BASILICA OF THE ASSUMPTION<br />

From the Desk<br />

of the Rector<br />

Please join me in offering<br />

our mothers’ a Happy<br />

Mother’s Day. Throughout<br />

the month of May, the<br />

Church invites us to honor<br />

Our Blessed Mother. The<br />

beautiful tradition of May<br />

Processions and the May<br />

crowning of Our Lady provide us with the opportunity<br />

to contemplate the role of the Blessed<br />

Mother in salvation history and her continued intercession<br />

for the Church today. Whenever we<br />

honor Holy Mary she leads us to her Son, Christ<br />

the Lord. Whenever we honor our mothers, we<br />

honor and show respect for the gift of life.<br />

Next Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. There is an<br />

insert in this week’s bulletin listing the ministry<br />

opportunities in our parish. I encourage all our<br />

parishioners and potential parishioners to prayerfully<br />

consider how each one of us can commit to<br />

become actively involved in ministry. Having the<br />

received the gifts of the Holy Spirit on the first<br />

Pentecost, the disciples responded by proclaiming<br />

the Gospel, witnessing to the Lord in service and<br />

gathering to worship. We are blessed to worship<br />

in our beautiful and historic Basilica, “America’s<br />

Cathedral.” Having accepted the grace and blessings<br />

of Baptism and Confirmation we need also<br />

embrace the responsibilities to proclaim and to<br />

serve so that our worship is authentic.<br />

Following each Mass on Pentecost Weekend members<br />

of the Basilica staff and volunteers will host<br />

the annual Ministry Fair on the Portico. All parishioners<br />

and potential parishioners are invited to<br />

enjoy time to socialize and learn of the many and<br />

various ministry options available in our parish.<br />

Please plan to join us for the social, to learn about<br />

the possibilities to serve and prayerfully commit to<br />

the mission. I know that the Holy Spirit continues<br />

to empower the Church and calls each of us to<br />

serve. There is a place for you and a need for your<br />

participation at the Basilica parish.<br />

God bless you,<br />

ASCENSION OF THE LORD<br />

MAY <strong>12</strong>TH, <strong>2013</strong><br />

by Jeff Allan<br />

Ascension of the Lord<br />

Second Reading, Ephesians 1:17-23<br />

Saint James elaborates on the fruits of wisdom:<br />

"The wisdom that is from above, first indeed is<br />

chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full<br />

of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation" (James<br />

3:17). Anyone having such qualities surely possesses a most blessed knowledge of<br />

the Lord. The eyes of the heart portion of this Reading points to something similar<br />

to what was covered in the First Reading: exercising the spiritual life and coming<br />

to the knowledge of the glory that awaits us by keeping our gaze fixed on the<br />

prize and being in awe of the greatness of Almighty God. This is a deep absorption<br />

in prayer which many of the saints have attested leads to a wonderful closeness<br />

with our Lord. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that "by<br />

prayer every baptized person works for the coming of the Kingdom" (CCC<br />

2632). This can be a difficult Reading to follow because much is covered in a<br />

lengthy sentence. Think of it as a blessing -- something you would bow your head<br />

to as these words are being prayed over you. It's mind boggling that in this vast<br />

universe each and every one of us is crucial. Jesus in His humility willed that He<br />

would be incomplete without His Mystical Body. Humanity has been raised up<br />

higher than all of God's earthly creation to be participants in Christ's work of redemption.<br />

Poor Box contributions the weekend of May 11 th and <strong>12</strong> th will be donated<br />

to support Our Daily Bread. Initiated at the Basilica and now<br />

sponsored by Catholic Charities, Our Daily Bread feeds the hungry 365<br />

days a year and hosts a very successful employment program.<br />

Thank you for your support.<br />

Please remember the poor and the aged in our community by<br />

making a donation of non-perishable food items and placing them<br />

in the basket at the back of the church. Proceeds are provided to<br />

the Assisi House of Sacred Heart/St. Patrick’s Food Pantry to<br />

serve the needy in the community. The Assisi House Food Pantry sincerely appreciates<br />

the generosity of the Basilica Parish in assisting them in providing food<br />

distributions to those most in need, especially now. ~ Thank You!

Basilica Hopes to Form New<br />

K of C Council<br />

Are you a Catholic man, 18<br />

years or older interested in<br />

deepening your Faith, making our community a<br />

better place, and supporting the Church? Have<br />

you heard of the Knights of Columbus?<br />

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic, family,<br />

fraternal organization founded by Venerable Fr.<br />

Michael McGivney in 1882 to help the men in his<br />

parish grow in the virtues of charity, unity, fraternity,<br />

and patriotism. The Knights have grown<br />

to become the largest Catholic fraternal organization<br />

in the world with more than 1.8 million<br />

members in over <strong>12</strong> countries. During the past<br />

year, Knights of Columbus councils donated<br />

more than $158 million to charity and 70 million<br />

hours of their time to charitable work.<br />

McGivney was ordained at the Baltimore Basilica<br />

in 1887 by then-Archbishop James Gibbons. Furthermore,<br />

Archbishop William Lori serves as the<br />

current Supreme Chaplain for all Knights of Columbus<br />

throughout the world.<br />

Basilica to support our parish community. There<br />

gift of healing, assistance, administration and varieties of tongues.”<br />

and made sharers in her mission.”(<strong>12</strong>13)<br />
