2 SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 17, st Reading: Acts 1:1-11 * Psalm 47:2-3, 6-9 * 2nd Reading: Eph 4:1-13 [1-7, 11-13] * Gospel: Mk 16:15-20 PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL Today we celebrate one of the tenets of our creed: that the Lord ascended into heaven. From Mark s Gospel we hear the final words Jesus spoke to his disciples shortly before he ascended into heaven. Those were words of commissioning, no less real for us today than they were to the disciples then. We are called to proclaim the gospel to every creature. For the vast majority of us, this means that we proclaim the gospel by the witness of our everyday lives. Treating others with dignity and respect, providing for those less fortunate than ourselves, being good stewards of the many gifts showered on us, coming together as God s family in worship and praise these are all signs that the gospel has taken root in our lives. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved. Mark 16:16 PROCLAMA EL EVANGELIO Hoy celebramos uno de los dogmas de nuestro Credo: que el Señor ascendió a los cielos. Del Evangelio de san Marcos escuchamos las últimas palabras que Jesús les dirigió a sus discípulos momentos antes de ascender a los cielos. Fueron palabras con un encargo, no menos real para nosotros que para los discípulos de entonces. Jesús nos encarga: Vayan por todo el mundo y prediquen el Evangelio a toda criatura. Para la gran mayoría de nosotros, esto significa que proclamamos el Evangelio con el testimonio de nuestra vida diaria. Cuando tratamos a otros con dignidad y respeto, ayudamos a los menos afortunados que nosotros, actuamos corresponsablemente con los muchos dones que hemos recibido, y nos reunimos como familia de Dios para adorar y alabar al Padre todas estas son señales de que el Evangelio ha echado raíces en nuestras vidas.

3 ST. MICHAEL CHURCH PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO Dear Parishioners and friends, Today is the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. Before taken up into heaven, Jesus instructed His disciples to go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel (Mark 16:15). This instruction was not given to the disciples at that time only. This is a call to each one of us: to evangelize to care for the world, to be stewards of all that God has given us. PASTORS MESSAGE On May 2 & 3, 2015 we had a second collection to help the people of Nepal who suffered from the strong earthquake on April 29th. We received a total of $5,653 from the second collection. This is an example of evangelization in action. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your treasure with our less fortunate brothers and sisters in Nepal. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our Annual Auction and Car Raffle will be held on May 30, 2015 (Saturday).

Call Religious Education Buena Algoso (619) Congratulations to the 62 candidates who were confirmed on May 2, 2015 by Rev. Msgr. Steven Callahan. Let us pray that the Holy Spirit will fill them with zeal to live the Gospel daily. GOD S WORD TODAY. Very often we hear these words other days, too when listening to the Gospel reading: Jesus said to his disciples. And too often we listen to the proclamation as if it were a lovely bit of historical writing. We might be tempted to think that these words live in some kind of vacuum. Instead, why not perk up our ears when we hear this phrase? Instead of hearing Jesus said to his disciples, why not hear Jesus says to me, right here and right now? This is a fitting exercise on this day when we remember Christ s ascension into heaven. For his words to his disciples to us today call for a continued dedication to sharing the good news of Christ s saving death and resurrection with a world hungry for hope and new life. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright J. S. Paluch Company TODAY S READINGS First Reading This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven (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) or Ephesians 4:1-13 [1-7, 11-13]. Gospel The Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God (Mark 16:15-20).

In today s readings, Christ leaves his corporation, the church, and trusts the employees, his disciples, to run things in His absence. Considering the twothousand-year history of the Church, many might question the wisdom of His decision! Yet, Christ knew that the Spirit would always guide the Church in continuing His messianic mission. Copyright 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. Page 4

Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
