Fr. Greg's Notes
Dear Friends,
The feast of the Ascension is probably one of the least understood feast days we celebrate. Most people look at it as a Bon Voyage Party, waving and shouting, “Good-by, Jesus! Hope you enjoy heaven as you ascend up beyond us.” It’s a good-by party.
Actually, the feast of the Ascension marks a transaction between the historical Jesus who died and rose again and the beginning of the Body of Christ who continues to live within us--the Church. In each of the gospels, the Ascension is handled in different ways. Through all, we learn that Jesus is God and He was with the disciples. They went forth and preached while the Lord worked with them.
Jesus has not abandoned us; but is with us in a different way through the gift of the Spirit. He continues to love and care for us.
Alleluia,
Fr. Greg
