Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
The Lord Jesus, after speaking to them, was taken up into heaven and took His seat at the right hand of God. But the disciples went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.
These words from the Gospel capture the meaning of the feast of the Ascension that we celebrate forty days after Easter and ten days before Pentecost. It is truly a feast that strengthens our faith and fills us with hope.
Today we contemplate the risen Lord ascending into heaven and sitting at the right hand of the Father. Through these mysterious words, the Gospel tells us that Jesus has entered fully into the glory and intimacy of God with His glorified humanity. Though He is no longer visible to our eyes, He remains always present among us. As He promised: “I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
The Ascension is about our redemption and our destiny. In Christ, our humanity has entered heaven. Death has been conquered, evil has been defeated, and a path has been opened for us. Jesus goes before us to show that our life on earth is a preparation for eternal life with God.
This feast is also a mission. Before ascending, Jesus entrusted His disciples with three commands: make disciples, baptize, and teach. The Ascension does not mean that Jesus abandoned His people. Rather, His presence has become deeper and universal through the Holy Spirit. He continues to work through His Church and through each one of us.
As baptized and confirmed Christians, we are called to proclaim the Good News by our words, our faith, and the witness of our lives. Through Christ, we are invited to become the hands, the eyes, and the heart of God in today’s world.
The Ascension is therefore a feast of hope and joy. It reminds us that heaven is our true home and that the Lord continues to walk with us.
Since this past Friday, we started the great novena preparing for Pentecost, asking the Holy Spirit to renew His gifts within us and within the Church.
“O Holy Spirit, come and touch our hearts. Guide us and lead us in Your love.”
And remember to wear red next Sunday as we celebrate Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. You are all invited to the Parish Center after the 11:30 a.m. Mass to continue celebrating this beautiful feast together. Please bring your favorite cookies to share with us.
God bless you all.
God is good / All the time!
