Today is the feast of the Ascension…

Today is Ascension Day, when the Church celebrates the risen Christ returning to the Father.

In the Gospel, Jesus blesses his disciples and is taken from their sight. This is not an ending, but a new beginning. Christ’s ascension affirms his authority and points to his continuing presence, as the disciples are sent out with joy to bear witness to what they have seen.

Ascension Day reminds us that Christ reigns with God and calls us to live as his witnesses in the world.

Scripture reading: Luke 24:50–51, 52–53

‘Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple blessing God.’

Prayer

Risen and ascended Lord,
you reign in glory and fill all things with your presence.
Lift our hearts to where you are,
and strengthen us to bear witness to your love.
Send us out in joy and faith,
to serve you in the world you came to save.

Amen.

The alleged gunman was identified as a Boston man. He allegedly used an assault-style rifle to shoot randomly, sending drivers fleeing from their cars.

We pray for peace…

The Archbishop of Canterbury has joined Pope Leo XIV in calling for peace.

In a statement issued today, the Archbishop says 'I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart, and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable. It is the calling of every Christian – and of all people of faith and goodwill – to work and pray for peace.'

The statement also notes: 'Time spent with Anglican Primates from across the Communion at my installation in Canterbury was a reminder of how many conflicts continue beyond the front pages of our news, yet demand no less our concern and prayer.'

Important words…

“The Rt. Rev. Julia E. Whitworth, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, said she was ‘appalled’ by Trump’s remarks. She said the negative reaction she has seen among church leaders and congregants reflects a longer-running concern about the worsening tone of public discourse.

'Jesus preached love and compassion and mercy and grace,’ Whitworth said. 'That does not seem to be the values that our president is promoting.’”

From The Boston Globe's recent article "Mass. religious leaders rebuke Trump for attacks on Pope Leo".

Join us tomorrow for our celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday at 9:00 am.

O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
