MIRA AL CIELO Cuando te sientas aturdido por las
injusticias de este mundo, mira al cielo, busca la mirada de Quien nunca te
abandona y siempre te perdona No existe mejor consuelo, búscalo entre
las estrellas de la noche Y pronto verás amanecer nuevas
esperanza…. Él está velando por ti.
REFLEXION: Esta gran solemnidad nos invita a contemplar el presente y el futuro de nuestra jornada de fe desde nuestro propio contexto. En el presente celebramos la exaltación de Cristo en su victoria sobre el mal y la muerte. Jesús es el Mesías esperado desde antiguo, que no sólo vino a cumplir las promesas señaladas para el pueblo de Israel, sino que envió a sus discípulos a predicar el mensaje del reino a todas las naciones. Este mismo Jesús nos fortalece en nuestra jornada de fe, para que, llenos de esperanza, podamos contemplar, más allá del presente, el horizonte de una nueva vida en la que todos participaremos en las bodas del Cordero. Con esta gran fiesta de la Ascensión, la iglesia nos anticipa el envío del Espíritu Santo, que celebraremos con gran regocijo en la próxima Solemnidad de Pentecostés. Sería recomendable poder reflexionar sobre la confusión que sintieron los discípulos de Cristo al verlo ascender al Padre. La tensión entre el abandono y el encuentro, la falta de su presencia resucitada como lo experimento Tomas y, por la fe, la obediencia a su mandato y sus palabras.

SCRIP COORDINATOR NEEDED! Can you help fill this need?
Due to the nature of the program, staff are not able to
act as coordinators for the program. As a result, we are
currently in need of someone to act as coordinator for
the SCRIP program. Coordinators order the cards,
coordinate the sellers, keep inventory of the cards,
collect the money and give to the Cluster office for
counting. This requires roughly an hour per week
commitment. If you are interested and can help fill this
need, please contact Gloria Kisor (515-532-3586) as soon
as possible. Training and resources are provided.
WORD AMONG US: Grow closer to God this Easter
season! Pick up a copy of the devotional publication
The Word Among Us and spend 5 to 10 minutes each
day reflecting on the word of God for your life.
Copies are available in limited quantities in the
church entries.
7 SISTERS APOSTOLATE A special thank you to those members of the Cluster who
continue to pray for Father Blake for one hour on one day
each week. They are Anne Leonard, Diane Smith, Kay
Nelson (St. Francis Xavier), Rickee Ewing, Mary Kelch,
Mary Waters (St. John), and Mary Lindstrom (Sacred

consented to continue to pray another year. If we have
addition women who wish to be a part of the 7 Sisters
Apostolate, we will start a group to pray for one of our
retired priests.
