Ascension 2007

Meditation

“ Go and teach all people my gospel; I am with you always, until the end of the world.”
Matt 28:19, 20

“ Then he led them as far as Bethany and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.”
Luke 24: 50-51

Reflection

Upon leaving his disciples, Jesus promised to be with them always. He assures me of the same support, so that I too may succeed in serving His mission to all peoples.

Prayer

God our Father, both joy and mystery surround the ascension of your Son Jesus Christ. May I be transformed into the new creation He has begun, and await in joyful hope His coming again in glory.
Amen.
