Prayer
Holy Spirit, come and fill our hearts with joy, wisdom, and love.
Help us to live lives that reflect the beauty of the Ascension and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
Ascension of the Lord
"Men of Galilee why gaze in wonder at the Heavens? This Jesus whom you saw ascending into heaven will return as you saw him go, alleluia!"
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
The Ascension reminds us that we who follow Christ are called to look outwards and to go outwards, to leave our comfort zone and plant the seeds of the Gospel in the soil of this world. We are called as the Church to go places where we are not welcome, to proclaim good news that doesn’t always sound very good - certainly not to a culture that has eyes only for the here and now, and which views suffering as meaningless and values life only when it brings pleasure.
