Homily given at the 8:45 a.m. Mass on Sunday, May 12, 2013, the Solemnity of the Ascension and Mother's Day, by Dcn. Greg VandeVoorde, Christ the King Catholic Church. Dcn. Greg VandeVoorde speaks of the joy that we can have as disciples of the Lord. Just as the Blessed Virgin Mary, like a good mother, encouraged the disciples to be joyful in living out their faith, so our Mother the Church encourages us to remember the Lord's promises and commands and to joyfully live out our faith.

Homily given at the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, May 12, 2013, the Solemnity of the Ascension and Mother's Day, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. Just before Jesus ascended, He said, "It is better for you that I go," because then He would send the Holy Spirit, Who would clothe us with power. Fr. Ed discusses why we need more of the power of the Spirit in order to live for Jesus and defend His way of life, such as Christian motherhood.
