass readings. • The June issue will help you understand the truth of who you are and who God is—and the truth will set you free. • The July/August summer issue speaks of God’s faithful, covenant love—and why it matters to you. • The September issue on the Beatitudes shows how you can be poor in

spirit, merciful, and a peacemaker in your daily life. Please pick up a copy as each issue becomes available and experience the joy of hearing from God each day!

INFANT BAPTISM PREPARATION SEMINAR The next Infant Baptism Preparation Seminar for par-ents and Godparents will be held on Saturday, June 8th at 9:00 a.m. This seminar may be attended while you are expecting your child. It is also for those who are planning a bap-tism in the coming months. Please contact Kristine Almada at 760-689-6208 for more information or to register

QUESTION OF THE WEEK PREGUNTAS DE LA SEMANA • The final episode in the Gospel of Luke is Jesus' ascension into

heaven. Luke tells us the disciples "returned to Jerusalem with great joy" on their way back from Bethany, about 1.5 miles away. What do you imagine the disciples talked about on this brief journey home?

• El último episodio en el Evangelio de Lucas es la ascensión de

Jesús al cielo. Lucas nos dice que los discípulos "regresaron a Jeru-salén llenos de gozo" en su camino de regreso de Betania, a aproxi-madamente 1.5 millas de distancia. ¿De qué te imaginas que hablaron los discípulos en este breve viaje a casa?

“For every pain we must bear, For every burden, every care,

There’s a reason.

For every grief that bows the head For every teardrop that is shed,

There’s a reason.

For every hurt, for every plight, For every lonely, pain-racked night,

There’s a reason.

But if we trust God, as we should It will turn out for our good.

He knows the reason.” Author Unknown
