This week, oh Jesus, Your church celebrates Your ascension into heaven.
Jesus, You ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father,
and intercede for us, Your children.
Let us see what a tremendous gift that is for us.
Let us feel the power of the intercession and be excited by the graces
that flow to us from Your help.
Jesus, we all need the help that only You can give us.
Give us all the graces we need to be all that You want us to be, and
bring us all safely into eternal life.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday DECISION-MAKING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/9/2010
"It is the decision of the Holy Spirit, and ours too." —Acts 15:28
Two weeks from today, we will celebrate Pentecost. We will receive in
a new way the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, Whom the Father will send in
Jesus' name (Jn 14:26). The Spirit will instruct us in everything and
remind us of all that Jesus told us (Jn 14:26). This instructing and
reminding from the Spirit will have such an effect on our lives that
our decisions will also be the decisions of the Holy Spirit (Acts 15:28).
Therefore, our decisions will be correct, life-changing, life-giving,
miraculously wise, and fruitful for God's kingdom.
Many of us have messed up our lives through bad decisions. Our
marriages, finances, employment, family life, and lifestyle were forged
by a series of bad decisions. The way out of this mess is to make
good decisions by the power of the Spirit. Therefore, we must receive
the Holy Spirit. Our lives, decisions, and futures depend on receiving
the Holy Spirit. We must go into the upper room of prayer,
repentance, and conversion. There we will receive the Spirit. He will
change our lives, hearts, minds, and decisions.

Seek Prophecy
http://presentationministries.com/brochures/SeekProphecy.asp
"Yes, even on My servants and handmaids I will pour out a
portion of My Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy." —Acts 2:18;
Joel 3:1
The Lord commands us to set our "hearts on spiritual gifts —
above all, the gift of prophecy" (1 Cor 14:1). We may or may not
have the gift of prophecy but we are obligated to seek it eagerly.
Prophecy is part of the foundation of the Church (Eph 2:20). He
or she "who prophesies builds up the Church" (1 Cor 14:4). A
prophet speaks to the Church for its upbuilding,
encouragement, and consolation (1 Cor 14:3). Prophecy is one

WORLD YOUTH DAY 2010
"FAITH IN HIS LOVE"
It is faith in His love that, by making you stronger and more generous,
will give you courage to face serenely the path of life and to take on
family and professional responsibilities.
LEARN ABOUT THE SAINTS
In this Year for Priests, I ask you to learn about the lives of the
saints, and in particular of those saints who were priests. You will
see how God was their guide and how they made their way through
each day in faith, in hope and in love.
