Reflection - The Ascension of the Lord
‘The Ascension of Christ means our own salvation
as well; where the glorious Head has gone before,
the body is called to follow in hope. Let us therefore
exult, beloved, as is fitting, and let us rejoice
in thanksgiving. For on this day not only have we
been confirmed in our possession of paradise, but
we have even entered heaven in the person of Christ;
through his grace we have regained far more than we
had lost through the devil’s hatred.’
(St Leo the great, Sermon 73:4.)
Deaths
We pray for the recently deceased:
Raymond Wassell, 115 Riverside;
Celine Conway, Ballycassidy;
Anne Blake, Church Street and Omagh;
Orla Bogue, Largy, Garvary;
Betty McTaggart, Inis Fold and Millcroft.
We pray also for the parents and families of baby
Caitlin Mary Farry, Laurelvale Court. May
they rest in peace.
