The pastel heavens and the majestic soft mountains give a natural warmth and serenity to the background. Birds appear to be chatting in a tree while a tiger plays with a hare at his feet. A lion and lioness vigilantly stroll their kingdom, inspiring security rather than fear. There is space to run, shade for rest, a path under a leafy arch that invites us to walk. Eden is the perfect habitat of protection, freedom, and fraternity. And in the center are Adam and Eve. Traditional farm animals are nearby, and manʼs best friend is at Adamʼs right hand with a cat sitting at his feet. Like our first parents, we are not alone in our search for God. We are surrounded by many of the wonderful creatures he has placed alongside us to reflect his glory and show us his love. When God comes looking for people in the Garden, he expects to find them enjoying the beauty and harmony of his creation. Yet original sin, that abuse of freedom by doubting Godʼs goodness, destroyed humanityʼs innocence and his unity with creation. What was cherished now becomes a source of fear and suspicion. We destroy and pollute what God gave us to use and to preserve. Trusting in Godʼs goodness, as proved by the wonderful beauty in creation, is the key to inner peace and unity with others and creation. Doubting his love is to doubt our very source and goodness.

Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time June 10, 2018 Introduction to the Liturgy of the Day: We return today to Sundays in Ordinary Time. In a sense Ordinary Time is time that falls outside the major holy seasons of the year: Easter, Christmas, Advent, and Lent. But Ordinary Time is not just the absence of a major season any more than our lives are ordinary on days that are not holidays. Ordinary Time forms the foundation of the liturgical year; after all, it comprises almost two-thirds of the calendar. May we appreciate the heft of Ordinary Time as we settle into the longest season of the year. Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word: Genesis 3:9-15 Psalm Corinthians 4:13-5:1 Mark 3:20-35 Most of the Gospel readings during Ordinary Time this year are taken from the Gospel of Saint Mark. Mark wrote his Gospel as a dramatic story with Jesus at the center. Jesus is always moving, inviting his disciples and us to follow. Mark wanted those who heard or read his Gospel to come to understand Jesus and recognize him as the Son of God. As is typical, Jesus moves quickly through a growing crowd in today s Gospel, rebuking those who misunderstand his power, warning those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, and redefining their understanding of family. 2018, World Library Publications 2018 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL (ACA) Answer the Call Ascension Parish s Goal: $40, Parish Summary Report as of: May 25, donors Pledged: $14, Received: $9, Remember no gift is too small!
