CONTINUALLY PRAISING GOD
In both the first reading and the Gospel we are told
about Christ’s glorious ascension into heaven. Paul’s letter to
the Ephesians reminds us that Christ has been seated at God’s
right hand in heaven, above every choir of angels. There might
be a temptation to stay at an awed distance from Jesus Christ.
However, the tone of today’s readings is far from that
temptation. The tone is exultant and the message is urgent. We
are to be his witnesses, and the Gospel describes the first
witnesses this way: “[W]ith great joy . . . they were continually
in the temple praising God” (Luke 24:53).
How can we continually praise God? The answer can
be found in the second reading, in which Paul prays that God
will give us a “Spirit of wisdom and revelation” in order to
know Christ clearly (Ephesians 1:17). We cannot stand at a
distance. We are to be enlightened and empowered.

Ascension Sunday
ewardship – God Working Through Us
“What does the poor man do at the rich man’s door, the sick man in
the presence of his physician, the thirsty man at a limpid stream?
What they do, I do before the Eucharistic God.
I pray. I adore. I love.”
~St. Francis

JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
(Dec. 8, 2015-Nov. 20, 2016)
Week 23 (May 8)
Corporal Work of Mercy: Feed the Hungry
Next weekend is St. Genevieve’s “Food Shelf Weekend.”
Any donation put in the collection basket in an envelope labeled
“Food Shelf” or with “Food Shelf” written in the memo line of a
check, gets distributed equally to our two local community food
shelves: Hugo Good Neighbor Food Shelf and Centennial
Community Food Shelf.
KEEP THE WHEELS TURNING:
PARK AND PRAY UPDATE
The last few miles of any journey are always the most
challenging. But our goal is in sight. Donations so far have
topped $178,866.51 If you haven’t had a chance to consider
this important project yet, there’s still time – but the sooner
you can make a decision, the better. We’re suggesting a
$400 per family donation, knowing that some families cannot
afford this amount and others can afford to give more.
Whatever you can do to help is much appreciated.
Donating is easy, just use yellow Park and Pray envelope
(available at all buildings) or give online at stgens.org.
You also may want to check if your company offers a
matching funds program.
Thank you!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla is a Roman Catholic Saint,
canonized on May 16th, 2004 by his Holiness Pope John
Paul II. Gianna was an Italian physician, a wife and a loving
mother. She is best known for refusing both an abortion and
a hysterectomy when she was pregnant with her fourth child,
despite knowing that continuing with the pregnancy could
result in her death. The canonization of Saint Gianna is the
first of its kind. Many mothers have been beatified for their
heroic virtues but they entered religious life after becoming
widowed. In St Gianna’s case, she was a spouse and mother
when she died. St. Gianna is the first canonized woman
physician and professional who was also a “working mom”.
St. Gianna is a patron saint for mothers, physicians, and
unborn children.
Pray for all Mothers today.

Meditation Class/Mindfulness Practice
Mindfulness is the art of living in the present moment.
The practice of mindfulness has great healing potential for
body and mind. This is very good for managing pain, stress,
problem thoughts and emotions, and wayward impulses. For
everyone, it offers great life enhancement. A large body of
research shows how it reorganizes the brain in positive
directions toward happy emotion, less sensitivity to pain, and
long life. It is a spiritual practice for following the teachings
of mystic John of the Cross.
Our first hour and a half session will begin on Thursday,
May 12 at 6:00 in the PCC. The sessions will continue each
Thursday evening of May and June. Even if you didn't come
to the discussion last week, you can start with the group this
week. The classes are free, but there will be a basket for a
free will donation. You may sign up online with Mary Jo
Meadow ([email protected]) or at class. Wear comfortable
clothing. You will sit on chairs.
