Mass: St Alphonsus Feast Day
Tuesday, Aug 1st at 7 pm at St. Alphonsus Church

There will be a mass to celebrate St Alphonsus on Tuesday, Aug 1st at 7 pm. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to bless our community and St Clare.

Most Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, behold me prostrate before you.
Most profoundly do I adore you, most thankfully bless you.
With the countless Seraphim who stand before your throne,
I, too, cry out, "Holy, Holy, Holy." I firmly believe that you are God, one with the Father and the Son.
I hope that in your goodness you will sanctify and save my soul.
I love you, divine Love, with all my heart and above all that this world holds—because you alone, Infinite Goodness, are worthy of all love.
In my blindness and ingratitude, I have often offended you by my sins.
I ask your forgiveness.
I offer you this heart of mine—cold and dark:
I pray you, shed your light upon it; warm it with the fire of your love.

— St. Alphonsus Liguori (adapted)

Friends, today’s Gospel (Mark 16:15–20) gives us Mark’s very laconic account of the Ascension: “Then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.”

Now, don’t literalize this language—there aren’t chairs in heaven—but take it very seriously indeed. What Mark is suggesting is that Jesus is now reigning; he’s in the attitude of a king on his throne. This means that he is directing the things of earth from his place in heaven. Again, don’t think of this spatially, as though heaven were a long way away. Think of heaven as a dimension that overlaps with earth, that impinges on earth.

And this is why the Ascension forces us to come to grips with a key question: Whom do we finally obey? Whom do we finally serve? Who, finally, is the king of our life? We legitimately obey all sorts of figures—political, cultural, artistic, etc.—but there is always an ultimate king, someone (or something) from which we take our definitive marching orders.
