May 24, 2020 — The Ascension of the Lord
“I am praying for them…” (John 17:9)
Prayer is the foundation of our faith and the foundation of steward-
ship. 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.

Just a bit from Fr. Schmidt Getting Warmer
It’s great to see the return of so much that is green around us, on the trees and in lawns and pastures. Next Sunday is already the Feast of Pentecost. Please pray especially for the Gift of the Holy Spirit upon those of our parishes who will be confirmed and those recently confirmed. Here are more questions from our 5th and 6th graders:
7. Do the sacraments always give grace?
Yes, although we may not always be in the proper state to receive that grace. One of the purposes of the sacraments is to give us certitude that these are moments of God’s definite action and grace. Whenever the sacraments are celebrated by the properly authorized minister (usually a priest) according to the will of Christ and His Church, we can know for certain that God Himself is present and giving His grace in and through those sacraments.
But there are times when we are not properly receptive to God’s grace. Someone in a state of mortal sin who attempts to receive the Eucharist in Holy Communion, for example, receives the Body and Blood of Christ but sins against them, as St. Paul describes in 1 Cor. 11, eating and drinking judgment upon himself. These are called sacrilegious or unworthy Communions that are grave sins in themselves. Anyone aware of serious sins on one’s soul must confess those and be ab-solved to become receptive once more to grace of the Eucharist.
8. What is a Nuptial Mass?
This usually just refers to a Wedding Mass or the Ritual Mass for the Celebration of Matrimony that includes many special prayers for the couple or couples being married at that Mass. Catholic weddings can also take place in church apart from the celebration of the Eucharist or as part of the Mass of a major Feast, even though the prayers of the Mass on cer-tain Feast days would need to pertain more to the Feast rather than the wedding, and these would not normally be called Nuptial Masses.
9. What is meant by divine Tradition?
Usually called Sacred or Apostolic Tradition, this refers to everything that is publicly revealed by God and handed down from the Apostles for our salvation apart from what has been committed to writing in Sacred Scripture. There were many things Jesus taught his disciples which they ob-served and handed on even before any of the New Testament had been written. The New Testament is also not very detailed when it comes to certain aspects of Christian life or liturgy.
Word of Life “Everyone is in need of reassurance, and if we, who have touched ’the Word of life’ (1 Jn 1:1) do not give it, who will? How beautiful it is to be Christians who offer consolation, who bear the burdens of others and who offer encouragement: messengers of life in a time of death!”
