THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the 7th Sunday of  Easter and the Feast of Ascension of the Lord.

The Solemnity of Ascension of the Lord is for us the direction for our own lives, that we will be in the future in heaven with God the Father. But we have the task to do during our earthly lives. To be the witnesses of Christ who evangelize the other people especially non-Christians maybe in our own Family. To be the disciples of Christ who make the commandment of love alive to everyone who is around us.

The Mass is the remembrance of that last meeting with Christ when He sent disciples to go forward and teach the other people about the Kingdom of God. Even The Word Mass has the root in the Latin word mitto –ere – that’s mean send somebody, give someone the mission. Today We have the same task: go and proclaim the Good News with joy in our work, in our neighborhood and in our surroundings.

“And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you.”

Reflections

  1. Am I willing to be sent as witness, or martyr?
  2. What .nation. am I sent to? Possibly my family and my community at home, and also the marginalized around the world, particularly in this age of globalization?
  3. Do I take time to experience joy, like Mary, the shepherds, and other disciples of Jesus?
