THE ASCENSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ST. NICHOLAS PARISH

From the Pastor’s Desk

Memorial Day Weekend has suddenly arrived! This year

it is earlier than usual which makes it all the harder to believe it is

here. I usually find Memorial Day weekend to be one of the best

weekends of the year. But, with all the rain, the shutdown of many

businesses with this pandemic, Memorial Day has lost some of its

charm. Then again, the meaning of Memorial Day remains

strong. We remember and honor those who have served our great

country.

With this Holiday Weekend, we are also aware of the

Class of 2020. Many of our students are graduating this

week from our elementary, high schools and colleges. With the

cancelation of many of the commencement ceremonies the

acknowledgement of all the hard work and accomplishments are

left unrecognized. Our congratulations go out to all our

graduates. We encourage them with our prayers and best wishes as

they move on to their next step in life, especially during these

particularly difficult times.

Tomorrow, May 25, we will return to having our weekday

masses. I decided to have our morning mass Monday through

Friday at 9:00 a.m. My intention is to make the time available for

those who do not feel comfortable with the possible larger

gathering for Sunday mass. Since the obligation to attend Sunday

mass has been lifted through September 13th, I think this is an

option, especially since there are some who will exempt themselves

from Sunday. Again, we are trying to adjust to our current

situation. We need to exercise flexibility, patience and common

sense.

It is a good thing that we return to weekday masses with

our observance of Memorial Day. In the past we have usually had a

good attendance for mass on our National Holidays. I think this

reflects a good and healthy patriotic consciousness of our

community. So, we pray with thankful hearts for those who have

served our country through their military service. In service to our

country they are in actuality serving all of us. Military service

requires personal sacrifice for the citizens of our country. This

sacrifice is most especially noted by those who have made the

greatest sacrifice on the battlefields throughout the world. Their

courageous sacrifice in battle can never be overshadowed and

forgotten. We owe them our grateful prayers of thanksgiving and

commend their souls to the eternal care of God. We are also

mindful of those who have died after their service and gratefully

returned home and in a special way we recall those veterans who

have died this past year. These brave men and women have

generously served our country upholding those principles and

values that make our country great. Military service is offered for

the sake of the citizens of the United States as well as for all people

and those countries who have called upon our country in their

need.

As a country we enjoy liberty and justice. We are

sensitive to the desire of the human heart for freedom. We

find the oppression of peoples to be unacceptable. As such we are

especially sensitive to all peoples who are unjustly oppressed. We

know this deep down within because only with freedom the human

person flourishes. Our faith tells us that freedom is a divine

gift. God blesses us with freedom so that we may take

responsibility for our lives. Personal responsibility is the mark of

a mature human person. We can freely choose a life of virtue or a

life of vice for which we are responsible. We cannot be forced to

live either. However, we know that a virtuous life is a truly

free life while all vice enslaves. We cherish our freedom to be the

people God has called us to be: virtuous, responsible and

profoundly free.

The real tragic thing about our basic freedom is that some

would rather sacrifice their freedom and the responsibility that goes

with it for a feeling of “security” of being told when and what to

do. This eventually results in nether liberty nor security.

On this Memorial Day we need to pause with thankful

hearts for those who lived, dedicated and made their sacrifice for

us to enjoy this God given gift without fear or coercion. It goes

back to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and both World

Wars. All had to do with unjust aggressors seeking to control the

lives of others. Freedom is a great good and is worth the

sacrifice especially for those who truly desire it. We thank those

who willingly made that sacrifice in their service for our

country. We need to live a life worthy of their sacrifice by living

well the freedoms we enjoy. Freedom is worth the effort and

sacrifice necessary to possess, share and preserve. Freedom is

worth the sacrifice because it is worth living for.

Many people celebrate Memorial Day with the custom of

visiting cemeteries in honor of our deceased relatives and friends

who have served in the military. It is a good and pious practice to

visit the graves of our veterans. A prayer for the repose of their

souls is always a good thing. It is good for us to pray… “Eternal

Life grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon

them. May they rest in peace.” Amen and Thank You.

As we return to weekday mass, I would like to reassure

you that I was able to celebrate mass daily over the last nine weeks

of quarantine. All the scheduled mass intentions were offered. I

have to admit that it is a little different celebrating the Eucharist

alone. However, I did pray for you daily during the mass. Now I

look forward to having parishioners in the pews.

Lastly, today, we are also celebrating the Feast of the

Ascension of the Lord. With this feast we recall and celebrate Jesus

ascending to the right hand of the Father. Jesus Christ returns to

the Father with his resurrected and glorified human body. Jesus

has his resurrected and glorified human body forever. This is in

store for us. Where Jesus has gone, we hope to follow.

This is a very important point to be made: God created us

Body and Soul. Many people have the dualistic view of life

expressed as the Spirit is good and the Body is bad. Part of this

idea comes from the ancient philosophies of individuals like Plato

who considered the body, because of its imperfections, was a

prison for the human spirit. Eternal life happens when the spirit is

released from the prison of the body. A modern manifestation of

this idea is expressed when someone claims to be

a spiritual person. (They do not believe in organized religion or

church.) There is a truth here but not the whole truth. It is true that

we have a spiritual life, but that is not the whole story. We are

called to holiness while we live in the body. Spirituality is a means

to holiness which is expressed through the body. Holiness

transforms both body and soul. There has to be a bodily

manifestation of holiness. This is virtuous living. That is in part

the theology of the incarnation. In reality we are not destined to

live in eternity as spiritual beings. We are not angels, nor are we

intended to be angels. We are human beings, created in the Image

and Likeness of God, with a body and a soul. This is what we are:

beings with a body and a soul. Salvation and eternal life are for

both body and soul. “We believe in the resurrection of the body”

as we say in our creed. The teaching on the Ascension of the Lord

is an affirmation of the Resurrection and the ultimate goodness and

final destination of both the body and the soul: together and

glorified in heaven. Jesus Christ came to save us body and soul. It

is an affirmation of who we are as God’s beloved human beings.

Looking forward to next weekend… and God Bless you.

THE ASCENSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey

as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the

Sick,

who, at the foot of the cross, were united with Jesus’ suffering,

and persevered in your faith. “Protectress of the Roman people”,

you know our needs, and we know that you will provide,

so that, as at Cana in Galilee, joy and celebration may return

after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love,

to conform ourselves to the will of the Father

and to do what Jesus tells us. For he took upon himself our suffering,

and burdened himself with our sorrows

to bring us, through the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.

Amen. We fly to your protection,

O Holy Mother of God; Do not despise our petitions

in our necessities, but deliver us always

from every danger, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.
