Just outside of Jerusalem, in the Chapel of the Ascension, there is a footprint of a right foot in the rock, as if Jesus had used it as a launching pad. The images in today’s readings of Jesus going up in the clouds and taking his seat on the heavenly throne at the right hand of God seem to give legitimacy to this idea. We might conclude that having completed his work on earth, Jesus is going home to the Father.

Dominican Fr. Timothy Radcliffe reminds us “Jesus could not make a journey back to God, as if the Father lived on some fluffy cloud in the sky. Perhaps it would be better to think of the disappearance of Jesus as part of our homecoming. Jesus says in John's Gospel: 'When I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.' The disciples had been at home with Jesus. They had shared his company, eaten and drunk with him, walked with him to Jerusalem, and witnessed his death and Resurrection. He had been their companion, the center of the community. But Jesus must disappear if they are to be not just with him, but at home in him.

With the Ascension and Pentecost, Jesus is transformed from being someone with whom the disciples are at home. Instead he becomes their home. They used to be with his body. Now they are becoming his body, as we are the Body of Christ. They have to lose him, paradoxically, if they are to discover this new intimacy. It is the opposite of our own birth. When we are born, we lose the warm cozy home of the womb so as to be at home with our mother. We lose the intimacy of being in our mother's body so as to be able to see her face to face. The joy and the pain of birth is that we lose one form of intimacy, snuggling up inside our mother, being one body with her, so as to gain another and deeper intimacy, which is seeing her face, being with her, and eventually being able to talk to her.

 

With our Christian rebirth, it isthe other way around. The disciples lose Jesus as the one whose face they can see so as to find him as the one in whom they can be at home. The whole long history of salvation has been of God's slow disappearance. At the beginning, God walks in 'the cool of the day' in the garden, just like one of us after a hard day at work. But God comes to Abraham and Sarah in fire and smoke in the night, and then as three mysterious strangers needing food. He wrestles with Jacob. Buy the time we get to Moses, we have only a voice from a burning bush, and unbearable visions on the mountain. Then with the establishment of the Kingdom of David, God is seen no more. He speaks through the voices of the prophets. Finally he appears in an ordinary man who dies on a cross and shouts out, 'O God, my God, why have you abandoned me?' Today he disappears altogether. So God is like the Cheshire Cat, slowly disappearing from our sight. But this is so that we may become more intimate.

We lose God as over against us, a powerful stranger, the Big Guy who runs the Universe, so that we can discover him at the very heart of our existence. St Augustine famously said that God is closer to us than we are to ourselves. 'Late have I loved, O beauty so ancient and so new. For behold you were within me and I was outside; and I sought you outside. You were with me and I was not with you.' As Thomas Merton, the Cistercian said, we loose him as an object so as to find him as a subject, the core of our own subjectivity. We do not look at God so much as with God.

It is all part of our coming home to God, or God's making his home in us. So the Church should be a sign of our home in God. But let's be honest. It does not always feel like home. Lots of people do not feel at ease in the Church. This may be because we feel that God does not want us here. If that is the case, then we are living with some image of God that needs to disappear.

 
 

We must let these images of God fade away so that we can discover the God who delights in our very existence, and dwells at the core of our being. The apostles who witnessed the disappearing of Jesus still clung on to images of God that took time to go. It took them time to realize that the God who only wanted to have Jews in his community was gone and that we Gentiles also are at home. We are all learning. The chapel of the Ascension is both a Church and also a mosque, a shared holy place for Christians and Muslims. It is a sign of God's unimaginably spacious home. (Timothy Radcliffe OP)

THANKS and KUDOS

Our school year Faith Formation program has concluded for this year, and it’s easy to lose sight of the people who served all year as catechists and facilitators in those programs. So, just a moment of “heartfelt thanks” –

To the teachers and aides in our Sunday childcare, preschool and kindergarten sessions: Your loving care models Jesus as a Good Shepherd, tenderly caring for the little sheep. Heartfelt thanks to you!

To our catechists in the elementary program: Sunday afternoons, your family schedule was interrupted to share God’s Word and the traditions of our faith in less than ideal settings. How grateful we are…you modeled Christian life to the children of our parish.

To those who share Liturgy of the Word with our children during Mass: you helped open the hearts of the children to God’s message for them… heartfelt thanks to you!

To those brave and energetic souls who challenged our middle school youth to take God’s Word seriously and live it in their lives. We honor you and thank you!

To those who helped in any way with the young people preparing to celebrate Confirmation…the older teen facilitators, the adult interviewers, those who facilitated the retreat: The Spirit of Jesus flowed through you and we are grateful!

To the myriad of people who work with our teens, especially as they walk the road of service and justice: the time and love you so graciously give to these young people is a blessing to us all.

And finally, a special thanks to the staff of the Office of Family Ministry… thanks for the diligence with which they guide all these people, for the blessing they are to so many, for their own rich faith lives. They serve our parish with care, compassion and passion…and we are all so grateful.

St. Paul probably says it best: “We never think of you without thanking our God.”

   
 Old Fashioned Prayer—The Rosary?

Do you know that the Rosary is a wonderful way to meditate on the life of Jesus? Does your family know anything about praying the Rosary? Because May is often associated in our Catholic life with Mary and the Rosary, we would like to invite parishioners to learn more about the Rosary and why so many use this prayer form to meditate on the Scriptures. There is a wonderful article published by Catholic Update on the history and prayer form: (http:// www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/CU/ac0803.asp) Take a moment to stretch your prayer life.

  
Lectio at Lunchtime

Lectio Divina means “sacred reading” and is a particular model for praying the Scriptures. I would like to start a lectio group at the parish. If you might be interested in learning this process, please join us for “Lunch and Lectio” on Thursday, May 24th at 12:15. (If you are interested in “lectio divina” but are not available on this particular day, please let me know...I'd rather pick a different day and have someone take advantage of this opportunity than cancel it due to lack of interest.) Bring a brown bag lunch...and we will meet in the parish library for 15-20 minutes of prayer followed by lunch and reflective sharing. (I am hoping this might work for men and women who work nearby and can take an hour for lunch...could be a wonderful addition to your work week. Call Nancy for more information and details.

 
Small Group Interest?

Several weeks ago, I invited you to think about small groups that might be of some interest. One family responded that perhaps families with special needs children might enjoy some fellowship and support. So, let's do it! Call or email Nancy (248 391 4074 or ctrdirector@ameritech.net) if you might be interested in joining with other families to have fun together, pray together, share life together. This is what parish is about.
 
 
 
 

Save The Date- Get Read,
Get Set

On Sunday, June 24, the Social Justice Committee hopes to partner with the Activities Commission to sponsor a “green” Ice Cream Social. Details are still on the table, but we hope it to be a fun way to learn more about the environment and our call to care for the earth. Watch this space for details.

We are always looking for individuals or families who might be interested in putting some creative energy into this project. Have you ever made a ‘green smoothie’ or used recycled materials for new purposes? Have you watched a video that inspired you to be more environmentally aware? What have you learned that you’d like to share with others related to earth stewardship? What would you like to explore together? We invite your participation in creating a selection of opportunities for us to choose from during our upcoming ice cream social. Mark your calendar now for Sunday, June 24 after the 11:00 Mass. But call right away (Dianne Zande 391 2746 or e-mail dougzande@ yahoo.com) with ideas of interest. Young, old, families and singles, something for everyone who loves ice cream and our ‘Mother Earth’.

Bake Sale to Benefit Motor City Blight Busters

During our Summer Mission work week we use a number of dumpsters in our work with the Blight Busters. Each dumpster costs $500 and we have been known to use up to ten! In order to help offset this cost, the youth will be sponsoring a bake sale the weekend of June 16/17 after each Mass. We are looking for volunteers to donate items for this sale. End of May we will have sign up. If you have any questions, please contact the Youth Ministry office for more information. Thanks for your support!


 Mark 16:15-20

I’m a huge reader. I can pick up abook and become so immersed in the story that I lose all track of time. I really don’t like when I come to the end though, and have to say good-bye to my favorite characters.

Jesus’ disciples spent three years travelling and working with him in his ministry. They rarely spent a day away from his wisdom, compassion, and love. Just imagine what they must have felt like when the day of his Ascension came. “He said to them, ‘Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.’” John 16:15. They were left to fulfill his command and spread the Gospel to all they met. It’s kind of scary to fly solo. To take off on your own and work independently of your teachers, mentors, or parents. Fortunately, they had Jesus’ teachings to follow and each other to rely on. As in all things, God does not leave us alone. He sent the Holy Spirit to guide them as they made their way out into the world. We have the same

 
Spirit to help us stay on the right path and spread the Gospel to those we meet in our world today. We also have our fellow Christians to give us strength, set good examples, and hold us accountable.

Take some time this week to look at the people in your life. Who  do you know that continues to walk with the Spirit and spread the word of God in the way they live their lives. Take some time to thank them for the influence they have had on your life. You might be surprised to know they may sometimes need encouragement too. We must work together to build the community of Christ. Take a good look at  yourself, too, and see if there is anyone you are setting an example for. Are you setting a positive example by staying in scripture and prayer?

Journaling Questions:

How do you spread the message of God’s love each day?

How does it feel to know that Jesus, who sits at God’s right hand, loves you enough to die for you?

 
Graduation Mass and
Dinner

Each year at Christ the Redeemer, we hold a very special Mass for our graduates. In the past, this Mass was followed by a brunch for the graduate and their family. This year, we are switching things up. Rather than Mass and Brunch, we are going to try a Mass and Dinner to be held Saturday, June 2 with Mass at 5:00 and dinner following. We do our best to get letters out to all our graduates, but in the event your student did not receive an invitation, please contact the Youth Ministry office and we will correct our records. Please put this date on your calendars and give us the privilege of celebrating this huge event with you.

   
 
Summer Mission 2012

Each year, teens from grades 9 - 12 spend a week in the Old Redford District of Detroit working with an organization called the Motor City Blight Busters. This is a group that has spent the last 25 years revitalizing the city of Detroit by cleaning up parks, alleys, and emptying lots of illegal dumping, painting murals and teaching art classes, as well as tearing down abandoned buildings to make room for new growth and energy. We have worked with John George and the Blight Busters for 15 years and have a wonderful relationship and sense of ownership in their dream. The week of Monday, July 9 – Friday, July 13 we will participate in helping this dream to grow.

There will be a parent information meeting on Thursday, June 7 and a teen orientation meeting on Tuesday, June 19. We need much adult help to provide the proper support and safe work environment for the teens. If you are going to join us, you must have an adult that can devote some time to the week as well. For more information, please contact the Youth Ministry Office at ctryouth@ameritech.net or call (248) 391- 4074 ext. 33.

Ascension of the Lord, Mark 16:15-20

And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.’

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it.

I Was Very Unsure!!!

My life was spiraling downward after my divorce. I felt alone and very afraid of the future and I was worried about my children. I thought I would try having a Stephen Minister but needed more information. I found out that I could set the meetings to fit my schedule, everything is confidential, and visits usually last about one hour weekly. It was the best thing I did for myself during this very stressful time. My Stephen Minister didn’t try to solve my problems, but listened, cared, prayed, and helped me find my way as I was healing from such a big change in my life.

If you are in need of a Stephen Minister or would like more information about becoming a Stephen Minister contact: Judy Bas (248)693-3047 or Jkbas99@yahoo.com
