WHAT IS A MOTHER?
It takes a mothers's love to make a house a home, a place to be remembered, no matter where
we roam; It takes a mother's patience to bring a child up right, and her
courage and her cheerfulness to make a dark day bright; It takes a
mother's thoughtfulness to mend the heart's deep "hurts", and her skill
and endurance to mend little socks and shirts; it takes a mothers's
kindness to forgive us when we err, to sympathize in trouble and bow
her head in prayer; It takes a mother's wisdom to recognize our needs
and give us reassurance by her loving words and deeds; It takes a
mother's endless faith, her confidence and trust.... To guide us through
the pitfalls of selfishness and lust; and that is why in all this world there
could not be another who could fulfill God's purpose as completely as a MOTHER.
BEATITUDES OF A MOTHER
Blessed is the mother who understands her child, for she shall inherit a kingdom of
memories. Blessed is the mother who knows how to comfort, for she shall possess child's
devotion. Blessed is the mother who guides by the path of righteousness, for she shall be
proud of her offspring. Blessed is the mother who is never shocked, for she shall receive
confidence. Blessed is the mother who answers startling questions in a simple way for she
shall always be trusted. Blessed is the mother who teaches respect, for she shall be
respected. Blessed is the mother who emphasizes the good and minimizes the bad, for the
child himself shall then make evaluations in like manner. Blessed is the mother who trust
her child as she would be trusted, for her home shall be filled with happiness. Blessed is the
mother who had character strong enough to withstand the thoughtless remarks and
resentments of the growing child, for in due time, she shall be honored.
FEAST OF THE ASCENSION
The Feast of the Ascension, which this year is celebrated on May 14th (Holy day of
Obligation) always falls on a Thursday, on the fortieth day after Christ's Resurrection. This
is one of the principal feast days of our Lord. It celebrates the memory of Christ's Ascension
into heaven and underscores its significance for Christ and for us. Christ left the throne of
His Father, humbled Himself in the womb of the Virgin, lay in Bethlehem in a rough stable,
fled from Nazareth as a common laborer. Tirelessly He searched for the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. His own brethren repaid Him with nothing but unkindness and
misunderstanding. Then, beginning on the Mount of Olives and ending on Golgotha, He
patiently paid the price of our redemption. All this He did because He loved us, because He
sought to free us from Satan's power. This work is now complete. He returns to heaven as
a conqueror. The Son stands before the Father by whom He was sent and whose will He so
perfectly performed.
This feast reminds us that our true destiny lies in God. We must not only do what Jesus
commands us, but we must follow Him to the place where He has gone. The feast tells us
that our life is not limited to life on earth, but we will experience a new life after death. Now
during Liturgy let us open ourselves to God's boundless love...the love of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit...so that He may confirm and strengthen us in our love for Him and for the world.
