Solemnity of the Ascension of The Lord
All endings are new beginnings
Easter was over several weeks ago, right? Not really, because the story goes on. The post-Resurrection Jesus appeared to his disciples. He ate with them. And he spent 40 days preparing them to continue his mission. Today (Thursday) we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension, recalling the day Jesus ascended from this human life to enter divine glory and be "seated at God's right hand." Ascension brings to a remarkable close the Easter events that we call the "Paschal Mystery": the Passion, death, and Resurrection of Jesus. Yet this really is not an end either. After the Ascension, the disciples returned to Jerusalem with joy, ready and eager for what was to come. Let's roll up our sleeves and carry on their
ministry.
