The Ascension of Christ
“The Ascension frames Luke’s two-volume work. Luke ends his Gospel account and begins Acts of the Apostles with the Ascension narrative. The Ascension
functions differently in each work. In the Gospel, it gives closure to Jesus ministry. In Acts it signals the beginning of the disciples ministry.”

THE GOSPEL SYMBOLS
---
Since today is the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist, let us understand the meaning of the Gospel symbols.
MATTHEW (human): The Gospel begins with the
human genealogy of Jesus.
MARK (lion): The Gospel begins with John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness, roaring like a lion.
LUKE (ox): The Gospel begins inside the Temple where
oxen are offered.
JOHN (eagle): The Gospel begins with the theology of
the Word, soaring like an eagle

Tonight the R(OCIA) class along with our High School Confirmation class will meet in the church for confessions. For many this will be their first confession and for some it will be a revisit to this beautiful healing Sacrament, where Christ offers His loving mercy. We humbly ask for your prayers as they receive the loving mercy of our Father in this healing Sacrament.
