Wednesday I was putting together the weekend music books. As I reached for the Alleluia— The “Alleluia for Ascension”, a setting that Fr. Krizner wrote (he was a songwriter too…. who knew!)— I pulled this out of the folder instead. Fr. would often write notes during Mass and pass them along to me about things to add/change to the music “in the moment”— I loved those Holy Spirit moments. They were among the many things that made his priesthood and ministry so endearing. I’m often “off the cuff” as well which is one of the reasons why we worked so well together… I’m getting off topic… anyways, I reached for this. It was something he wrote for Ascension some years ago. He added a bit of Santucci’s words as well— but it was his creative spin on it. He had me read it at Mass, probably after his homily or the reflection song. I always saved these writings/notes in my music folders thinking that it would be fun for me to find them again in the future. I’m grateful for that, especially since it was exactly what I needed to read that very day. Can’t keep this God-moment to myself so I must share it with you. I hope your Ascension weekend is filled with hope and peace.— Sara
