INTRODUCTION: On this feast of the Ascension,
let us learn to revere all that we have with deep
gratitude, and hold everything in open hands. Let
us reflect on the symbol of open hands. During
our times of prayer, let us open our hands and
surrender all the important treasures and
relationships of our lives to God.
GOSPEL: LUKE 24:46-53: Jesus said to his
disciples: “Thus it is written that the Christ would
suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and
that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins,
would be preached in his name to all the nations,
beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of
these things. 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.” Then he led them out as far as Bethany,
raised his hands, and blessed them. As he blessed
them he parted from them and was taken up to
heaven. They did him homage and then returned
to Jerusalem with great joy, and they were
continually in the temple praising God.
