The Ascension of the Lord

It may seem strange to us, but if you notice, the gospel lesson doesn't say anything about the ascension of Jesus and in fact, when you look at the other gospels, Mark's gospel has no account of the ascension and John's gospel doesn't mention anything about an ascension of Jesus 40 days after Easter. In fact, in John's gospel, it's on Easter Sunday night that Jesus comes back to the disciples and during that visit, he breaths on them and fills them with the Holy Spirit, as we will celebrate next Sunday on the feast of Pentecost. Everything is combined into the one experience of those disciples.

On the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Catholic Worker Movement (May 1), Tom Fox spoke with Catholic Worker veteran Louis Rodemann of Holy Family House in Kansas City, Mo. Rodemann tells Fox: “The Catholic Worker is such a nitty-gritty, down to earth expression of Christian Catholic life that -- I say this not out of arrogance, but out of pride -- I think this is what Jesus had in mind.â€
Bishop Gumbleton (where is he?)
Submitted by KMO on May 8, 2008 - 7:22pm. --- Everything under the sun ...I was wondering if anyone knew where Bishop Gumbleton is for the most part. I believe that he is no longer formally a part of St. Leo's, but is he still celebrating masses there? I know I often see from his columns that he is often at other parishes in the Detroit area and traveling but for the most part from where does NCR obtain his homilies? Thanks in advance. KMO AOD, MI
