The Ascension of our Lord
May 17, 2015
Pastor’s Corner
Feast of the Ascencion
On the Feast of the Ascension, the Church does not merely commemorate a historical event in the life of Jesus Christ. On this day, the Church celebrates Jesus Christ's
physical departure from the world and His glorification with God the Father. Ascension
falls on the fortieth day after the Resurrection.
Why did Jesus leave His disciples forty days after His resurrection? Forty is a
significant number in the scriptures. Moses went to the mountain to seek the face of
God for forty days in prayer and fasting. The people of Israel were in the wilderness for
forty years in preparation for their entry into the Promise Land. Elijah fasted for forty
days as he journeyed in the wilderness to the mountain of God. For forty days after His
resurrection Jesus appeared numerous times to His disciples to assure them that He had
risen indeed and to prepare them for the task of carrying on the work which He began
during His ministry on earth.
Jesus’ departure and ascension was both an end and a beginning for His disciples. While it was the end of
Jesus’ physical presence with His beloved disciples, it marked the beginning of Jesus’ presence with them in a new
way. Jesus promised that He would be with them always to the end of time (Mt. 28:20). Now as the glorified and
risen Lord and Savior, ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven, Jesus promised to send them the Holy
Spirit who would anoint them with power on the Feast of Pentecost, just as Jesus was anointed for His ministry at
the River Jordan. When the Lord Jesus departed physically from the apostles, they were not left in sorrow or grief.
Instead, they were filled with joy and with great anticipation for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus’ last words to His apostles point to His saving mission and to their mission to be witnesses of His saving death and His glorious resurrection and to proclaim the good news of salvation to all the world. Their task is to
proclaim the gospel – the good news of salvation – not only to the people of Israel, but to all the nations as well.
God’s love and gift of salvation is not reserved for a few or for one nation alone, but it is for the whole world – for
all who will accept it. The gospel is the power of God, the power to release people from their burden of guilt, sin,
and oppression, and the power to heal, restore, and make us whole.
This is the great commission which the risen Christ gives to the whole church. All believers have been given a share in this task – to be heralds of the good news and ambassadors for Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the
world. We have not been left alone in this task, for the risen Lord works in and through us by the power of His Holy Spirit. Today we witness a new Pentecost as the Lord pours out His Holy Spirit upon His people to renew and
strengthen the Body of Christ and to equip it for effective ministry and mission world-wide.
Points to Ponder: Do you believe in the power of the gospel? Do you witness to others the joy the gospel
and the hope of the resurrection?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, through the gift of your Holy Spirit, you fill us with an indomitable spirit of praise and
joy which no earthly trial can subdue. Fill me with your resurrection joy and help me to live a life of praise and
thanksgiving for your glory. May I witness to those around me the joy of the gospel and the reality of your resurrection. Amen. (www.discerninghearts.com)

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations:
Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts
like your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess.
5:12, 13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests, deacons and religious should
result in a holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are helping our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect
those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

BEREAVEMENT CORNER
Hope everyone had a
peaceful Mother's day. To
help in your transformations
in life, I would like to recommend the following book:
"Growing Wings - the Positive Change"
by Martha Beck. The following quote may help
you to understand the grieving process a little bit
more: "Sadness of loss never completely leaves
your life, it does stop feeling so paralyzing impossible after time". You do not "get over it" because
in order to do so you would have to stop loving
the one who died. Remember the one thing that
death can not take is love. We are here for you Penny Blazej: 760-685-3403.

La Ascensión del Señor
17 de mayo 2015
Esquina del Pastor
Solemnidad de la Ascención
En la Solemnidad de la Ascensión, la Iglesia no sólo conmemora un acontecimiento
histórico en la vida de Jesucristo. En este día, la Iglesia celebra la salida física de Jesús del
mundo y Su glorificación con Dios el Padre. Ascensión cae en el cuadragésimo día después de
la Resurrección.
¿Por qué Jesús dejo a sus discípulos cuarenta días después de su resurrección? Cuarenta es un número importante en las escrituras. Moisés subió a la montaña a buscar el rostro de
Dios por cuarenta días en ayuno y oración. El pueblo de Israel estuvieron en el desierto por
cuarenta años en el proceso de preparación para la entrada en la Tierra Prometida. Elías ayunó
durante cuarenta días, durante viáje en el desierto a la montaña de Dios. Durante cuarenta días
después de Su Resurrección Jesús se apareció varias veces a Su discípulos les aseguro que Él
había resucitado y que los iba a preparar para la tarea de llevar adelante el labor que Él se inició durante su ministerio en la tierra.
La salida de Jesus y ascensión es a la vez un fin y un comienzo para Su discípulos. Mientras que fue la final
presencia física de Jesús con Su discípulos amados, que marcó el comienzo de la presencia de Jesús con ellos de una
manera nueva. Jesús prometió que estaría con ellos siempre hasta el fin de los tiempos (Mt. 28:20). Ahora, ya que el
glorificado y resucitado y Salvador, ascendió a la diestra del Padre en el cielo, Jesús prometió enviar el Espíritu Santo
que unge con el poder en la Solemnidad de Pentecostés, al igual que Jesús fue ungido para su ministerio en el Río
Jordán. Cuando el Señor Jesús se apartó físicamente de los apóstoles, que no se dejan en la tristeza o dolor. En lugar,
ellos se llenaron de alegría y con gran expectación de la venida del Espíritu Santo.
Las últimas palabras de Jesús a sus apóstoles de su misión salvífica y a Su misión de ser testigos de su muerte
redentora y de Su resurrección gloriosa y a anunciar la buena nueva de la salvación a todo el mundo- para todos que
lo acepatan Sus tarea es la de proclamar el evangelio- la buena nueva de la salvación- no sólo para el pueblo de Israel, sino a todas las naciones. Él de Amor de Dios y el don de la salvación no está reservada para unos pocos o para
una sola nación, sino que es para todo el mundo- para todos aquellos que lo acepten. El Evangelio es el poder de Dios, el poder de liberar a las personas de la carga de la culpa, el pecado, y la opresión y el poder de curar, restaurar, y
nos hace completo.
Esta es la gran comisión que Cristo resucitado da a toda la iglesia. Todos los creyentes han sido parte de la
tarea - a ser anunciadores de la buena noticia y embajadores de Cristo Jesús, el único Salvador del mundo. No nos
han dejado solos en esta tarea, por Él Señor resucitado trabaja en y a través de nosotros por el poder de Su Espíritu
Santo. Hoy somos testigos de un nuevo Pentecostés, el Señor derrama Su Espíritu Santo sobre su pueblo para renovar
y fortalecer el Cuerpo de Cristo y para equipar para un ministerio eficaz y la misión de todo el mundo.
Puntos para reflexionar: ¿Crees en el poder del evangelio? ¿Das testimonio de la alegría del evangelio y la
esperanza de la resurrección?
Oración: Señor Jesús, por el don de tu Espíritu Santo, que nos llena de un espíritu indomable de alabanza y
gozo que ningún juicio terrenal puede someter. Llenamé de alegría de Tú resurrección ayúdame a vivir una vida de
alabanza y de acción de gracias para tu gloria. Puedo dar testimonio de los que me rodean la alegría del evangelio y la
realidad de su resurrección. Amen. (www.discerninghearts.com)

almas de tus sacerdotes en el Calvario. Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pecados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacerdotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones:
Jesús de la coseha, mira con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón
semejante al tuyo. María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.
GUARDAR LA FECHA!
2015 Sorteo para la Misión a Ecuador
La hermosa colcha de Jesús en el jardín fue ganado por Carmen Flores! Los fondos recaudados
son para comprar el material que ayudará a construir una biblioteca en la escuela que el Padre P.
J. Hughes ha ayudado a construir. Habrá más hermosas colchas hechas a mano en otras rifas para
recaudar fondos, así que no pierda la oportunidad de ganarse una de las otras colchas preciosas!
Gracias por apoyar la misión! El viaje a la ciudad de Guayaquil, Ecuador será en agosto, 2015. Si
usted está interesado en formar parte del viaje a Ecuador, hable con Chris Robinson (760-751 8850) o Colleen Murphy (760-855 -2510).
