By Cardinal Roger M. Mahony

"It was never the plan of God for the Son of God to remain here. The continuation of the Gospel, the sacraments, baptism, the Eucharist, the body and blood of the Lord, and telling people the good news about Jesus, we are the ones that continue, each one of us, through our baptism; and especially now through our confirmation today, are then the ones who carry on the mission of the Lord Jesus," Cardinal Mahony tells us for our adult confirmation Mass. "So that's where we are all through salvation history until today. And the Holy Spirit has been given age after age after age, especially in the sacrament of confirmation which you are going to receive today. And so, what does the Holy Spirit expect of us? He expects us to love Jesus, to know Jesus, to walk with Jesus everyday, and to live in compassion and mercy toward others just as Jesus did."

Sunday Homilies

By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor

"Is this what we would expect, to see Jesus floating away into the clouds? How weird is this? But I think it's very hard to know, especially when we're given two different stories of the Ascension. Who's right? John, or Luke? How do you decide that? But what if the Ascension was much more mysterious, and the only way to get at it is give it a very physical experience and power," Father Perry tells us for the 27th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast. "What John gives to us as a gift in his presentation of the Ascension — with all the questions, and the doubts, and the fears, and the grief — is part of what I think we're supposed to experience. Maybe to get the whole pictures, we have to feel an absence of Christ, but also feel that  it is totally natural and normal."
