When you think about it, Jesus' final instructions are pretty daunting: carry on the mission of God incarnate; the mission of one who can walk on water, command the seas, heal the sick, drive out demons, and who literally just rose from the dead.

You and I are not Jesus. And thus, being asked to carry forth Christ's mission of proclaiming the good news can seem impossible, especially when we consider where it led him: to the cross.

But the last part of today's reading is the kicker. Because Jesus doesn't send us out alone. In fact, he tells us that he will be with us "to the end of the age." And he is: through the sacraments, prayer, and community of the Church.

Yes, Holy Assumption family, Jesus asks big things of us. But he asks us precisely because he is with us; a presence that makes all the difference. So as we celebrate the Ascension, let's prayerfully consider how we can respond to the call to be missionary disciples.

In the month of May, we're talking a lot about flowers. Believe it or not, they feature strongly in Sacred Scripture! Take a look:

-Jesus uses the lilies growing in the field as an example of how God takes care of creation (Matthew 6:28-29)
-The "rose of Sharon" mentioned in the Song of Songs represents beauty and desirability, and gives us a sense of the longing with which God looks at his people (Song of Songs 2:1)
-Almond blossoms sprout on Aaron's staff as a sign of God's favor and selection (Numbers 17:8)
-Hyssop symbolizes the purification we experience when we repent before God and are restored by his love (Psalm 51:9)
-And the prophet Isaiah points to the flower of the field as a symbol of human frailty and transience, and the need to be rooted in God.

Flowers may be small and seemingly insignificant, but God chooses to refer to them in his Word. After all, he made them! And their beauty, purity, and, yes, fragility, can help us reflect upon our own lives and our need for God. Let's hope that, through his goodness, our love of Scripture continues to grow here at Holy Assumption.

Baptism fundamentally changes us and marks the beginning of our life in Christ. We can always draw on the life-giving presence of God in our souls with just one moment of prayer. (Even if that prayer is, "Lord, help!") Join us for daily Mass and take some time to contemplate: Friday at 8:00 am

If there's one apostle who it'd be easy to forget, it's St. Matthias. First, he became an apostle only after Jesus's ascension, selected by lot to replace Judas Iscariot.

But another element of St. Matthias's relative obscurity is the similarity of his name to a much better known apostle: St. Matthew; dramatic convert, convener of sinners and tax collectors, and gospel author extraordinaire. Talk about getting overshadowed!

But today, on St. Matthias's feast day, it's worth getting familiar with him. For one, his selection restored the number of apostles to 12, symbolically underscoring that the Church is the New Israel, as there were 12 tribes of Israel. Second, he was eligible only because he had witnessed the resurrected Jesus, underscoring that Christianity is rooted in real events, not mere ideas. Finally, Matthias's selection demonstrates that appointment to apostolic office is a process that goes through, not around, Church authorities.

In short, St. Matthias is a great witness to the historical and hierarchical dimensions of the Catholic Church and our Christian faith. And today, on his feast day, let's ask for him to bless all of us at Holy Assumption.
