Friends, we see in our Gospel reading (John 14:21–26) that the Holy Spirit’s principal sign is love. The night before he died, Jesus told his friends the deepest truths. He spoke of himself, his Father, and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the love that connects the Father and the Son. From all eternity, he is breathed back and forth between the Father and the Son, and hence he is nothing but love. When, therefore, he comes to dwell in you and me, he turns us to the path of love. “On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father.”
God has created a dynamic universe, moving restlessly and relentlessly toward a goal, and this goal has been disclosed to us in Christ: the sharing in the love between the Father and the Son. Therefore, if we wish to know the creaturely realm in all of its complexity and multiplicity, in both its coming and going, we must immerse ourselves in the stream of the Spiritus Sanctus.

The Ascension is a joyful icon painted in bright colors and is a Feast celebrated 40 days after Easter and 10 days before Pentecost. It is often linked with the Icon of the Pentecost , as like the Pentecost, it also represents the beginnings of the Church.
The composition of the icon is divided into two parts: the top as the ordered heavens and the bottom the earthly realm with the Apostles in disarray.
Christ is enthroned above within the mandorla (a circle or almond shape) which denotes holiness in iconography. He holds the scripture in one hand and blesses with the other. The icon reminds us that Christ is always with us in his teachings and blessings, regardless of our inability to “see” him.
In the lower area, Mary is the central figure, encompassed by two powerful angels and surrounded by the Apostles. She is the only person with the halo of a saint and maintains an ineffable serenity as she stands in prayer looking out at us. The Apostles are agitated and have not yet understood what is happening.
Mary and the Apostles are depicted in that moment when Christ ascends and disappears from sight. The Church now awaits in hope for the descent of Holy Spirit(Pentecost).
Mary, the Mother of God , is holding all in prayer and through her prayer is a dynamic link between earth and the heavens . She is the model of stability and grace for The Church.
Although the icon depicts the event described by Saint Luke, it is not meant to be a historical picture, but a representation of the Church. The icon includes St. Paul who would not have yet been part of the Apostles but is a crucial part of the Church’s beginnings.
Icons often will contain images from different time frames. It is a spiritual space for reflections on the scriptural mysteries being envisioned and how these dynamics continue within our own life of faith.

What’s in your wallet?
Stored in coin wallets, pockets, purses, jewelry boxes, and glove compartments are many hundreds of little beads. Some are held together by string or wire, others fashioned into metal “decade” rings with laminated instructional cards. No matter what form they take, each reminds us of a special prayer of the Catholic Church, the Rosary. Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort, (whose feast is today) known for his love of the Rosary, always made sure to teach people to pray the Rosary in whatever method best helped them enter into the mysteries of the life of Christ. What’s your unique way of praying the beads?
