Prayer is the foundation of our Faith and the foundation of Stewardship. Pray in good times and in bad. Prayer is always the first best option in any situation, not just the last resort. Pray for friends and family and for those that don’t treat you very well. Pray to give praise, to thank and to ask God for help. Pray to see what God wants you to do with the gifts He has given you. That we learn to pray not only in bad times, but also in good times. Pray for family, friends and those that may not treat us well. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The custom of genuflection is not found everywhere in the Catholic Church. In fact, it is a bit of breach of etiquette to genuflect in most Eastern Catholic Churches. If you're visiting an Eastern Catholic or an Orthodox church, the "when in Rome" rule should be adopted. Watch what the home team is doing! Usually, Eastern Catholics and Orthodox reserve a small portion of the Eucharistic bread for the dying in a cupboard or Eucharistic dove, but it is not a center of attention or devotion. The rule is to make a profound bow, called a "metasis," toward the altar--bowing deeply while making the sign of the cross. East and West split years before we Westerners began to reserve the Blessed Sacrament prominently in our churches. Thus, the East never changed the original custom of bowing toward the altar. Increasingly, as tabernacles became more widespread in the West and moved into prominent placement within churches, we replaced the bow toward the altar with a genuflection toward the Blessed Sacrament when its place of reservation is visible . In a church where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in a special chapel or off the main axis of the building, normally you should bow toward the altar when you enter your pew, because the Eucharistic table is the principal sign of Christ's presence in the church building. If you have ever participated in the liturgy of Dedication of a Church and Altar, there is no mistaking the altar's significance: it is first slathered with chrism and then adorned with a brazier billowing clouds of incense that fill the whole church as a sign of prayer and presence! --Rev. James Field, (c) Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
GLENNON SUNDAY – WEEKEND OF JUNE 3-4, 2017 SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is the only free-standing Catholic pediatric hospital in the country, touching the lives of more than 200,000 children each year. Please show your support, along with the thousands across the region in the spirit of giving on Glennon Sunday weekend June 3-4, 2017. Each year, donations to Glennon Sunday benefit the Children’s Fund to meet the immediate needs of the hospital. Proceeds from this year’s Glennon Sunday appeal will support the ongoing needs of the hospital, including inpatient oncology and cardiology care. Please be as generous as you are able. SHARE THE HOPE The readings for today's celebration of the Ascension of the Lord once again remind us that as Christians we are people of hope. In the second reading Saint Paul eloquently exhorts the Ephesians to enlighten their hearts so that they will know the hope and glory that come from being people who place their trust in the Lord Jesus. In the story of the Ascension, recounted in the first reading, the Lord Jesus assures the disciples that the Holy Spirit's power will come upon them. Finally, in the Gospel, the Lord lets the disciples know that their mission is to spread the hope of the gospel to all the nations. This wonderful feast keeps our eyes focused on the hope in which we were grounded on the day of our baptism. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

INTERCESSIONS FOR LIFE For those feeling lonely or abandoned: That they find comfort in the care of others and consolation in God’s Spirit of glory; We pray to the Lord: MEMORIAL DAY They fell, but o'er their glorious grave Floats free the banner of the cause they died to save. --Francis Marion Crawford
REST, RENEWAL, AND REJUVENATION I love summer. I love the hotter temperatures and extended hours of sunlight. I love how summer seems to bring with it a certain kind of energy and interior warmth different from other times of the year. Ok, honestly, this probably has a lot to do with how as a kid summer meant school getting out! Anyway, whatever the reason may be, summer has usually been a refreshing time compared to the busy and sometimes tiring other times of the year. I cannot help but think about how perfectly this season corresponds with our current liturgical season, and the opportunities we are offered for rejuvenation in our ministries. We are in the warmth of the Easter season, the warmth of journeying towards a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the warmth of being in May, a month dedicated to Mary. For me, I know that I am feeling this warmth with even more intensity with the 100th anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima commencing and the 50th anniversary of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal that will be celebrated in Rome on Pentecost. As I have reflected on these jubilees and the current liturgical season, I have seen how God has renewed my zeal and excitement, refreshing me in my ministry. I have been reminded how important it is to continually examine our lives and our ministries for areas that are in need of the Lord's restoration. We can ask ourselves the following questions. Have I become discouraged in my ministry? Have I been indifferent in any way to the ministry to which God has called me? Have I lost my joy or peace in the Lord? If we are honest with ourselves, we can allow the Lord to renew us in these areas of our lives. In his encyclical Redemptoris Missio, Pope Saint John Paul II wrote, "Internal and external difficulties must not make us pessimistic or inactive. What counts here, as in every area of Christian life, is the confidence that comes from faith, from the certainty that it is not we who are the principal agents of the Church's mission, but Jesus Christ and his Spirit. We are only co-workers, and when we have done all that we can, we must say: 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty' (Lk 17:10)." Reflecting on this quote has been a powerful reminder to me that if I am finding myself discouraged or frustrated, cynical or pessimistic, I am looking to myself rather than the Lord; I have fallen into the trap of trusting myself rather than God. In those times, I need to turn to the Lord and ask Him to renew my faith and remind me that I am a mere instrument in His glorious plan of salvation. I pray that we may embrace the joy of this time, reflecting and praying for a new refreshment and zeal in our lives and in our ministries. May we follow Mary's perfect example of faith and the Apostles' docility to the Holy Spirit, not giving into the temptation to become discouraged. Then, we can truly serve God's people and bring them His love. Kim Becvar is the Pan y Amor Coordinator in the Mission Office of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
COMMUNICATION Four strategies to improve our daily communication Going long form, practicing humility, empathy and silence can make all the difference Gretchen R. Crowe OSV Newsweekly In his message for the World Day of Social Communications, this year celebrated on May 28, Pope Francis said it was his desire “to encourage everyone to engage in constructive forms of communication that reject prejudice toward others and foster a culture of encounter, helping all of us to view the world around us with realism and trust.” In this era where communication sometimes seems only to exist in tweets, texting, Facebook posts and email — and in which such terse forms of communication can lead to misunderstanding — perhaps it’s worth considering the following four strategies to help us communicate more effectively, with more truth, to help us gain more trust. These suggestions aren’t just for professional communicators but for each of us as we navigate the blessings and challenges of communication in the 21st century. Go long form. Texts, tweets and emails have their place, but many of us tend to over-rely on these forms of communication. A healthier strategy would be to consider going “long form.” When tempted to text, make a phone call. When tempted to email, write an actual “snail mail” letter or card — something so rare these days that they are all the more valuable. If you are unable to meet face to face, consider taking advantage of technology to enhance communication by making a call via Skype or Facetime. A little eye contact can go a long way to improving dialogue. Practice humility. When we mess up, we need to be able to admit when we have made a mistake or we have done wrong. Because humility is so countercultural today, we find ourselves better able to earn trust when we admit our gaffes. This includes when we misstate or misrepresent factual information in a professional setting or when we find ourselves locked in a prideful battle within family life. Put yourself in the shoes of the other. When communicating, whether in person with someone we love or responding to commenters on Facebook, we enhance our ability to fully engage in the conversation when we do our best to consider the point of view of the other. Just because a person has a different opinion from our own does not mean that person is the enemy. When we treat others with their basic God-given human dignity, we not only make them more open to what we are saying, we grow closer to holiness by practicing the theological virtue of charity.
Choose to say nothing. Sometimes the best form of communication is not communicating at all. This is particularly true in the heat of the moment, when tensions are high, in a forum where you are not face to face with the individual with whom you are speaking. If someone has said something unkind to you, take a moment before responding. Say a prayer for that individual. THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD LOOK, UP IN THE SKY! Around holidays, people tend to look fondly back on past celebrations and romanticize old relationships. For some, remembering the past is the best part of their holiday. That is the image we get from the first reading as the apostles look up to heaven after the Ascension. They think it is Jesus' last Resurrection appearance and that they will never see him again. Maybe they were still amazed at seeing him ascend that way. Or maybe they were remembering all the things he said and did with them. We too sometimes look at the great feasts of Christmas and Easter in that way. We may dwell on the beauty of the decorations, on the innocence of the baby Jesus, on the horror of his passion and death, or on the wonder of his resurrection. Then when the holy day is over, we go back to our normal routine. Perhaps we need an angel to chide us for "looking at the sky." The angels were trying to tell the apostles two things. One was that Jesus would return as he left--in glory. This was not a time to say goodbye but a time of hope; the Lord who had changed their lives so radically would change the world next. While they certainly should remember Jesus and all he taught them, they should also expect to see him again. Once they received the Holy Spirit, they would see how Jesus was present in the church, the mystical Body of Christ. The second thing the angels were telling them was to begin following Jesus' command to spread the good news to all nations. They would soon realize that Jesus was alive in them, not just as a fond memory, but with the power of his Spirit. With this power they would do mighty deeds in Jesus' name and be his witnesses to the world. Because of what the apostles accomplished, we are now Jesus' witnesses to the world. We celebrate his death and resurrection not as a fond memory, but to encourage each other to spread the Good News. We too have the hope of seeing Jesus come in glory, even as we see him now with the eyes of faith. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. BIG MOUTH What should not be heard by little ears should not be said by big mouths. --Anonymous
STEWARDSHIP ALIVE Stewardship: The Truth Will Set You Free By: David Baranowski "Don't pray the way you normally do. Instead take these next three days in silence and listen to what God has to say to you." These were the words that our spiritual director, Fr. James Kubicki, said as he opened the first retreat I attended at the White House Jesuit Retreat Center 10 years ago. These were the words that changed my life. I was very self-centered most of my life, including in the way I prayed. My prayers were always "negotiations" with God. "God, if you do this for me, I'll do that for you." This is how I prayed. Until I heard Fr. Kubicki say those words 10 years ago, I had never once in my life asked God what He wanted me to do, that's how selfcentered I was. It took me 47 years to realize that I couldn't do it on my own. It took me 47 years to admit that I was broken and needed God. It was 10 years ago that I started my relationship with God. I have always believed in God, but He was always someone I read about, I never took the time to get to know Him personally. Today, I spend a lot more time listening and a lot less time talking when in prayer. For me, the more I pray and align my thoughts and actions with God's plan for me, the more peace and joy He gives to me. There are fewer "forks in the road" and the path is becoming clearer for me. Instead of treating God like a genie in a bottle that I hope grants me wishes, I treat Him like my Father, my Brother and my Friend. As my relationship with God has strengthened, so has my relationship with my family and friends. We can't give what we don't have. We have to open ourselves to receive God's love and mercy before we can give it to others and live the life God has in store for us. As it says in John's Gospel "if you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free."

Thank you for all your support to our beautiful, historic Chapel! THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD Today we celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven, his departure after the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and all the appearances to the disciples. Acts and Ephesians look back at the time just before Jesus leaves and then at its immediate aftermath, still trying to understand what has happened and what is expected of those who were left behind. The readings remind us that the disciples are still not certain what all this means to them. But one thing is certain: Jesus is gone and they are struggling with what to do next. Matthew tells us that even as they believed in Jesus, they doubted. Jesus responds to their doubt with a call to work. He tells them to "make disciples of all nations." UP, UP AND AWAY The reading from Acts gives us a pretty complete description of the Ascension. Jesus was lifted up and taken from their sight but not before the disciples ask lots of questions about what will happen. The disciples are still thinking that the kingdom of Israel will be restored. Jesus answers them with a promise of power from the Holy Spirit and a commission that they be witnesses not just to Israel but to the ends of the earth. But the disciples are still thinking small. Jesus knows that the meaning of his death and resurrection is not small. Ephesians offers a glimpse of the great gifts of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The disciples cannot even imagine what this means for them as they stand staring into the sky. Jesus tells them one more time that their work is to tell everyone about his life and work, to baptize them, and to teach them his commandments. NEVER CAN SAY GOOD-BYE The disciples still thought this was just about their life and their world. They are reminded by Jesus that what they have lived through with him, his life, death, and resurrection, is greater and more far-reaching than they can yet imagine. This is not just about the kingdom of Israel. This is about all nations. This is not just about witnessing in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. This work will take them to the ends of the earth. It is an enormous undertaking that we and the disciples have been given. It seemed impossible to the disciples then and it seems impossible to us now. But it is not. It is possible because we are not alone in this work. Jesus is with us not for a day or a week or even our lifetime. Jesus is with us always, until the end of the age. Copyright (c) J. S.
