  53. Gladden us with holy joys, Almighty God, and make us rejoice with devout thanksgiving for the ascension of Christ your son in our exultation.

  54. And where the head has gone before in glory, the body is called to follow in hope.

  55. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.

  56. Amen.

  57. A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

  58. In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

  59. He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered

  60. appearing to them during 40 days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

  61. While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak.

  62. For John baptized with water,

  63. but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

  64. When they had gathered together, they asked him, Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?

  65. He answered them, it is not for you to know the times or seasons that the father has established by his own authority.

  66. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.

  67. And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem throughout Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.

  68. When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud took him from their sight.

  69. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.

  70. They said, Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?

  71. 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.

  72. The word of the Lord.

  73. Thanks be to God.

  74. Lamb of Prophet Lord.

  75. The Countess God who shouts up your eyes.

  76. All your people, thank you

  77. of kindness.

  78. Where the Lord has highly awesome is the breaking of earth for the year.

  79. The mountains come through shards the dawn, a bearer come there, a bear of death,

  80. throne of its shouts of joy the Lord of its rounded glass.

  81. In praise, God, sing praise for God.

  82. Our king of all the earth is north.

  83. A parent is strong in shouts of God.

  84. A fair and promised for the Hebrews.

  85. Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by hands a copy of the true one, but heaven itself, that he might now appear before God on our behalf.

  86. Not that he might offer himself repeatedly as the high priest enters each year into the sanctuary with blood that is not his own,

  87. If that were so, he would have had to suffer repeatedly from the foundation of the world.

  88. But now, once for all, he has appeared at the end of the ages to take away sin by his sacrifice.

  89. Just as it is appointed that men and women die once, and after this, the judgment,

  90. So also Christ, offered once to take away the sins of many, will appear a second time not to take away sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await him.

  91. Therefore, brothers and sisters,

  92. Since through the blood of Jesus, we have confidence of entrance into the sanctuary by the new and living way he opened for us through the veil, that is, his flesh.

  93. And since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us approach with a sincere heart and in absolute trust.

  94. with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

  95. Let us hold unwaveringly to our confession that gives us hope for he who made the promise is trustworthy.

  96. The Word of the Lord,

  97. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  98. Hallelujah.

  99. May I believe in your lips and hear that you know what you're going from some Gospels in every family and some of God.

  100. I am free from me.

  101. Hallelujah.

  102. Hallelujah.

  103. Hallelujah.

  104. The Lord be with you and with your spirit.

  105. A reading from the conclusion of the Holy Gospel according to Luke.

  106. Glory to you, O Lord.

  107. Jesus said to his disciples, thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all the nations beginning from Jerusalem.

  108. You are witnesses of these things, and behold, I am sending the promise of my father upon you, but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.

  109. Then he led them out as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and blessed them.

  110. As he blessed them, he parted from them and was taken up to heaven.

  111. They did him homage, and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

  112. And they were continually in the temple praising God.

  113. The gospel of the Lord.

  114. Praise to Lord Jesus Christ.

  115. Of course, today we are celebrating the solemnity of the ascension of the Lord, also beginning the March, the month of June, which is a month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a great devotion that has brought so many people to greater appreciation of the gift of Jesus' heart.

  116. a human heart, especially in the Eucharist, our connection, human connection with God, the only God, who decided to become men.

  117. Because in the history of the world, we've had many men who thought they were gods, who thought they would become gods, but there is only one true God who became men.

  118. So as we come to this ascension, it's always good to explain the ascension because it's not one of those self-explanatory feasts.

  119. You know, yesterday at 10 a.m., there was a mass of the ordination to the diaconate for the Diocese of Savannah.

  120. Three young men were ordained deacons, and next year they will be ordained priests, God's willing.

  121. And so as I was sitting there, I was sitting on this side of the sanctuary looking this way.

  122. So on this side was this beautiful stained glass window of the ascension.

  123. And I thought to myself, this is great because I have to preach about it, so I'll just look at it the whole time and come up with the homily.

  124. And so as I was looking at it, I thought it was very human.

  125. because, you know, just the portrayer of the relationship between Jesus and his father.

  126. But before that, on the other side of the cathedral is the assumption.

  127. image.

  128. And the assumption, of course, is of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is piously praying.

  129. And then on the top of the window is Jesus, her son, God, Jesus Christ, with a beautiful crown holding it in front of him for our lady to be assumed into heaven, and then he will place that beautiful crown on her head.

  130. And you know, she will be crowned the queen of heaven and earth as we pray in the mystery of the rosary.

  131. but on this side we have got the father on top of the stained glass window and he's he's reaching out like this with this great joy depicted on his face reaching out to his son who is ascending like this to his father and like as if the father wanted to reach and couldn't wait for the son to end up in his arms and i think you know if you have memories like that with your father

  132. That's, you know, one of those most consoling, safe places, we would say, and you should cherish them.

  133. Because of course, there will be your moments of security subconsciously without you even knowing.

  134. But finally, at last, Jesus is going to the Father, right?

  135. He said that to Mary Magdalene, don't touch me because I have not yet ascended to the Father, but now he's actually going back.

  136. And of course, that reminds us.

  137. of our destiny.

  138. If we only want to stay close to Jesus, like as if grab, you know, his hands and go with him, we have that opportunity every single time.

  139. We are at Mass, which is the preparation for us to enter into heaven one day.

  140. And so heaven is our destiny and the welcoming father, right?

  141. He's our spiritual father.

  142. Now I was on the way back talking to my mother on the phone.

  143. yesterday, and she was having not the best day, even though the weather was nice, you know, in Poland too, and yesterday it was nice, but she was just having one of those days.

  144. And it was so bad in a sense that she would say, like, she mentioned something about dying or death, you know, like as if death was going to be deliberation.

  145. And so when she said it, I was just like, I don't know what to say, right?

  146. Everybody expects the son priest, right, to...

  147. know what to say, know how to comfort.

  148. But in moments like this, you don't know, like, should I say something?

  149. Is this a trap?

  150. Like, she's going to, like, lure me in.

  151. And so, but then I was driving, so I just said, something about heaven.

  152. And she goes, oh, you want me dead?

  153. And.

  154. So this is a warning for you, you know, you're trying to comfort your parents.

  155. Don't talk about heaven, right?

  156. Because they'll think that you're trying to get rid of them and, you know, take possession of their possessions.

  157. Like, so I was lured into the trap and I, of course, as a good son, trying to comfort my mother, got what I deserve, by the way.

  158. So this is what you deserve.

  159. But anyways, I do believe it.

  160. I do believe the fact that here is not heaven.

  161. I keep saying it to people when they are usually surprised with like experiencing evil, experiencing this, experiencing that this is not heaven.

  162. This was never meant to be perfect.

  163. It will never be perfect.

  164. And when I was saying it to my mother, I really hope and I really pray that one day she will be in heaven and experience this, there is no more void, there is no more sadness, there is no more bad days, there's no more illness, there's no more missing somebody, longing.

  165. None of it.

  166. We are complete.

  167. We are fulfilled.

  168. We are in joy with God.

  169. And that's what it says today.

  170. It says that the apostles...

  171. When Jesus was ascending and blessing them, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

  172. Why?

  173. Well, because they saw something that gave them so much security and joy, no matter what's going to happen to them, and we know what happened to them.

  174. They were murdered.

  175. They were killed.

  176. But in a way, they were showing, we don't care.

  177. You want to kill me?

  178. Kill me.

  179. Because they saw the reality of heaven.

  180. They know they're going to leave this world, and that's why they went and continually...

  181. prayed in the temple continually.

  182. And so we are invited to this reality of heaven where there is no imperfection.

  183. You know, I think to children, we sometimes have to explain, like, this world is not perfect, right?

  184. It's not a cartoon.

  185. Or to young couples, right, very young ones who are like in so fascinated with each other, they just, you know how they are.

  186. And they just, you know, cannot comprehend that like marriage is not going to be perfect, you know.

  187. And so we sometimes the priest will tell them, like, it's not going to be perfect.

  188. Like, what do you mean?

  189. So you can ask those who have been married for a few months, they'll tell you.

  190. But that's how it's meant to be.

  191. You know, even for the richest people on the face of the earth, right?

  192. They can have all these billions of dollars and build a nice racket that costs billions of dollars and then the rocket explodes after a few seconds in the air.

  193. And like, that's a bad day, right?

  194. The same with all of us.

  195. And that's how it's going to be.

  196. But Jesus ascended into heaven not to abandon us.

  197. And that's the key.

  198. We don't believe in God who abandons us.

  199. We don't believe like those Greek gods that were playing with people, like laughing at them and they didn't exist, but one who leaves us, but leaves himself with us under the species of the body and blood, on the Eucharist.

  200. And not only himself, he leaves to us the sacred heart.

  201. We call the sacred heart of Jesus.

  202. His most intense, loving presence, the heart of Jesus, which is of course crowned with thorns, which is bleeding for the humanity, but it's the best give God could ever give us.

  203. And we have it in every single celebration of the Eucharist.

  204. And when Saint Margaret Mary Alacocque, who had the apparitions of Jesus of the Sacred Heart,

  205. She said that Jesus appeared to her in an ascended Lord as the ascended Lord, the glorified one, and he was profoundly human and he was intimately close to her.

  206. That's what we want to cherish in the gift of the Eucharist.

  207. And in our faith, as Catholics, we are the only Christians on the face of the earth that have it.

  208. We should cherish it.

  209. This is what Jesus said to her.

  210. Behold this heart which has loved so loved man that has spared nothing even to exhausting and consuming itself to testify to them its love.

  211. And in return, I receive from the greater number of them nothing but in gratitude.

  212. We don't want to be the greater number of them.

  213. We want to be the minority that offers Jesus attention and offers Jesus comfort.

  214. And how do we offer him attention and comfort?

  215. By ordering our lives to the Eucharist, by ordering our lives so that when we receive Jesus, our hearts are prepared.

  216. They are on fire with love and they are not stained by mortal sin.

  217. Because if we came to receive him in a state of moral sin, he could say to us, how could you do this to me?

  218. How could you do this to me?

  219. Just like someone you loved the most and you cross them, betrayal, whatever, they would say to you, how could you do this to me?

  220. Like I gave you my heart, I gave you everything, raise your children, all of that.

  221. The same with Jesus.

  222. He gave us literally everything.

  223. That's why we have to order our lives, ordering our lives towards the Eucharist, meaning that I have to live in such a way that I can receive him in a state of grace.

  224. I have to do everything in my possible way that I can receive him.

  225. And if I cannot, I don't.

  226. Because he is...

  227. good to me because he's God and that's what he wants.

  228. And so that's the beautiful paradox that God leaves, but he stays in the gift of the Eucharist.

  229. He sends us the Holy Spirit.

  230. He overshadows us with the Holy Spirit.

  231. He heals us in this.

  232. And so the ascension challenges us to live as people who are rooted in heaven.

  233. And that's what I was trying to help my mother with understanding.

  234. Like, I know it's not a perfect day.

  235. But one day in heaven, you know, when we all meet there, it's going to be.

  236. We hope.

  237. You guys, we may, you want to be in heaven, I presume, and you have people who you're like, don't like and can't stand.

  238. And you just cannot imagine them being in heaven, but just imagine.

  239. They're going to be completely different.

  240. They're going to be wholesome and beautiful and in a way that you never imagined they could be.

  241. They will be the best versions of themselves and more.

  242. And that's what I wish for my mother.

  243. That's what I was trying to come across to communicate, but I didn't, couldn't do it really effectively in this traffic, you know.

  244. But that's what I wish.

  245. and also for myself.

  246. And that's what Jesus is inviting us so that the Father is welcoming us just like Him.

  247. And so in this month of Sacred Heart, we will expose the Blessed Sacrament at the end of Mass for a few minutes to sing the litany of the Sacred Heart so that you can offer all of your intentions to the open heart of Jesus, this one Sunday of the month.

  248. The heart that is burning with mercy.

  249. and peers for our sins.

  250. When he says to us continuously at every single mass, come to me all of you who are burdened and I will restore you.

  251. The Eucharist is the enduring gift of the ascended Lord.

  252. Away he fulfills his promise.

  253. I am with you always till the end of time.

  254. St.

  255. John Paul II put it beautifully.

  256. He said this, in the Eucharist.

  257. The heart of Jesus continues to beat with love for humanity.

  258. So in every Holy Communion, we don't just touch heaven.

  259. Heaven touches us.

  260. I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

  261. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father, through Him all things were made.

  262. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became men.

  263. For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilate.

  264. He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures.

  265. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

  266. He will come again in glory to judge the living and a dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

  267. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, a giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, where the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

  268. I believe in one holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

  269. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

  270. Amen.

  271. With confidence, let us bring our needs before the Father.

  272. For our Holy Father and his leadership as head of Christ's body on earth, may the Holy Spirit grant him counsel and wisdom.

  273. Let us pray to the Lord.

  274. For leaders who have been entrusted with care for God's creation, may the Lord enlighten them in their decision making.

  275. Let us pray to the Lord.

  276. For conversion of those using contraception and sterilization and for the renewal of marriages, let us pray to the Lord.

  277. For the intentions of this mass for the benefactors of our parish, living and deceased, for whom this mass is being offered, let us pray to the Lord.

  278. For our own intentions, which we offer now in silence.

  279. Let us pray to the Lord.

  280. For vocations as we pray our diocese in prayer.

  281. O God, hear our prayer.

  282. Let our cry come on to you.

  283. Bless our diocese of Savannah, with many vocations to the priesthood, the archonate, and religious life.

  284. Give the men and women you call, the light to understand your gift, and the love to follow always in the footsteps of your priestly son.

  285. Amen.

  286. Almighty Father, we bring these prayers before you, knowing that you care for our every need.

  287. We ask that you answer them according to your providence.

  288. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

  289. Amen.

  290. Today's second collection is for continued maintenance of our facilities, and during communion time, we invite Catholics who are in the state of grace to come forward to receive the Eucharist.

  291. Please be careful when using the altar railing, take your time and be careful when standing up and descending the step down.

  292. And if you are not Catholic or not ready to receive Jesus, you can come forward with your arms cross to receive a blessing.

  293. If you're capable of kneeling, please kneel for communion.

  294. heavenly.

  295. Why do you stand here to become at no time?

  296. This he does not have been taken from you

  297. into the heavens.

  298. Alleluia, we will repent.

  299. Just as you're born in your heart, into the heavens.

  300. And we're going to be able to stay the rest of the day

  301. The Lord is great, the king of the earth.

  302. I think the Lord of God.

  303. Listen to me, Lord of your creation.

  304. For goodness, we have received this wine.

  305. We offer you a fruit of divine and work of human hands and will become our spiritual for us and God for us.

  306. Thank you.

  307. dream of life.

  308. We'll be blessed with life.

  309. We'll be faster the day as may to the love for us.

  310. Praise sisters and brothers that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the Almighty Father.

  311. We offer sacrifice now in supplication, O Lord, to honor the wondrous ascension of your son.

  312. Grand we pray that through this most holy exchange, we too, may rise up to the heavenly realms through Christ, our Lord.

  313. Amen.

  314. The Lord be with you.

  315. lift up your hearts.

  316. Let us give thanks to the Lord.

  317. Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.

  318. It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord Holy Father Almighty and eternal God.

  319. For the Lord Jesus, the King of Glory, conqueror of sin and death, ascended today to the highest heavens as the angels gazed in wonder, mediator between God and men, judge of the world and Lord of hosts,

  320. He ascended not to distance himself from our lowly state, but that we his members might be confident of following where he are ahead and founder has gone before.

  321. Therefore, overcome with Pascal, joy every land, every people exalts in your praise, and even the heavenly powers with the angelic host, sing together the unending hymn of your glory as they acclaim.

  322. Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of host.

  323. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

  324. Oh, Sonna, Hosna in the heart.

  325. bless to see who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna

  326. You are indeed holy, O Lord, the fount of our holiness.

  327. Make holy, therefore, these gifts we pray, by sending down your spirit upon them like the doofal, so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  328. At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion, he took bread, and giving thanks broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this all of you and eat of it, for this is my body which will be given up for you.

  329. In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice, and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this all of you and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

  330. Do this in memory of me.

  331. The mystery of faith.

  332. When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death.

  333. Until you come again.

  334. Therefore, as we celebrate a memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.

  335. Humbly, we pray that partaking of the body and blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

  336. Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world and bring her to the fullness of charity together with Leo, our Pope, and Stephen, our bishop, and all the clergy.

  337. Also our brothers and sisters, benefactors of this parish, who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy, welcome them into the light of your face.

  338. Have mercy on us all we pray that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph her spouse, with the blessed apostles,

  339. And all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages with St.

  340. Anne, St.

  341. Faustina, we may merit to be coerced to eternal life and may praise and glorify you through your son, Jesus Christ.

  342. Through Him and with Him and in Him, O God Almighty Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, O glory and honor is yours forever and ever.
