Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
Rosar Campai n for Peace
We will be starting a Rosary
for Peace Campaign on
May 13th. This is the 100th
year anniversary of the
appearance of the Angel of
Peace to the three shepherd
children at Fatima in 1916
(prior to the appearances of
Mary). During this campaign
we will be encouraging
individuals and families to
commit to praying a rosary for
peace - in our world, our
communities and in our
families. (For example: 1 per
day, 1 per week or 1 per
month.) We ask that you commit for one year.
Visit: annunciationorlando.or /rosary-peace to sign up.
We will send you a prayer package with a commitment
card and a link to record your rosaries. We look forward
to praying with you and for peace in our time...
How do you become a Catholic?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or the
RCIA was given to the Church through a directive
of Vatican II. It really is the restoration of the
method by which adults became Catholic
Christians in the early Church. RCIA is a journey
of conversion – conversion of the heart and mind!
The first part of RCIA is called Inquiry or the
Pre-Catechumenate.
Inquiry will meet every other week....
Upcoming dates include:
Wednesday, 5/25 OR Sunday, 5/29
Wednesday sessions start at 7:00 pm, in the
St. Gabriel Life Center.
Sunday morning sessions begin at 9:15 am in the
Nazareth Center. To register or for more
information, please contact Mary Ann Fox at
[email protected] or 407-869-9472.
Pre-registration is not required. There are no fees
for the RCIA process.
Moments of Merc - Ma 2016
The prayers we offer have a great impact on our lives and
the lives of those around us. In some situations, the most we
can do for someone is to pray for them, especially if they
live far away from us. However, prayer is by no means the
least of what we do. It is powerful and effective! One way
we can pray for those in need is by praying with the
Blessed Virgin Mary and asking her to pray for us (MV, no.
24). There are many prayers that are part of the Church's
tradition that help us pray with Mary. In living out God's
mercy this month, every time you pray one of these prayers,
pray it with a particular intention of compassionate love and
mercy for a particular person or situation in your life or for
a troubled area of your community. USCCB.or

Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
Stewardship Reflections on the Readings
On this Seventh Sunday of Easter, most Catholics
in the United States also celebrate the Solemnity of
the Ascension of the Lord. Traditionally, Ascension
Thursday occurred 40 days after Easter (May 5 this
year); however, most dioceses in the U.S. have
transferred this Holy Day of Obligation to the
Sunday following it, which this year is today.

Christ’s Ascension is important to us. It is one of
our core beliefs, to the extent that when we profess
our faith at Mass, regardless which Creed we use,
we declare, “He ascended into heaven and is seated
at the right hand of the Father.” To deny Christ’s
Ascension is to deny His Resurrection. Before His
Ascension, which is described in our First Reading
from the Acts of the Apostles, Jesus tells His
followers, “…you will be baptized with the Holy
Spirit.”
We, too, have been baptized and imbued with the
Holy Spirit. This Third Member of the Holy Trinity
is the aspect of God that lives and empowers each
of us. We may think that the Holy Spirit has more
work to do among those who do not believe, but
there is also considerable work to be done among
those of us who do believe. We are called to serve;
we are called to discipleship; we are called to lives
of stewardship; we are reminded of that in all of
today’s readings.
In his homily on the Ascension of Christ last year,
Pope Francis said, “The Ascension tells us He is
with God the Father, where He always intercedes in
our favor.” thecatholicsteward.com

When they had gathered together they asked him,
“Lord, are you at this time going to restore the
kingdom to Israel?” He answered them, “It is not
for you to know the times or seasons that the
Father has established by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit
comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”
When he had said this, as they were looking on,
he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their
sight. While they were looking intently at the sky
as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in
white garments stood beside them. They said,
“Men of Galilee, why are you standing there
looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken
up from you into heaven will return in the same
way as you have seen him going into heaven.”
