THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD

Acts 1: 1-11; Psalm 47; Hebrews 9: 24-
28, 10: 19-23; Luke 24: 46-53

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. "Faith Book" is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus said to his disciples:

"And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you,

but stay in the city

until you are clothed with power from on high."

Reflection:

When our world is dark and we feel alone, we want Jesus to keep his word and send us "the promise of my Father." We want that promised One with us in whatever darkness, interior or exterior, we find ourselves.

So, we ask ourselves:

Name the darkness in your private world that needs "the promised One."

Will you pray from now till Pentecost for Jesus to fulfill his promise to you?
