Today we celebrate the feast of Ascension. The
Ascension of Jesus reminds us that during our lives we are “only passing
through” on this earth, as we say. We are pilgrims on a journey. Just as Jesus’
earthly life was temporary, and he ascended to sit at the right hand of the
Father, so also our lives here are temporary, will come to an end, and we will
meet God in the next life. The Ascension of Jesus reminds us in all of our
busyness not to forget what life is all about. The Ascension of Jesus reminds
us that God has great plans for us that are out of this world. The Ascension
also reminds us what Jesus said before the ascension: “Go, therefore, make
disciples of all nations...”. It calls us to bear witness to Jesus through our
words and deeds. Be proud of you Catholic faith. Don’t be ashamed to practice
it in public.
