“Men of Galilee ,
why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up
from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going
into heaven.”
Sometimes we are awe struck by the massiveness of God's mercy and wonder. Instead of standing around waiting for something to happen, we are called to be his mercy and wonders in the world. Jesus lives in us. Jesus returns daily in our lives and witnesses to the world in Christians. The witness is how we live and what we do. We are the extension his resurrection. Each of us is asked by the Holy Spirit to be the miracle of Christ in the world. In this we ascend to find the Kingdom of heaven that is here now and bring it to a world looking for something they do not understand.
Prayer:
Dear Lord delight us in rejoicing in the blessings found
in the Ascension of Christ your Son. Eternal joy is found where Christ is gone to
be in your divine presence. We pray for this
the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
