4 May 8, 2016 Ascension Sunday Page Four THANK YOU MOM! by MARK HART How exactly do you thank your mother for being your mother? I mean, seriously this woman carried you in her body for nine months; she endured back-breaking, ankle-swelling discomfort, sleepless nights, weird food cravings, drama c weight gain, and hormone fluctua ons that make pinball machines appear tame. That s not even saying a thing, either, about the insanity of delivering you. Believe me, I ve been in the delivery room mul ple mes. You could tell your mom thank you from here to eternity and it s ll wouldn t be enough to communicate the gra tude she deserves for keeping you (in this abor on crazy culture), carrying you and giving birth to you. So where does that leave you on Mother s Day? What s your plan to celebrate her motherhood? I wanted then to drop some Biblical wisdom that you might want to take to prayer and share with mom this weekend (or any me, for that ma er). Here are some verses you might want to share within a card or note and some ideas for how you can e them into a message for your mother: Thank your Mother for her constant example of faithfulness and for raising you in the faith. Deuteronomy 6:7 Thank her for the depth of her love. 1 Peter 4:8 This might also be a good me to pledge to be more obedient to your Mother s authority and vow to change behavior, if necessary. Ephesians 6:1-3 You might want to point out how the very thought of her fills you with gra tude and joy. Philippians 1:3 Speak about how her example inspires you to live an even holier life. Philippians 4:8 Be specific. List the ways (and examples of mes that) your Mother has exemplified love in ac on. Point to her virtue and affirm her for it. Colossians 3:12-17, Gala ans 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, Romans 12:9-18 Thank her for how her example of love has led you to more deeply understand the love of God the Father. 1 John 4:7-8, Ephesians 3:16-19 You might wish to praise her example of fidelity and womanhood, as wife and mother. Proverbs 31:10, Instead of rolling your eyes or ge ng embarrassed the next me your mom talks about your childhood, thank your mother for giving you so many memorable moments over the years, for remembering them and bringing them up even at inopportune mes. The fact that she does shows not only that she cares, but how special you are. Luke 2:19 Assure her that you will remember all the things she taught you as you go away to school or move forward in your life. Proverbs 6:20-22 Echo the truth that you will praise her and be thanking her for the rest of your life... that you will seek to parent like her. Proverbs 31:2 If you re looking for one for your grandmother... or if you ve given your mother gray hair Proverb 17:6

9 May 8, 2016 Ascension Sunday Page Nine Jest na świecie piękna istota, u której jesteśmy wiecznymi dłużnikami matka. M. Ostrowski N ajważniejsza osoba w życiu każdego z nas, niezależnie od tego w jakim jesteśmy wieku, to matka. ilna więź łącząca dziecko z matką sprawia, że jest ona kimś szczególnym. Wysłucha, doradzi, pocieszy Zbliża się dzień, w którym możemy podziękować naszym mamom za to co dla nas zrobiły i nadal robią. Ta szczególna data to Dzień Matki, w USA przypadający zawsze w drugą niedzielę maja. Tradycyjnie właśnie dzisiaj mamy zostaną obdarowane kwiatami, kartkami z życzeniami, czekoladkami Polacy mieszkający w USA dwukrotnie obchodzą to święto. W Polsce bowiem Dzień Matki przypada zawsze 26 maja. Wyraźmy więc w tych dniach swój szacunek, miłość do naszych mam, które kochają nas zawsze, bezwarunkowo, bezinteresownie, niezależnie od szerokości geograficznej. Sprawmy by Święto Matki było dla nich szczególnym dniem. Jednocześnie pamiętajmy o tych mamach, które już od nas odeszły. Matka to dar od Boga, który kocha i kochać nas będzie. Matka to bezcenny skarb, który strzec trzeba w nocy i we dnie. Matka to na ranę plaster, kiedy jest nam smutno i źle. Matka to też czasem ster, który pilnuje byś nie zatopił się. Matka to wiara w nas, kiedy zwątpienia mam dni. Matka nam nadzieję da, kiedy straszne mamy sny. Matkę tylko jedną masz, wiec broń jej i kochaj co sił, Bo kiedy przyjdą gorsze dni, tylko Ona naprawdę pomoże Ci. Wszystkim naszym Mamom, życzymy, by miały w sobie dość siły i obfitość serca dla swych dzieci, by siłę tę czerpały z serca Bogurodzicy Maryi i do Niej się uciekały w trudnych chwilach.

13 May 8, 2016 Ascension Sunday Page Thirteen ON CHRIST S ASCENSION, AND MOTHER S DAY Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) Busy day today, with two very important things to celebrate: Christ s Ascension (actually a carried-over celebra on from this past Thursday), and Mother s Day! Is there a connec on? Of course! There s always a connec on! One connec on in my mind is the feeling of awe and wonder each solicits. You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, Jesus tells the crowd, and then up he goes, right before their eyes. Yeah. Per Acts, When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was li ed up, and a cloud took him from their sight. In my mind s eye, I can see them all standing there, looking up amazed, bewildered, and probably frightened by what he s called them to do. Reminds me a li le of the feelings Winston Churchill probably had for his mother when he said this about her: [She] shone for me like the Evening Star. I loved her dearly, but at a distance At the same me, Christ s Ascension and Mother s Day also solicit in me feelings of joy and happiness. As believers, look who we claim as our own. The Christ! I have bad days. You probably do, too. But if we can just get it in our heads--and hearts--that Jesus is ever for us, then we should carry with us a deep down joy that is immune to the day-to-day vagaries of life. Last week he reminded us, I am going away, and I will come back to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father. So let s rejoice already. Even the responsorial psalm for today hints at heaven s celebra on in Christ s return to the Father: God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord! We should all also find joy in the celebra on of good mothers everywhere, and I suspect we each have a story to tell tes fying to such joy. Me? I s ll smile recalling Mom s forceful direc on whenever she sensed the mood going south in the Reynolds household: This is a happy home! But surely the greatest common denominator between Christ s Ascension and Mother s Day is the feeling of hope that each engenders. In Paul s le er to the Ephesians, he speaks to this directly: May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revela on resul ng in knowledge of him. May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call We can even hear hope in the gentle chiding directed by the men in white to the crowd as Jesus disappears before them: Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking up to the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way... And as for Mother s Day, yes, I recall what American author Florida Sco -Maxwell once said ( No ma er how old a mother is, she watches her middle-aged children for signs of improvement ), but this isn t the hope I m referring to. I m referring to Dr. Louise Hart s idea instead: Bringing a child into the world is the greatest act of hope there is. Like I said, much to celebrate... Happy Ascension. Happy Mother s Day.
