May 10, 2018 Feast of the Ascension

                        _____________________Ascension antiphon 

                      on Psalm 8___________________________

     

     

     We 

     see

 Jesus, 

     who

    for a 

     little 

    while 

     was 

  made 

  lower 

   than 

     the 

     angels crowned with glory and honor. 

On the cusp of CS Lewis’s conversion to Christianity, J.R.R. Tolkien is said to have told him, “Your prob-
lem is that your imagination is not strong enough. 
When you are reading fairy tales, you allow your imagin-ation to be swept up and away. But when
you come to the stories of the Gospels, you
become narrow and empirical.

               This is how we learn to trust the light: 

              by moving from our head to our heart.

  ____________Easter antiphon on  the

  Mem Section  of Psalm 119_________

How sweet 

are your 

words to 

my taste! 

They are 

sweeter 

than honey 

to my mouth, 

hallelujah.

                  * Gregory of Nazianzus    

                             circa 330–3 89 

                        Bishop of Constantinople 

                         in present-day Turkey,

                             who wrote in 

                          The Holy  Trinty, 

                         

No sooner do I conceive of the one 

than I am illumined by the splendor 

ofthe three; no sooner do I distinguish 

them than I am carried back to the one…  

When I contemplate the three together, 

I see but one torch, and cannot divide

or measure out the undivided light.”

“Grace is given not

 to them who speak

 [their faith] but to 

those  who live their faith."

Rogation Tuesday* evening

                 ________________________1Timothy 2:1

First of 

all, I 

urge 

that 

supplica-

tions, 

prayers, 

intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone… in high places so that we may 

lead a quiet and peaceful life in all 

godliness and dignity.
