A Note from Fr. Ray

Practicing Spiritual Communion

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have not been

able to gather as a parish around the Lord’s Altar and

receive Holy Communion since the middle of

March. In light of this, I once again write about

practicing Spiritual Communion. “Spiritual

Communion” is an act to which the saints have given

a consistent witness.

Spiritual Communion is a traditional practice of

expressing to the Lord our longing for Him and our

desire for him to enter our hearts.

St. Teresa of Avila (1515 – 82) said “when you do

not receive Communion and you do not attend

Mass, you can make a Spiritual Communion, which

is a most beneficial practice by it the love of God will

be greatly impressed on you.”

Receiving Holy Communion spiritually or physically

is an act of worship of God. In doing so, we are

called to conform our lives to Christ. By our lives we

can worship and live in communion with Jesus.

May God Bless You,

Fr. Ray

Welcome to Our

Lady of Mercy! We welcome you to enjoy this

online bulletin at a time when we are not able to

worship within the walls of our church. If you are new

to our parish and wish to become a member of OLM, we

invite you to introduce yourself to our pastor, Fr.

Raymond Smialowski when Mass resumes, and to

register. Registration can be completed by stopping by

the parish office, filling out the short form on the front

page of our bulletin, or completing a short registration

form which can be found on our home page at

www.olmct.org under the heading “New to Our

Parish?” Please return the form to the office by

dropping it off at the Parish Office, the collection basket,

or mailing it to 19 S. Canal St., Plainville.

No Public Eucharist? Christ’s Presence Is in the

Bible! Don’t let COVID-19 keep you from nurturing your

faith in our Lord Jesus. The Bible offers Christ’s true presence in Sacred Scripture any and every day of

the week! The Hartford Catholic Biblical School (CBS) is enrolling now and plans to offer hybrid

classes (combining virtual and in-person gatherings) in the Fall of 2020. For more information, check out

our web pages and video at https://catholicedaohct.org/prospective-students

All CBS classes will be held virtually using the internet or telephone until it is deemed safe to

gather in person. This may extend to CBS Opening Days and fall classes. We will open up traditional

and hybrid gatherings as soon as the situation allows.

Be a Parish Gardener You are invited to share your gardening talents by

“adopting” a planter or another area on our church

property by planting flowers and maintaining the

planted area that you “adopted” through the spring and

summer. Your talents will be greatly appreciated. It is

also a way to give glory to God. If you are interested,

Mary’s Chapel

There are two new additions

on the side walls of the

chapel of Our Lady of Mercy. The picture of Divine Mercy

has been hung up on one wall. On the opposite wall a copy of the Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is

displayed.

Loved Items from the Fair-Trade Sale CREA, who holds sales of fair-trade items at our parish has heard from

their artists and providers that they are in desperate situations, as

their opportunities for sales has dried up, due to the pandemic. The family of a woman in Guatemala, who makes jewelry, has no means to feed her family. To help support her and others that are assisted through CREA, please

contact Sr. Ruth at [email protected]. Your donation can save lives and give hope. As well, CREA has fair trade

chocolate, coffee, and olive oil in stock, ready for purchase.

St. Joseph Cemetery News We recently posted a notice in our parish cemetery

announcing that over grown shrubs will be removed by cemetery personel beginning June 1, 2020. An

overgrown bush is one that has grown higher than the monument that marks the graves of loved ones. If you would like to retain the bushes that may be present on the burial site of loved ones, please trim them so that

they are no higher than the accompanying monument. Please understand that there is a great need to maintain

our parish cemetery well.

In addition, glass vases, containers, wire fencing around monuments are not allowed in our cemetery. Such glass

objects and fencing are a potential danger to our personel, particularly when the lawn is being mowed.

Wire fencing can get caught in lawn mowing machinery

and cause mishaps and injuries.

We respectfully ask that you remove all of these items before June 1, 2020. After that date the cemetery staff

will be removing these items from the grave plots in the cemetery. We ask that you ONLY plant flowers 8”

from the base of the monument. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Your Generosity is Overwhelming! We can’t thank you enough! Your donations are

enabling us to reach out to parishioners via Social Media, this Bulletin and Phone Calls. Did you get your phone call yet? If not, maybe we do not have

your correct phone number. Please call the office at 860.747.6825 to update your new phone number and/or your email address. Thank You again for

your unselfishness and fortitude in giving.

Need Some Inspiration? Head on over to the Holy Family Website at

https://www.holyfamilyretreat.org/homily-video-library and soak in the LOVE that they have to offer. If you are feeling like you have to get out of the house, you are more than

welcome to walk on their trails which spread out over 48 wooded acres, walk and pray the labyrinth, or pray the outdoor stations of the

cross. They will keep you up-to-date with news, events and opportunities available to nurture your faith as a follower on Facebook or Twitter. They look forward to supporting

your spiritual journey and seeing you on campus at one of their upcoming programs or

retreats.

Food Pantry Collection We are still collecting for the Plainville Food Pantry if you feel you want to give back to the community and God in some way. We invite you to leave nonperishable items in the Gathering Space any time during the week. Dale checks every other day to see if items have been donated.

He is able to bring it directly to the Pantry. For the month of May, 30 pounds were donated. Remember personal care items along with cleaning supplies are

always needed also.

Five Reasons Catholics Honor Mary in May By MARGE FENELON.

It has been a long-standing Catholic tradition to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in May. In most Catholic

churches (and even in many Catholic homes), a “May Altar” is erected with a statue or picture of Mary,

flowers, and perhaps candles. The altar stands from May 1 to 31 as a reminder of Mary’s importance in the life of

the Church and in our own lives as well. Additionally, many Catholic churches and families hold a “May Crowning,” presenting Mary with a crown made

of blossoms or other hand-crafted materials to signify her queenship as the mother of Christ, the King. I’ve even

Page 5: John Patrick Publishing · 5/17/2020  · join us. Please plan to stay in your cars or near your cars in the parking lot during the crowning. The crowning will include singing some

seen some crowns made of glistening metal and synthetic jewels.

Why May? It was during the Middle Ages (11th century) that the

idea of giving the month of May to Mary began with an old tradition, the “30-Day Devotion to Mary”, which was originally held August 15 to September 14. During the month, special devotions to Mary were organized, and this custom, which began in Italy eventually spread

elsewhere. Catholics do not worship Mary, we honor, or venerate, her as Jesus’ mother – we have adapted the early Greek and Roman customs of honoring important women in their religions by honoring the most important woman in our religion: Mary. Fine. That is why Catholics in general honor Mary during May. Here are five reasons why it makes sense to honor her this month. 1. Mary is Jesus’ mother. She is the instrument of the Incarnation and her yes, or fiat, made it possible for our Lord to become the God-Man who was Crucified for our salvation. 2. She is the first and most perfect disciple. Mary was the first to hear the Good News, and the first to follow Christ. Her entire life was devoted to him and assisting him, in whatever way she could, to carry on his mission. Unaffected by Original Sin, she was able to perfectly open herself to God’s will. 3. She is our mom. No, really. She is. To put it simply, she’s our mother because we are all members of the Body of Christ. Since she gave birth to that Body, then she’s our mother, too. At the moment she gave her fiat, she became our mother in the order of grace. She may not have given birth to us physically, but she certainly has given birth to us spiritually. 4. She loves you more than you can ever imagine. If she did not, would she have endured the horror of seeing her Son tortured, scourged, crowned with thorns, carry the Cross to Calvary, and die a gruesome death on it? She did it for you, for all of us, because she understood that Jesus’ Passion and Crucifixion was the only way to your (our) salvation. She loves you like no human mother ever could. 5. Mary is advocate, helper, benefactress and mediatrix. Her job, so to speak, began at the moment she conceived Jesus in her womb and continues until this day. What is more, it will continue for all eternity. As the first and

most perfect disciple, she is devoted to accompanying him and continuing her saving office by interceding for us so

that we may receive the gifts of eternal salvation. She is at work 24/7/365/forever, for whatever we need, whenever

we need it. For all these reasons and more, Mary deserves honor, not

only during the month of May, but always.

HOW TO INTERPRET THE MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP ICON.

Our Mother of Perpetual Help is a Byzantine icon that is believed to have its origin sometime during the 13th -15th century. The icon is known for being miraculous; over the centuries countless healings and special graces

have been attributed to it, so much so that the image has been honored and venerated by many Popes.

The miraculous icon is painted on wood and measures

about 20″ in height (54 x 41.5 centimeters) and depicts

the Virgin Mary, under the title “Mother of God,” holding the Child Jesus.

MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP ICON: HOW TO INTERPRET

1: Greek Characters: Largest and near the top of the

icon, we see the Greek letters ΜΡ θΥ = Mother of God; over the angel on the right is inscribed - O AP M = the Archangel Michael; over the angel on the left is O AP I

O = the Archangel Gabriel

2: Mary’s Star: Reminds us she is the dawn announcing the coming of Jesus. It symbolizes the role of Mary in

the mystery of Christ and the Church. The star indicates that she is the one who will lead us to Christ.

3: Mary’s Eyes: Mary’s eyes are filled with compassion and love, are fixed on us, her children on earth. She is our source of constant comfort and hope. Her eyes draw

all who look into her face toward the mystery of Redemption which she holds in her arms.

4: Archangel Michael: He is holding a lance, a pole with a sponge, and a vessel of vinegar. These prefigure scenes from Jesus’ crucifixion. The Archangel’s veiled

hands inculcate reverence for holy things.

5: Archangel Gabriel: Gabriel is holding a cross and nails, the very instruments of the coming death that has driven the boy Jesus to His mother’s safe embrace. His

veiled hands inculcate reverence for holy things.

6: Mary’s Cloak: The colors of Mary’s cloak symbolize both her virginity (red) and motherhood (blue). These

are also the colors of royalty.

7: Mary’s Hands & Arms: Mary’s hands and arms hold Jesus in a manner that indicates she is presenting Him to us. Her flat pointing right hand points directly into the

heart of the Christ Child, up to the Cross the angel is holding. Her left-hand position, along with the view of the right hand, is one of presenting the Child to those

who stand before the icon as she says: “Receive the Word of God.”

8: The Face of Jesus: The Christ Child looks out beyond the instruments of His passion to our future redemption.

While Jesus’ body is that of a child, His face is more mature, symbolizing wisdom beyond His years.

9. Jesus’ Hands: The joining of his hands with his mother’s signify the perfect conformity of Mary’s will

with Her Son’s, and that together with Him, she participated in the work of the Redemption.

10: Jesus’ Clothes: His green tunic symbolizes His humanity and creation. The red sash around His waist symbolizes the Blood of Christ shed for our salvation.

The gold cloak is symbolic of the Resurrection. Together, the colors of the garments are a statement of the Incarnation, Passion, Death and Resurrection of

Christ.

11. Mary’s Face & Mouth: The smallness of her mouth teaches us to be silent before the presence of God.

12. Jesus’ Feet & Sandals: The falling sandal informs us that He became human like us in all things but sin.

Showing his heel is from the promise of God in the book of Genesis 3:15: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall

bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

13. The Gold Background: The gold background represents heaven and the divine light of the

Resurrection shining through the garments of Jesus and

Mary entering into the one praying before the image. The original picture is painted on wood, in colors of the

composition designated by artists as tempera. SOURCE: http://maryprayforus.org/icon-guide/

THE ASCENSION OF JESUS CHRIST

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;

and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the

earth." And when he had said this, as they were looking on,

he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went,

behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into

heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into

heaven." Acts of the Apostles 1:8-11

The Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ is described in the above passage from the Acts of the Apostles, and is

also noted in Mark 16:19 and Luke 24:50-53. Jesus refers to his Ascension in the Gospel of John when he tells

Mary Magdalene, "Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father, but go to my brothers and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father,

to my God and your God" (John 20:17). Before his Ascension, Christ spent forty days teaching the Apostles and disciples about the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). The

Lord informed them that they would receive power from the Holy Spirit to be his witnesses to the ends of the

earth (Acts 1:8). The Ascension occurred at Bethany on the Mount of Olives (Luke 19:29). Christ's work of

redemption has become known as the Paschal Mystery of Christ and was accomplished principally by his Passion,

death, Resurrection, and Glorious Ascension into Heaven. The Paschal Mystery of Christ constitutes one

action for the salvation of mankind, for Jesus “was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for

our justification” (Romans 4:25).

Jesus Christ made multiple appearances in several locations to his disciples for forty days following

his Resurrection. For example, Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene in Jerusalem (Matthew 28:9-10, Mark

16:9, John 20:14-17), to two disciples on the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-32), to Simon Peter (Luke 24:34,

First Corinthians 15:5), to his disciples in the evening of that first day (John 20:19), and a week later to Thomas and the disciples (John 20:26). He appeared to James

(First Corinthians 15:7), and to Peter and the Apostles in Galilee (Matthew 28:16-20, John 21:1).

At the same time, Christ Jesus appeared to his disciples

even after his Ascension into Heaven. Stephen saw Jesus

"standing at the right hand of God" prior to his martyrdom (Acts 7:55). Saul experienced Conversion on the road to Damascus when he was blinded by a bright light and told "I am Jesus whom you are persecuting" (Acts 9:3-5). The Lord Jesus appeared to Ananias in Damascus, instructing him to baptize Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9:10-19). The "Spirit of Jesus" redirected Paul, Silas, Timothy, and Luke on the second missionary

journey towards Troas, where they boarded a ship for Macedonia, the first recorded introduction of

Christianity into Europe (Acts 16:7-10). The Lord reassured Paul to stay in Corinth after he had baptized

Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue (Acts 18:9). Jesus actually appeared to Paul in the Temple of Jerusalem (Acts 22:17-18)! The Lord stood by Paul in Jerusalem

and advised him that he was to "bear witness" to Him in Rome (Acts 23:11). His final appearance in Scripture was

to John on the island of Patmos in the Book of Revelation (1:10-1:20).

His glorious Ascension signified the completion of his time on earth, which is celebrated by the Church forty

days after the Resurrection and ten days before the Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus

Christ gave us hope by promising that "when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also" (John

14:3).
