June 2, 2019 Seventh Sunday of Easter THE LORD’S PRAYERS Jesus of Nazareth is unique in human history. Unlike anyone else, he is fully human and fully divine. As our reading from John’s Gospel emphasizes over and over again, Jesus and the Fa-ther “are one.” Jesus is human, and Jesus is God. Because of that mystery, we might think that Jesus would be the only human being in the universe who could truly get by on his own in dai-ly life, without recourse to prayer or formal religious practices. Jesus shows us differently: “Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed” (John 17:20). Throughout the Gospels, Jesus prays alone, in community, in silence, and in song. He prays before meals, after a busy day, be-fore he suffers, and after a friend dies. He prays according to the practices of the Temple, and he prays spontaneously from his heart. He prays for himself and others. Jesus prays constantly. If the Son of God prays like this, we too should pray with all our strength. Today’s Readings: Acts 7:55–60; Ps 97:1–2, 6–7, 9; Rev 22:12–14, 16–17, 20; Jn 17:20–26 Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

Healing Mass
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The paschal candle, blessed at the Easter Vigil, carried in procession into the darkened church, and aflame with the light of Christ to be passed hand to hand to renew our baptism, burns for the fifty days of Easter whenever we gather as Christ’s risen body. In the last fifty years, we have grown to see this candle as the sign of Christ’s enduring presence with us. Before then, it was often seen more as a kind of signpost pointing backwards to events in Christ’s life. Therefore, in some places, on the fortieth day after Easter, in order to portray the disappearance of Jesus at the Ascension, the candle was hidden. Now we see the paschal candle as a sign of the great baptismal season of grace and it remains in a prominent place throughout the entire fifty days. We do know of some churches that did not hide the candle after the Ascension. In England before the Reformation, the candle was left in place for fifty days, since on Pentecost Eve there was a vigil, and the candle was used to consecrate the waters of the font. In Salisbury cathedral, the candle was thirty‑six feet high, and in Westminster Abbey weighed over three hundred pounds. On Pentecost, the candles were melted to make tapers for the funerals of the poor. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
WINGED FAITH Faith furnishes prayer with wings, without which it cannot soar into Heaven. —St. John Climacus A GARDENER’S CREED
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth. —Anonymous
