From Deacon Ron Reno:
Thank God for another wonderful spring day. After the long winter we endured, we are ready for this. We had a wonderful Rogation service with wonderful music. It was a blessing to have Nick sing the Litany, the choir and our people for the chanted responses. That was a very appropriate way start out that service. We are blessed to have our services at the Our Lady of Mercy Chapel on the campus of the the College of Saint Mary. This Saturday is the graduation ceremony for the college and our service will be moved to 11:00 am on Sunday. We need to give thanks to Lynda and CSM for working with us for our time of worship.
The Ascension of Christ is this Thursday May 18th. The Ascension of Christ led to the new evangelization given to our Apostles. This evangelization has led people to know Jesus all over this world. It has led to great churches to be built and mission churches to be started. We are one of those mission churches and our job is to preach His Gospel. This is the Great Commission that God gave us to do after Christ’s Ascension. The Ascension is about Jesus’ triumph and to get our attention off ourselves and allow the Holy Ghost to enter our souls to do this commission. God bless, Deacon
