40 days after Easter Day, the church observes Ascension Day, in recognition of the astonishing moment when the resurrected Christ ascended, body and soul, into heaven. After his resurrection, Jesus remained with his disciples for 40 days. Over these five and a half weeks, over 500 people witnessed the resurrected Christ. Jesus’ death had been publicly confirmed and now he was publicly confirmed as alive. The resurrected Messiah fellowshipped with, taught, and ministered to his disciples, and even cooked for them and ate with them. For the remainder of the 1st century, these 500+ witnesses’ stories were cross-examined and investigated by skeptics and proven true time and time again and the Gospel spread with new generations of converts convinced that Jesus Christ was the living God.

At the culmination of these 40 days, Jesus lifted up his hands and blessed his disciples and was suddenly “taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.” (Acts 1:9) Yet Jesus had not abandoned his disciples. “I am with you always,” (Matthew 28:20) Jesus said in one of his final teachings. And so he is. Jesus is the true vine (John 15:1) and all who are in Christ are grafted into him (Romans 11:17). He is present in his body and his blood, giving us life and love, wisdom and truth. He continues to minister to us today as we await his coming again in great glory and power at the very end of the age.

Almighty God, whose only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven: May our hearts and minds also there ascend, and with him continually dwell; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

OPP is reminding parents, caregivers, and guardians to remain vigilant about online child luring, an offence where individuals use the internet or digital platforms to target and manipulate youth.

Online luring can occur on a wide range of apps and platforms that children and teens use daily for gaming, chatting, or social interaction. Offenders may initially present as friendly or supportive before engaging in manipulative, controlling, or exploitative behaviour.

Parents are encouraged to understand how these platforms work, review privacy settings, and discuss safe online behaviour with their children.

Parents should watch for changes in behaviour, including:
❗️Sudden secrecy around devices or online activity
❗️Withdrawing from family, long‑time friends, or hobbies
❗️Deleting chat histories or refusing to discuss online contacts
❗️Talking about new “friends” they have never met in person

If you believe a child is being targeted online, contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or call 911 in an emergency. Concerns can also be reported to Cybertip.ca, Canada’s national tip line for online child exploitation.

La Police provinciale de l'Ontario (OPP) rappelle aux parents, aux tuteurs et aux personnes qui s'occupent d'enfants de rester vigilants face au leurre en ligne, une infraction dans laquelle des individus utilisent Internet ou des plateformes numériques pour cibler et manipuler les jeunes.

Le leurre en ligne peut se produire sur un large éventail d'applications et de plateformes que les enfants et les adolescents utilisent quotidiennement pour jouer, discuter ou interagir socialement. Les délinquants peuvent d'abord se montrer amicaux ou bienveillants avant d'adopter un comportement manipulateur, contrôlant ou abusif.

Les parents sont encouragés à comprendre le fonctionnement de ces plateformes, à vérifier les paramètres de confidentialité et à discuter avec leurs enfants des comportements sûrs à adopter en ligne.

Les parents doivent être attentifs aux changements de comportement, notamment :
❗️Une discrétion soudaine concernant les appareils ou les activités en ligne
❗️Un retrait de la vie familiale, des amis de longue date ou des loisirs
❗️La suppression des historiques de discussion ou le refus de parler de ses contacts en ligne
❗️Le fait de parler de nouveaux « amis » qu’ils n’ont jamais rencontrés en personne

Si vous pensez qu’un enfant est victime d’abus en ligne, contactez la Police provinciale de l’Ontario (OPP) au 1-888-310-1122 ou composez le 911 en cas d’urgence. Vous pouvez également signaler vos préoccupations à Cybertip.ca, la ligne nationale canadienne de signalement des cas d’exploitation des enfants en ligne.
