O God, let all the nations praise you!
My dear friends,
May this Memorial Day Weekend allow us a chance to offer prayers of gratitude and eternal repose to all who served our country and sacrificed their lives so that we could live in freedom, particularly the freedom to practice our faith.
This past Thursday at Cardinal Hayes High School on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx (whose motto is "For God and Country"), one of IHM's faithful parishioners, William "Bill" Lessa, was honored with Mass and a luncheon for his 53 years of service to Hayes as a teacher, counselor and principal. Bill's commitment to generations of young men through Catholic education, the support of his wife Mary Ann and family, and his active faith and service to the Church is a true blessing! What an honor it is to have a persevering and joyful witness among us! Congratulations on your upcoming and well-deserved retirement, Principal Lessa!
This morning Seminarian Ian Mendoza and I are headed to St. Patrick's Cathedral for the ordination of three new priests.
His Eminence has asked us to offer names for consideration of potential priestly vocations. Cards are still available at the church entrances—please drop completed ones into the collection or hand them to a priest!
I believe Lectio Divina will continue this Tuesday, May 27th at 7:00 p.m. in the lower church, reflecting on next Sunday’s readings—join us for this prayerful time to read and pray the Scriptures.

This past Wednesday our HSOR (high school youth ministry) held graduation for the seniors. HSOR is an important part of IHM to keep our high schoolers connected to Christ, the Church and with one another. Nancy Vericker, the coordinator, has a gift speaking personally about each one at graduation as well as inspiring the youth in their Catholic identity. I am grateful to those who assist Nancy: Elise, Ray, Mike & Ian! Congratulations to the graduates and the families of our seniors!
Please pray for our young women and men who will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation from Bishop Bonnici this Friday! May it be a moment of deep realization of the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives, blessings upon their families, and may it foster a deep desire with the courage to witness to the Risen Jesus Christ through Sunday Mass and active participation in the life of IHM. Come Holy Spirit - fill the hearts of your faithful!
This week is Ascension Thursday - a Hoy Day of Obligation. Mass schedule is below!

Save the date - June 22 at Lake Isle, where we will have an afternoon parish celebration with brunch that will give me an opportunity to express my gratitude to you on being part of a great parish community here at IHM before I depart to assume the responsibilities of Vice Rector of Saint Joseph's Seminary Dunwoodie in Yonkers this summer.
We also will be able to bid farewell to Sister Theresa Chen, who is graduating from Fordham University today after studying spiritual direction and will be heading back to her community on July 15th.

Today we honor all the brave men and women of our military who have fallen in the line of duty.
Since the days following the end of the Civil War, Americans have dedicated the end of May to remembering those who died in military service to their country. Let us pray for the souls of our generation and those before us who paid the ultimate price so that they might find eternal rest before the face of God.

God of power and mercy,
you destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears,
that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters.
Keep in your mercy those men and women
who have died in the cause of freedom
and bring them safely
into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Ascension of Christ
Jesus "ascends" into Heaven. What does this mean?
We do not believe that Jesus is on a cloud or floating around the galaxy or went "up, up, and away!" For the Jewish people, "heaven" and "earth" are two realms that are connected, not separated. We don't escape the earth or our earthly bodies; the Biblical worldview understands heaven and earth as interacting in a very real way.
When we say that Jesus "ascends," we believe that he is (1) alive and (2) with us still in a very real way. "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?" the angels say to the apostles (Acts 1:11). Jesus is still with us now, so let's get to work on bringing about the Kingdom of God in the here and now!
Consider watching the clip below where Bishop Barron explains why the Ascension of Jesus matters.
“Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him!"

A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Mass Every Morning
A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Preparing for Sunday
A Word from Cardinal Dolan: This is St. Peter
Sunday, May 25, 2025 | Sixth Sunday of Easter| John 14:23–29
Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus says that the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in Christ’s name, will teach his disciples everything. The Holy Spirit is the love shared by the Father and the Son. We have access to this holy heart of God only because the Father sent the Son into the world, into our dysfunction, even to the limits of godforsakenness—and thereby gathered all of the world into the dynamism of the divine life.
Those who live in Christ are not outside of God as petitioners or supplicants; rather, they are in God as friends, sharers in the Spirit. And this spiritual life is what gives us knowledge of God—a knowledge, if you will, from within.
When the great masters of the Christian way speak of knowing God, they do not use the term in its distanced, analytical sense; they use it in the biblical sense, implying knowledge by way of personal intimacy. This is why St. Bernard of Clairvaux, for one, insists that initiates in the spiritual life know God not simply through books and lectures but through experience, the way one friend knows another. That knowledge is what the Holy Spirit facilitates.
