The Feast of the Ascension is really a kind of liminal moment

in the Easter season. It is a time between times; a moment when we

have left one place, but have not yet arrived at a second. While the
narratives that describe the Ascension fit well into the unfolding
story of redemption, the feast celebrates the exaltation of Jesus. The
readings allow us to focus on this theological point while we com-
memorate a turning point in the life of the church. We do this by
considering the enthronement of Christ in the heavens and the new
body of Christ on earth.

Many of the Easter accounts have directed our attention to the ap-
pearances of Jesus which were intended to strengthen the Christians'
belief in his bodily resurrection.

Today we stand awestruck, watching Jesus ascend into the clouds of heaven, there to be en-
throned at the right hand of God. Today is a day to be overwhelmed by the reality of the divinity
of the one whom we have known in his humanity.

Christ who ascended into heaven in his body carries on what he began on earth through his new
body, the community of believers. He teaches through its apostles and evangelists. He ministers
through its prophets and pastors. We have not been left alone; we have his power, the same power
with which he performed marvels when he walked the earth. We have not been left alone; we
have each other. Together we make up the new body of Christ. © Dianne Bergant CSA

Dear friends in Christ,

As we celebrate the Diocesan Year of the Eucharist, amidst our 50th Anniversary year, how can
we build up the Body of Christ — our community at Christ the King? When we come to Mass, do
we come on time or leave early? When we move into the pew, do we move towards the center so
others do not have to crawl over us? Thank you on behalf of Bill and I for your singing at
Masses. It is so nice to see everyone using their song book and singing. Keep up God’s work in
your lives. Let us strive to bring the healing presence of Jesus to all our brothers and sisters who
enter the doors of our worship space (where we celebrate the Mass).

The staff would like to thank you for the many ways you bless our ministry. Know that our doors
are always open. Have a blessed week.

Fr. Peter

"Almighty and Eternal God, behold I come to the Sacrament of Your

only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. As one sick, I come to the Physician
of life; unclean, to the Fountain of mercy; blind, to the Light of eternal
splendor; poor and needy, to the Lord of heaven and earth. Therefore, I beg of
You, through Your infinite mercy and generosity, heal my weakness, wash my
uncleanness, give light to my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe
my nakedness. May I thus receive the Bread of Angels, the King of Kings,
the Lord of Lords, with such reverence and humility, contrition and
devotion, purity and faith, purpose and intention, as shall aid my soul's
salvation ..." (St. Thomas Aquinas).

Why Exposition and Adoration?

I started attending Adoration when it first
began. It was to be a Lenten Devotion.
While here I am a few years later and still
going. My husband now attends also, The Blessed Sacrament is exposed
since his retirement.

it!
What a gift to share!
Karen & Ed Schumann, Parishioners

- From the writings of Blessed Katherine Drexel, the first Sister of the Blessed Sacrament:

"My sweetest Joy is to be in the presence of Jesus in the holy Sacrament. I beg that when
obliged to withdraw in body, I may leave my heart before the holy Sacrament.
How I would miss Our Lord if He were to be away from me by His presence in the
Blessed Sacrament!" "The Eucharist is a never-ending sacrifice. It is the Sacrament of love,
the supreme love, the act of love." "Christ wishes the Christian Community to be a body that is
perfect because we work together towards a single end, and the higher the motive which
actuates this collaboration the higher, no doubt, will be the union. Now the end in
question is supremely exalted: the continuous sanctification of the Body for the
glory of God and the Lamb that was slain [Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament]."

• To help young people identify with the bigger
Church outside the walls of Christ the King.
• To recognize and name the gifts of our young
people in the Body of Christ and teach them how
to use them for the good of the local church and
beyond.
• To disciple the young as Jesus “discipled” his
followers, by offering them the opportunity for
Christian Service and reflection closer to home.
• To build bridges of understanding, faith, and ma-
terial support by immersing people of all back-
grounds in the shared Gospel message.

Ascension of our Lord. We now take the
