Grace Notes Continued from previous week: For the time being, we cannot receive Eucharist
(thanksgiving), which we describe as the source and summit or our Christian lives. Perhaps now is an opportunity to shore up that summit in our lives by caring for one another, praying for one another, reaching out to the isolated by sending a card or calling, thanking a grocery store employee or sanitation worker, donating to the local food pantry, and being thankful at home for all we do have. Even though we cannot come to the Table of the Lord at Mass, every time we sit at table at home is an opportunity to encounter the Risen Lord in eucharist (thanksgiving). "You shall eat your fill and bless the Lord your God for the good land that he has given you." (Dt 8:10).
Psalms and hymns can certainly be wellsprings for the balm we seek, refreshing the soul and offering courage and perseverance and thanksgiving:
Ps 23: The Lord Is My Shepherd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p9tkNkmjuo
Ps 27: The Lord is My Light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN-GG8RgviQ
Ps. 91: Be With Me, Lord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFxzveKB5RU
O God, Beyond All Praising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBoxFBgdFl0
Archbishop Gomez continued: United with our Holy Father Pope Francis, let us pray in solidarity for our brothers and sisters here and around the world who are sick. Let us pray for those who have lost loved ones to this virus. May God console them and grant them peace. We pray also for doctors, nurses, and caregivers, for public health officials and all civic leaders. May God grant them courage and prudence as they seek to respond to this emergency with compassion and in service to the common good.
During this month of May, let us also seek the intercession of our Blessed Mother who knew suffering and sacrifice. The USCCB.org website offers many resources, including the daily readings, prayers during this pandemic, and updates from the US bishops.
Know that your parish staff is here for you, praying with you. Let us know how we can help. May our Lord grant you and your families the gifts of perseverance and peace and gratitude. ~Pax Regina

GOSPEL MEDITATION May 24th, 2020
The Ascension of the Lord
A pair of ducks found their way to the same little corner of the property year after year. Sheltered by a little grove of trees, they quickly made their preparations to build a nest, lay eggs, and welcome in a new family. Then one year, only one of the ducks came to that little corner. She went about the business of building a nest, but this time, she was clearly unsettled. She would wander around, sometimes seemingly without purpose, almost hoping perhaps that her mate might come along. But, she remained alone. There were many times when we could hear her “crying”, mourning her loneliness and lack of purpose, sitting on a batch of eggs that would never hatch. One day, she quietly left that little corner never to return again. Many human beings approach life this way. We silently grieve our loneliness, lack of direction, and sense of purpose. Maybe life once had meaning for us, but nothing seems to claim us and settle our restlessness any longer. We wander around looking and hoping for someone or something to come our way. We may even sob at times, wailing as we sit with the misery of our pain. Will happiness ever come our way again? Or will we simply leave where we are never to return again? Many are lost, wandering souls who are not quite sure where to settle or where to make a home. We are meant to be in Christ. This glorious feast of the Ascension shows us, with clear vision, who Jesus really is! Understanding ourselves in Christ really changes things up and reorients us to our greater purpose, mission, and meaning. We are part of the cosmic wonder of creation and part of a bigger plan and mystery, destined to be much more than what we now know ourselves to be. Could Jesus’ friends know who he would become? If we can find the Christ present within and see the Christ bursting forth in all creation and beyond, then we can come to know our truth and understand where our home and life is meant to be. Advancing upon the blessing of each new day with the certain knowledge that you are an unconditionally loved child of God gives you the axis and the safe harbor to cope with whatever comes your way. The gift of joy will be yours, and you can discover your true meaning and purpose. Look within, look without, look above, and look below. You are not alone. Trust that God will lead you where you need to be and transform you into who you really are. ~©LPi
