Saint Augustine asks: “Could God have been able to give us anything more precious than what He has given us in the Blessed Sacrament? Do you know, dear brethren, what induced Jesus Christ to condescend to be present in our churches day and night? It was that we might be able to come to Him whenever we wanted to…What, dear brethren, is more consoling for a Christian than to feel he adores a God who is really and truly present body and soul? What is it that makes our churches so sacred and so venerable? Is it not the presence of Jesus Christ? What an immense privilege we Christians enjoy!”
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching

Christ’s disciples adore and worship Him as God. In the Gospel passage for Trinity Sunday they finally see Christ as the Son of God. They are both joyful and amazed at what they are now witnessing. Jesus says to His disciples: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Jesus Christ is omnipotent. Christ tells His disciples that the authority He is giving them to proclaim the Gospel comes from Him.
This reminds us that the authority of the Church comes directly from Jesus Christ. This authority in the sphere of faith and morals is above any other authority on earth. The Apostles receive the task of teaching the world what Jesus taught them. The Church therefore has the duty to proclaim the same faith the Apostles themselves received. This mission belongs especially to the Bishops.
The teachings of the Pope and the Bishops therefore should always be accepted by everyone with assent and obedience. The mission of the Church is to continue the work of Christ. We must teach the truths of God and the duty we have to embrace these truths. We must rely on the grace of the sacraments. Christ has promised to never leave His Church.

The mystery of Pentecost is so significant that Holy Mother Church places it on the same plane as the paschal solemnity itself. Easter is the redemption of man by the victory of Christ over sin and Satan. Pentecost is the Holy Ghost taking possession of man redeemed. The Ascension of Christ prepares the mission of the Holy Ghost to our earth. This mission could not take place until Jesus had been glorified.
The coming of the Holy Ghost is not just an event that affects mankind as a whole. Each individual is invited to receive this same visit. This visit renews the face of the earth. God wants to be close to all of us. Christ asks only that we love Him and keep His Word. If we do this, He promises us that His Father will love us and take up His abode in our soul!
We have a great opportunity once again to be filled with the Holy Ghost! Come Holy Ghost! Let us make our prayer to God that we will truly be transformed by the power of the Holy Ghost.
Sincerely in Christ,

Jesus Christ has ascended into heaven! We step into another phase of the mystery of Easter. Jesus is triumphant in His Resurrection. The Ascension of Christ into heaven to take His seat on His rightful throne prompts men and angels to pay Him due adoration and glory. At the name of Jesus, Son of Man and Son of God, Saint Paul says that: “Every knee shall bend, in heaven, on earth and in hell.”
This Man Jesus, child of Adam through the Immaculate Blessed Virgin Mary, is the masterpiece of God’s omnipotence. The angels love to fix their gaze upon Him; the blessed Trinity is well-pleased with Him; the gifts of grace bestowed upon Him surpass all that men and angels together have ever received. Saint Paul writes: “He humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross; for which cause God also hath exalted Him, and hath given Him a name, which is above all names.”
We must remember today that Jesus Christ in all His glory is still very much active in the world and in our lives. He is appointed Judge of the living and the dead. We must all render Him an account of our lives one day. Furthermore, the angels who appeared to His apostles after His Ascension told us that Christ is to come again. He will descend through the clouds for the last judgment for all mankind to witness.
Today let us pray for all those who have lost all idea of true authority. Let us pray for those who refuse to acknowledge Jesus Christ.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
