“ANDATE E FATE DISCEPOLI TUTTI I POPOLI”
ASCENSIONE DEL SIGNORE
LA colletta della Liturgia odierna ci aiuta a comprendere il significato profondo del mistero che celebriamo. (Cfr. “In Cristo
asceso al cielo la nostra umanità è innalzata accanto al Padre e noi viviamo nella speranza di raggiungere Cristo il nostro
capo nella Gloria”. La prima lettura, insieme al Vangelo, ci racconta l’evento storico in tutta la sua dinamicità. L’ascensione
avviene 40 giorni dopo la Pasqua, un periodo simbolico per i credenti, perché evoca i 40 anni nel deserto. È il passaggio
della Chiesa dalla presenza di Cristo nella carne, a quella sacramentale: ciò esige fede e perseveranza.
Nella seconda lettura, Paolo invoca per i credenti uno spirito di sapienza per conoscere il mistero di Cristo, e l’illuminazione
della grazia per comprendere la speranza alla quale siamo chiamati. Egli parla del mistero pasquale e lo contempla nella sua
piena realizzazione: Cristo morto e risorto ora siede glorioso alla destra del Padre, cioè nel posto che ne decreta il più alto
grado di onore. A Cristo è sottomessa ogni creatura, ogni potenza, ogni spirito celeste: egli è il vincitore. E noi, suo corpo,
partecipiamo a questa vittoria. Questa è la nostra sicura e vera speranza. Elide Siviero
ASCENSION OF THE LORD
FOR MANY, the admonition “Go fly a kite” could be a put-down. But those who know me know I would gratefully go and
joyfully fly a kite! The freedom of the wind in its tails, the connection of the string pulling on the spindle and the joy of the
community of all ages and stages gathering to watch and smile…there are few joys greater. It brings a smile to my face just
picturing it.
So I put myself into the readings for today. Why do I stand here, looking up at the sky? As Jesus was blessing the disciples
(me) he left them (me) and was taken up into heaven. Before their very eyes, he was taken and a cloud hid him from their
sight.
Maybe it is Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit. Or could it be the community waiting together for the fullness of the time
promised by Jesus. Maybe it’s the freedom of the wind in my tails. All I know is I keep waiting, I keep coming back and, yes,
I do clap my hands and shout our cries of joy… “Our God is an awesome God!”
I haven’t flown a kite in years. I have several in the garage and I even take them in the car periodically, but they never
seem to make it out of their packaging. Maybe this year, this Sunday, this Feast of the Ascension, I’ll go fly a kite, joyfully!.

AVVISO SPECIALE
SPECIAL
ANNOUNCEMENT
Avremo l’Adorazione
Eucaristica
ogni venerdì dalle 6.00 alle 7.00 pm
durante l’Anno della Misericordia.
We will have Eucharistic Adoration in the
Parish every Friday 6:00 – 7:00
p.m. throughout the Jubilee Year of
Mercy
which
opened
from
December 8, 2015 and will close on
November 20, 2016.
REFLECTIONS for the Year of Mercy –
May 8, 2016 – The Ascension of the Lord
As the liturgical year—and this
Jubilee Year of Mercy—unfold, we
reflect on what Jesus’ ascension
meant for the first disciples and
means now for us. Stay in
Jerusalem, Jesus had instructed,
awaiting “the promise of the
Father. In a few days you will be baptized with
the Holy Spirit. You will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and
to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:4–5, 8).
Despite Jesus’ absence, they wait “with great
joy . . . continually in the temple praising God”
(Luke 24:52–53). But as we join them, waiting
and worshiping, the enduring challenge—theirs
and ours—is delivered by “two men in white”
(Acts 1:10). In every age, disciples must stop
looking at the sky, head down the mountain,
and go back into the world, “commissioned,”
says Pope Francis, “to announce the mercy of
God, the beating heart of the Gospel,” inviting
everyone to find “in our parishes, communities,
associations and movements . . . wherever
there are Christians . . . an oasis of mercy”
(Misericordiae Vultus, 12).

UPCOMING PARISH EVENTS
Year of Mercy Talk No. 3
By Archbishop Richard Smith
Come and spend an evening with
Archbishop Richard Smith on May 31, 2016
(Tuesday) at the church, and listen to him
speak on the Year of Mercy.
Mass will be at 6:30 p.m. then starting at
7:00 he will lead us in our study and
reflection. Everyone is invited.
This is the third part of the continuing
special reflections and studies about the Year
of Mercy that we started last January 21. Fr.
Stefano Penna was our resource speaker in
the previous two sessions. Join us as we
reflect together with the Archbishop on
God’s mercy and how we are called to live it
out through the corporal and spiritual works
of mercy. What better way to fully
experience and live out the Extraordinary
Jubilee Year of Mercy than by taking part in
this adult faith formation series? So let us all
come and participate in this very important
activity of our Parish. Coffee will follow at
the Hall.
Also, as we know, the Archbishop has
recently concluded the series of five (5)
sessions of “Every Life Matters” held in
different parishes of the archdiocese. We
look forward to Archbishop Smith sharing
with us his insights and thoughts on what
had happened during these sessions and their
profound significance and impact on our
lives primarily as Catholic faithful.

Happy Mother's Day to all our beautiful mothers
in our community! You keep us men and boys in
line with your rules (made with love, of course!).
We love you!
SMG COMMUNITY CENTRE NEWS
A Very Happy Mother's Day! Did you know that
early Christians celebrated Mother's Day? It was
during a festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent in
honour of the Virgin Mary. It eventually expanded
to include all mothers. Frankly, every day should be
Mother's Day! Recognition for all mothers and
what they mean to our family and our community
needs to be proudly acknowledged. It can be a most
thankless role, but so crucial in the strength of the
family. It is our mothers that guide us to empathy
and sympathy. They help in the stability of family
and to make things "ok". And, who's usually the
best at making tomato sauce and polpette? Here's to
all moms, those still with us and those now with Our
Lord, thank you for your love and sacrifice!
A reminder that your Centre is having a "Notte di
Pesce" or Fish Night! on May 13. Our menu:
Calamari Fritti, Baccala alla Pizzaiola, Polenta,
The Board of Directors of our Santa Maria Goretti
Community Centre (SMGCC) is holding its Annual
General Meeting on May 29 at 3:00 p.m. at the
Center Hall (Basement) of the Center.
ARCHBISHOP APPEALS FOR HELP
FOR Ft McMURRAY WILDFIRE
VICTIMS
May 13-14 Second Collection –
All Parishes
Archbishop
Richard
Smith
is
asking
parishioners to contribute to special second
collections at Masses this weekend and on the
weekend of May 13-14. Proceeds will be
forwarded to the Diocese of St. Paul, where they
will be shared equally between the Fort
McMurray parishioners and the Fort McMurray
Ministerial Association to be distributed to any
local residents in need.
The Archbishop is also encouraging all
parishioners in the archdiocese of Edmonton to
consider making direct donations to relief for
fire victims through the Red Cross. These
donations will be particularly impactful, since
they will be matched by both the Alberta and the
federal governments.
Above all, the Archbishop
is inviting
parishioners to join him in offering urgent
prayers for the needs of all those affected by the
wildfire disaster: those who have been displaced
from their homes, the first responders and
volunteers who are serving them, and all those
working so hard to bring the situation under
control.
In our Parish, we will have our 2nd Collection
for this purpose during the May 14-15 weekend
Masses.
Invitiamo tutti parrocchiani di pregare e
aiutare le persone dal Fort McMurray in
modo tutto possibile. Grazie per la vostra
generosita'. Nella nostra parrocchia noi
avremmo una seconda colletta per Fort
McMurray Domenica prossima. Grazie.
