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 />
