Ascension of Our Lord May 8, 2016 CONTINUALLY PRAISING GOD In both the first reading and the Gospel we are told about Christ’s glorious ascension into heaven. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reminds us that Christ has been seated at God’s right hand in heaven, above every choir of angels. There might be a temptation to stay at an awed distance from Jesus Christ. However, the tone of today’s readings is far from that temptation. The tone is exultant and the message is urgent. We are to be his witnesses, and the Gospel describes the first witnesses this way: “With great joy . . . they were continually in the temple praising God” (Luke 24:53). How can we continually praise God? The answer can be found in the second reading, in which Paul prays that God will give us a “Spirit of wisdom and revelation” in order to know Christ clearly (Ephesians 1:17). We cannot stand at a distance. We are to be enlightened and empowered. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

2• CHRIST, THE GOOD SHEPHERD PARISH, CAMPBELL, OHIO
Pastor’s Corner Christ is Risen! Happy Mother’s Day! In a special way today we remember those who women who have helped us grow as persons and in our faith. We ask God to bless them and to help us to live the lessons they have taught. And, we ask Mary to lead us into greater union with her Son, Jesus. As we continue to celebrate our New Life in Christ during the Easter season, we reflect on the Sacraments. From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1468-1470): “‘The whole power of the sacrament of Penance consists in restoring us to God's grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship.’ Reconciliation with God is thus the purpose and effect of this sacrament. For those who receive the sacrament of Penance with contrite heart and religious disposition, reconciliation ‘is usually followed by peace and serenity of conscience with strong spiritual consolation.’ Indeed the sacrament of Reconciliation with God brings about a true ‘spiritual resurrection,’ restoration of the dignity and blessings of the life of the children of God, of which the most precious is friendship with God. This sacrament reconciles us with the Church. Sin damages or even breaks fraternal communion. The sacrament of Penance repairs or restores it. In this sense it does not simply heal the one restored to ecclesial communion, but has also a revitalizing effect on the life of the Church which suffered from the sin of one of her members. Reestablished or strengthened in the communion of saints, the sinner is made stronger by the exchange of spiritual goods among all the living members of the Body of Christ, whether still on pilgrimage or already in the heavenly homeland: It must be recalled that . . . this reconciliation with God leads, as it were, to other reconciliations, which repair the other breaches caused by sin. The forgiven penitent is reconciled with himself in his inmost being, where he regains his innermost truth. He is reconciled with his brethren whom he has in some way offended and wounded. He is reconciled with the Church. He is reconciled with all creation. It is only by the road of conversion that we can enter the Kingdom. In converting to Christ through penance and faith, the sinner passes from death to life and ‘does not come into judgment.’” I encourage everyone to celebrate regularly (at least once a year) the Sacrament of Reconciliation. And, there is much work that we must do to bring reconciliation about in our relationships—outside of this sacrament. May God give us the courage and strength to reconcile with each other. Next week, we will celebrate the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, after all the Masses. And, I look forward to the Open Gym and Gaming that we are having for Grades 7-12 from 4-7pm next Sunday! God bless you, Fr. Conoboy
La Esquina del Pastor Cristo ha Resucitado! Feliz Día de las Madres! En una manera especial hoy recordaremos a las mujeres que nos han ayudado a crecer como personas y en nuestra fe. Pedimos a Dios que las bendiga y nos ayude a vivir las lecciones que nos han ensenado. Y, que María nos guie a una mayor unión con su Hijo, Jesús. A medida que continuamos celebrando nuestra Nueva Vida en Cristo durante el tiempo de Pascua, reflexionamos en los Sacramentos. Del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (1468-1470): “‘Toda la fuerza de la Penitencia consiste en que nos restituye a la gracia de Dios y nos une con Él con profunda amistad’. El fin y el efecto de este sacramento son, pues, la reconciliación con Dios. En los que reciben el sacramento de la Penitencia con un corazón contrito y con una disposición religiosa, ‘tiene como resultado la paz y la tranquilidad de la conciencia, a las que acompaña un profundo consuelo espiritual’. En efecto, el sacramento de la reconciliación con Dios produce una verdadera ‘resurrección espiritual’, una restitución de la dignidad y de los bienes de la vida de los hijos de Dios, el más precioso de los cuales es la amistad de Dios. Este sacramento reconcilia con la Iglesia al penitente. El pecado menoscaba o rompe la comunión fraterna. El sacramento de la Penitencia la repara o la restaura. En este sentido, no cura solamente al que se reintegra en la comunión eclesial, tiene también un efecto vivificante sobre la vida de la Iglesia que ha sufrido por el pecado de uno de sus miembros. Restablecido o afirmado en la comunión de los santos, el pecador es fortalecido por el intercambio de los bienes espirituales entre todos los miembros vivos del Cuerpo de Cristo, estén todavía en situación de peregrinos o que se hallen ya en la patria celestial: ‘Pero hay que añadir que tal reconciliación con Dios tiene como consecuencia, por así decir, otras reconciliaciones que reparan las rupturas causadas por el pecado: el penitente perdonado se reconcilia consigo mismo en el fondo más íntimo de su propio ser, en el que recupera la propia verdad interior; se reconcilia con los hermanos, agredidos y lesionados por él de algún modo; se reconcilia con la Iglesia, se reconcilia con toda la creación’. Sólo por el camino de la conversión podemos entrar en el Reino. Convirtiéndose a Cristo por la penitencia y la fe, el pecador pasa de la muerte a la vida ‘y no incurre en juicio’.” Invito a todos a celebrar con regularidad (al menos una vez al ano), el Sacramento de Reconciliación. Y, hay mucho trabajo que hay que hacer para traer la reconciliación en nuestras relaciones—afuera de este sacramento. Que Dios nos de el valor y la fuerza de reconciliarse entre si. La próxima semana vamos a celebrar el Sacramento de la Unción de Enfermos, después de todas las Misas. Y, espero ansioso el Open Gym and Gaming del próximo Domingo, 15 de Mayo, para los grados 7-12 de 4-7pm! Que Dios te bendiga, Padre Conoboy

Christ “anointed.” The name shows that God the Father has given Jesus a mission and endowed him with power to save and the power to heal. Jesus’ whole life was aimed at saving people. His words and actions are the foundation of the saving grace we now received in the sacrament. This sacrament unites those who are suffering with Jesus’ saving and healing power. People receive forgiveness for their sins and comfort in their suffering; they are restored in spirit; and sometimes they even experience the return of physical health. Suffering is a part of life, but Jesus unites our suffering with his passion and death so that through our suffering we can participate in his saving and healing work. The sacrament also reminds us that God wants to give comfort to the suffering and wants us to relieve suffering where we can. Once referred to as Extreme Unction is now a prayer of healing and may now be celebrated several times.
