STUCK WITH A MODEST GOD (Mk 16:15-20): Ascension Sunday (24 May 2009)
Today’s Readings
Dear Lord Jesus,
Today we remember your Ascension. I guess many things can be said about it, but for me, it’ll always be the day you went away.
Yes, I know: You didn’t just pack up and leave. You didn’t just go without explaining why you had to return to the Father. You didn’t just disappear without making sure your disciples could continue your work. Most of all, you didn’t leave without first promising to send us your Holy Spirit and to be with us till the end of time.
