~ REFLECTION ~ Our Easter season is nearing its conclusion. We have spent these weeks trying to grasp the meaning of Christ’s resurrection and our own Baptism. Like the disciples in today’s first reading, we are about to devote our-selves with one accord to prayer. Let us pray during today’s celebration that we will be strengthened to bear fruit for the reign of God in the world.

~ REFLEXION ~ Hoy escuchamos un mandamiento y una garantía del Cristo que asciende al cielo: “Vayan, pues, y hagan discípulos a todos los pueblos” y “yo estoy con ustedes to-dos los días, hasta el fin del mundo”. No podemos hacer lo primero sin lo segundo. La ascensión de Jesucristo hace posible que él esté con su Iglesia siempre y en todo lugar, en vez de en un sólo lugar y momento. Que nuestra oración de hoy dé gracias por este maravilloso don de la pre-sencia del Señor

Thank You, Jesus I know I’m not perfect,

I know sometimes I forget to pray.

I know sometimes I lose my temper,

but thank you for loving me unconditionally and giving me another day to start over again...
