7th Week of Easter – Sunday C – Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather on this solemn feast—the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord—we reflect on a moment that marks both an end and a beginning: the glorious ascension of Jesus into heaven. Saint Luke, our gospel writer, invites us into this profound event with his characteristic style—clear, purposeful, and filled with hope. His words are not merely about Christ’s departure but of the mission he entrusted to us – his Church.
