When Jesus ascended into heaven before the
eyes of his disciples to take his place as
Lord at the right hand of God the Father
an angel visited them and asked them: "Men
of Israel - why do you stand looking up
toward heaven?
This Jesus, who has been taken up from you
into heaven, will come in the same manner
as you saw him go into heaven."
An ancient legend tells of the return of
Jesus to glory after his time on earth.
Even in heaven he bore the marks of his
earthly pilgrimage with its cruel cross
and shameful death. The angel Gabriel
approached him and said, "Master, you
suffered terribly down there. Do they know
and appreciate how much you loved them and
what you did for them Jesus replied, "Oh,
no! Not yet. Right now only a handful of
people in Palestine know."
But Gabriel was perplexed. He asked, "Then
how will people learn of what have you
done and your love for them?"
Jesus said, "I have asked Peter, James,
John, and a few more friends to tell
others about me. Those who are told will
tell others in turn. And my story will be
spread to the farthest reaches of the
globe. Ultimately, all of humankind will
have heard."
Gabriel frowned and looked rather
skeptical. He knew what poor stuff humans
were made of. He said, "Yes, but what if
Peter and James and John grow weary? What
if the people who come after them forget?
What if they just fail to tell?
What is your alternate plan?"
Jesus answered, "There is no other
plan."
It’s kind of scary to be given such
responsibility. But we have to remember we
are not left to our own devices we have
the Holy Spirit to help us.

Stress in
your Marriage?
Retrouvaille is a program for married
couples that feel bored, disillusioned,
frustrated, or angry at their marriage.
Some experience coldness. Others
experience conflict in their relationship.
Most don’t know how to change the
situation or even communicate with their
spouse about it. This program has helped
tens of thousands of couples experiencing
difficulties in their marriage. For
confidential information about, or to
register for the June program beginning
with a weekend on June 1 –3 call

Please pray for the repose of the soul of
Sister Alice Bookle, who died May 2nd.
