Dear Friend,
On the first day of June, Raymond Cardinal Burke offered the livestream Holy Mass on the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin. You don’t want to miss watching the entire homily, overflowing with pearls of wisdom, spiritually preparing us for the great Solemnity of Pentecost. Here are a few highlights:

The Ascension – the mystery of the enthronement of our nature; sharing in the mystery of His glory.
“United to the Divine nature of God the Son at the right hand of God the Father, God the Son incarnate suffered the cruelest passion and death to save us from sin and everlasting death, winning for us the home for which God the Father had destined to us from the beginning, Heaven. Where in the company of the angels and all the saints, we shall forever praise and glorify the Most Holy Trinity, God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”
“Our Lord, Jesus Christ, seated in glory at the right hand of the Father, never ceases to pour out His love upon us from His glorious pierced Heart, that we, uniting ourselves to Him in the mystery of His suffering and death, uniting our hearts, to His Most Sacred Heart, may we likewise share in the mystery of His glory.”
Prepare for Pentecost – ardently desire to receive the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit.
“If we are endured with the power from on high, we shall have nothing to fear. Let us ardently desire to receive the Holy Spirit. Let us make every effort to make Him abide in us, and we shall gain the victory, as did the apostles.”
“May these days of our Pentecost Novena dispose our hearts evermore to receive the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Christ. May Christ the King rule in our hearts from His glorious, pierced Heart. Thus, may we be fortified to suffer and die joyfully in Christ, confident of the victory of His resurrection and ascension in our lives.”
“The dwelling of the Holy Spirit in our souls, in our hearts, surely conquers sin and death.”
Special greetings to Operation Storm Heaven Rosary Warriors – through Mary, Jesus will come to our aid in these most troubled times.
“I urge you, beloved Rosary Warriors, to take heart from today’s celebration of the mystery of the Ascension and from our Pentecost Novena, even as you take heart from your daily meditation and the mysteries of the life of Our Lord and His most Blessed Mother. As you pray the Holy Rosary, Our Lord will not fail to hear our prayers made through the intercession of His Virgin Mother.”
