Ascension of the Lord
Today we celebrate the Ascension of Christ, our Brother and our Saviour, into heaven. It is not a day for sadness or narrowness. It is a day for joy and openness. It is a day for renewing our hope in the goal towards which Christ leads us, namely, 'a share in his own glory in the Father's kingdom.
First Reading:
This describes the ascension of Jesus into heaven, and his promise to send the Holy Spirit on his apostles.
Second Reading:
Paul describes the meaning of the ascension, which is that God raised Jesus above all earthly powers, and made him, not only head of the Church, but Lord of creation.
Gospel:
Before ascending to his Father, Christ instructs his apostles to preach the Gospel to the whole world.
