The Ascension of the Lord
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. - Mt. 28:16
Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the
sky? - Acts 1:11
The Ascension stories highlight two things we disciples of Jesus still tend to do and they outline for us our Mission
today.
"They worshiped, but they doubted." We worship him, but we doubt. Sure we do. We hold something back, don't we?
Even in our most devout moments, we don't always fully give ourselves to the faith that our life is in his hands and
that we have nothing to fear because he is always with us. In fact, we tend to live our day to day lives, not like people who fully believe in the resurrection and the hope and joy that gives, but like people who can easily get upset by the smallest of things. We can each take a little test right now.
Let's make two quick lists in our head: 1) list the ways I show signs of living the hope and joy of the resurrection; 2) now list the ways I show I am upset, disturbed, impatient, frustrated, angry at the people, situations, circumstances around me. See what I mean? It takes great grace to be
freed by the Good News, "I am with you always."
The second thing we tend to do is to catch ourselves "standing there looking at the sky." Jesus will return in
glory, but we aren't supposed to stand flat footed, waiting for the return. We have a mission. Too often we get caught realizing that our faith in Jesus, the gift of grace given to us, is not just about keeping us from sin. It is not only about our
relationship with Jesus - saying our prayers and avoiding evil. We are called to take his place in this world and to
share the Good News with others - to make a real difference in bringing others to the Lord. Another simple,
quick examination of my conscience can help. This involves a quick "self-grading." 1) What grade would I give my
fundamental relationship with the Lord in my everyday life? A? B? C? D? 2) Now, grade what do I give my efforts at self
-sacrificing love for the people closest to me, for those people with whom I struggle, and for the poor of the earth?
A? B? C? D?
The point of these moments of self awareness is not to make us feel guilty, ashamed or discouraged. They help us, in the same way the disciples were helped, to head up the road back to Jerusalem and await the coming of the Holy Spirit. "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth." The Greek word Luke uses here is dunamis - which is translated "power." We get our words "dynamic" and
"dynamite" from this word. The Spirit gives us something that can give a new dynamism to our lives, a new ability to do more than we could imagine, to be Jesus' witnesses.
Readings For Next Weekend (May 20, 2018)
Pentecost
Acts 2: 1-11 1 Cor 12: 3-7, 12-13
John 20: 19-23
ANGELS ARE MOTHERS by Kathleen J. Shields
There are Angels God puts on this Earth, Who care for us and guide us.
You can feel their love and gentleness as they walk through life beside us.
They do great things for us every day they whisper in our ears,
they even hold us in their hearts when we are filled with all our fears. They are always there to give a hug
and try to make us smile. They treat us with respect and love,
they treat us like their child. God blessed me with an Angel,
I’m proud to call my own. She’s been with me throughout my
life, been with me as I’ve grown. She’s guided me the best she can,
she’s taught me like no other, and I’m thankful I’m the lucky one who gets to call her… MOTHER.

RESPECT LIFE CORNER “We can all help encourage our government and other
institutions to support life. They must always aid and support mothers and children, and never offer to pay for the destruction of life as a ‘solution’ to the challenges women face.The call to
uphold women’s dignity and well-being, and that of their unborn children, is one and the same.”
