Catholic news Immaculate heart of Mary Sunday marked the special feast of the Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven. The pastor, Father Robert Morrissey celebrated all the Masses bn the weekend. In his sermon, Father Morrissey discussed prayer, defined as "talking to God" and as "the soul's dominant desire," whether spoken or unspoken. Prayer expresses what a person real- ly wants from life, wants with his whole being. In the gospel, Jesus prayed "that all may be one," that we learn to care about each other, shar- ing our lives with each other. The major sickness of today is sheer loneliness, caused bya lack of communication and sharing. Christ prayed that all of us would have a horizontal friendship of sharing with our fellowmen, and a vertical friend- ship with God, as we experienced Him in our everyday lives, through prayer. -The reader at the 11 a.m. Mass was Martin Vrollyk, the cantor Paul Dietrich, and the choir performed "Look Ye Saints" at Communion.
