The Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Today the Church celebrates the Ascension of our Lord. Christ, who rose from the dead, ascends into heaven not to distance Himself from us, but to open for us the way to the Father.
This feast reminds us that our life has not only an earthly dimension. We are called to look higher, to live with faith, hope, and love, remembering that our final home is in the Kingdom of God.
As Christ ascends into heaven, He does not leave His disciples as orphans. He promises them the power of the Holy Spirit and sends them to be witnesses of the Gospel. In the same way, the Lord calls us to be His witnesses in our families, in our parish, and in our daily life.
Lord, lift our hearts toward heaven and help us live in such a way that our lives may witness to Your Resurrection.
