From the Desk of Father PeterMy Friends:
The Bishops of New Jersey Dioceses have issued a decree, which transferred the obligation of attending Mass on Ascension on its normal Thursday (forty days after Easter) to this Seventh Sunday of Easter. However, we need to reflect upon the entire journey of our Lord. Of course, the supernatural events of Incarnation through Ascension are the road-story-to-end-all-road-stories. From heaven to Earth to hell and back again. That unique journey is not ours to take. but the other is not only recommended but required for people of faith. We can’t sit on our creeds in the pews, but must follow the story line from learner to teacher, from disciple to evangelist. It would be a horrible misunderstanding to think that the Ascension is an event in which Jesus makes it safely home, a happy ending about which you need trouble yourself no further. The liturgical year is not a pageant of historical episodes in the life of God, which all work out to our mutual satisfaction in the end. The next wave of this arc involves you, and you’re being “sent” to continue the story for the age to come. So tie up your laces, and let’s get moving. We have a lot to accomplish as His disciples here at Our Lady of Mt. Virgin. I hope you are prepared.
Be assured of my continued prayers and know that I am,
Loving you always,
Fr. Peter -
