Ascension Sunday
HE DID NOT LEAVE US WHEN HE ASCENDED TO HEAVEN
Dear Parishioners:
Today, we celebrate the feast of Ascension, the return of our Lord Jesus Christ to heaven, where he is seated at the right hand of the Father.
The scripture says, “the Apostles were looking up and the clouds took him from their sight”. In the Old Testament, the cloud was the symbol of God’s presence (Exodus 13:21). This means, Christ has gone to where he came from.
In the words of St Augustine, Jesus Christ did not leave heaven when he came amongst us, and he did not leave us when he ascended into heaven.
Pope Benedict VI, in his reflection once said, the feast of Ascension presents Jesus’s departure, not as a journey to the stars, but as his entry into the mystery of God…. into the communion of power and life with the living God, hence, he has not “gone away” but now and forever by God’s own power, he is present with us and for us.
Our Lord Jesus Christ before his Ascension promised to be with us till the end of time (Matt 28:2). He said, I will not leave you orphaned (John 14:18). Jesus is always present with us. As the church teaches, he is present in the Eucharist, in the Priest, in the Assembly of God’s people and in the Scripture. Jesus’ presence did not change into absence, No, what changes is the mode of his presence. As we celebrate Ascension, let our hearts and minds ascend with him so that we can become better Christians. Let us wait patiently for the gift of the Holy Spirit as he promised. May we always be his witnesses in the world Amen.
Happy Sunday
Your brother in Christ
