FOCUS

The Solemnity of the Ascension invites us to raise our eyes to behold Christ’s glory.

Christ does not leave us in the Ascension.  Instead, he lifts our eyes, inviting us to behold his power and glory.  We do so in a particular way through the sacraments.  He is with us in our struggles.  He carries our burdens with us.  He makes his glorious presence known to us in a way that we can taste and see in the Eucharist.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

In the first reading, we hear witness of Jesus’ appearances after the resurrection, as well as the disciples’ experience of him being lifted up into a cloud and being taken from their sight.  In the second reading, Paul prays that the hearts of the faithful be enlightened to know Christ’s glory.  In the Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples:  Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creatureWhoever believes and is baptized will be saved.

REFLECTION

Today’s readings:  Acts 1:1-11; Ephesians 1:17-23 or 4:1-13 or 4:1-7, 11-13; Mark 16:15-20
