Ascension of the Lord
Christ and the Church
The ascension is but one moment in
the single whole of the paschal
mystery. In the death, resurrection and
glorification of Jesus and in the
sending of the Spirit, God has reconciled and renewed the world. Because
history still continues, the fullness of
God’s kingdom is not yet among us.
And yet something definitive has
happened, something that can never be denied or taken away
or undermined.
Jesus lives, he lives as the eternal priest and good shepherd,
as the one seated at the right hand of God. He intercedes for
us, guides us, shares his life with us, draws us into his
worship. He does all these things in a special way in and
through the church. It is called to be a visible sign of his
continuing love and compassion, his forgiveness and peace.
Today’s liturgy renews our awareness of all this. The joy
and the peace that it brings should not, however, allow us to
forget our mission. Between the time of Jesus and the fulfillment of all things in the end, the church and all its members
are called to be witnesses of Christ, people who keep alive
in the world his message and who reflect in their lives the
new life in the Spirit that his death and resurrection have
gained for us.
—Preparing for Worship
Mary, on this day when we honor
all mothers, we turn to you. We thank the
Lord whom you serve for the great gift of
motherhood. Never has it been known that
anyone who sought your intercession was
left unaided by grace. Dear Mother, thank
you for your "Yes" to the invitation of the
angel which brought heaven to earth and
changed human history. You opened
yourself to God's word and the Word was
made flesh and dwelt among us.
Happy
Mother’s Day!
Dear Mother, intercede for all of our mothers. Ask your Divine
Son to give them the grace of surrendered love so that they could
join with you in giving their own "Fiat." May they find daily the
strength to say yes to the call of sacrificial love - the very heart of
the vocation of motherhood. May their love and witness be a
source of great inspiration for all of us called to follow your Son.
On this Mother’s day, Mother of the Word Incarnate, pray for us
who have recourse to you... In the Name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit. Amen

Annual Appeal
Update
It’s not too late to make
a donation to the 2016 Annual Catholic
Appeal. While our pledge amount is up, our
participation rate is down! We have about 50
less people pledging this year as compared
to last year’s appeal.
To date, we have received $34,000 in
pledges and we are grateful to all of you who
have stepped up to make those donations. It
would be even better if we had everyone’s
participation and we invite those who have
yet to pledge to prayerfully consider how you
can support this appeal with your donation.
Do you want to learn how to PRAY in color?
With papers and markers,
you will draw closer to God.
Join us for our next Prayer Class

Not only when we are at Mass and parish activities, but when we are in the world, at work or at school. Living gratefully
and generously is a lifestyle, it’s how we should make all our decisions.

Calling all
St. Didacus School Alumni!

May 11th at 8:30am for a special
school celebration of the parish’s
90th Anniversary.
Everyone is Welcome to
Attend the
Anointing of the Sick Mass
Saturday, May 14
9am
You’ve been hearing about the St.
Didacus Mental Health Ministry. It’s a
new ministry starting up here at the
parish. If you’re interested in knowing
more, join them at their meeting on
Thursday, May 12th at 7pm in the Parish Hall.
You are invited to the
St. Didacus Mental Health
Ministry’s Educational
Presentation of
Bridges of Hope
Monday, May 23rd
7pm in the Parish Hall
Bridges of Hope is a faith-based look at mental health
and how the church can be empowered to make a
difference in the lives of those affected by mental illness.
Julie Benn, a representative from NAMI (National
Alliance on Mental Illness) will be the speaker for this
45-minute presentation.
On November 15, 1930, Fr. Luke
Deignan became the second pastor
of St. Didacus Church. His
mission was to get a school built.
All his efforts were realized when St. Didacus
School was built and dedicated on September 17,
1939.
Don’t forget about your
photography appointments
this week! Lifetouch photographers will be in the
Parish Hall May 11-15th.
If you haven’t signed up to have your photo
taken for our directory, contact the Parish
Office and we’ll find a time for you!
We’ve added more days of photography!
May 25—29!
In celebration of our
parish’s 90th anniversary
this year, Fr. Mike is asking
for you to submit your own
special prayers that we
might use to commemorate the year during
meetings, possibly at the end of Mass and at
other activities during the remainder of the year.
We can use prayers submitted from our grammar
school children, from our teenagers and from our
adults. The prayer should be about the same
general length as "The Our Father." We would
also like to have a prayer we can use in Spanish.
The deadline for the submission of prayers is
June 1st. The staff will look them over and decide
which ones seem best suited for use in the parish
during the remainder of the year. Start praying
and writing!!!!

Corporal Works of Mercy
Casa de los Pobres
We were recently contacted by the Sisters of the
Franciscan Order, Missionaries of Our Lady of Peace
who run Casa de los Pobres, “the House of the Poor”
in Tijuana, stating that funding for the Casa is declining and currently only one meal a day is offered to the
approximately 800 poor and homeless who line up
each day for assistance including limited medical
attention.
When Mother Teresa visited the area years ago, she
exclaimed that through her travel around the world
where the poor and homeless abounded, the people
being cared for by Missionaries in Tijuana were the
poorest of the poor.
They are seeking donations to be able to meet the
needs of those they serve. You can help them directly
by making a check out to Casa De Los Pobres USA
and sending it to: Casa De Los Pobres USA, P.O.
Box 9596, San Diego, CA 92169. They also accept
gift cards such as Costco, Von’s and Ralph’s. There is
also a link to donate directly on their website
casadelospobresusa.com.

La Ascensión del Señor
Se elevo a la vista de ellos
San Lucas ha escrito dos libros: el
evangelio de Lucas y los Hechos
de los apóstoles. Al inicio de los
Hechos, Lucas quiere mostramos
también que Jesús ha sido
glorificado por Dios: ha entrado
en la gloria del Padre. Separa
ambos eventos la resurrección y la ascensión,
subraya el carácter histórico que cada uno de ellos
tiene. Jesús resucitado, antes de su ascensiónexaltación-glorificación, convive con sus discípulos:
come con ellos y los instruye. La ascensión de
Jesús señala, la tensión en la que entra la
comunidad de los discípulos desde aquel
momento, una vez que han terminado las
apariciones del Resucitado: tensión entre la
ausencia y al mismo tiempo la presencia del Señor.
Jesús continúa su acción y enseñanza después de
ser llevado al cielo; Jesús resucitado sigue
actuando y enseñando en la comunidad después
de su ascensión. Lucas une íntimamente la
ausencia física de Jesus con la presencia en la
comunidad de creyentes del Espíritu Santo.
ORACION POR LAS MADRES
Señor Jesús, gracias por las madres que nos has dado. Te pedimos para que las ayudes, en sus
necesidades de educar, nutrir y
acompañar.
Que la Virgen las
llene de fortaleza y siga siendo
su modelo. Señor, ilumina la vida de nuestras madres, con la luz
del Espíritu Santo. Premia sus
desvelos y trabajos. Dales el descanso eterno a
nuestras madres difuntas… Y bendice todos nuestros hogares. Amén.
