7th Week of Easter – Wednesday C
As we gather on this Wednesday of the 7th Week of Easter, we find ourselves in a sacred moment of transition. We have just celebrated the Lord’s Ascension, when Jesus ascended into heaven, promising to send the Holy Spirit to empower His disciples. Now, as we prepare to celebrate Pentecost this coming Sunday, our hearts are stirred with anticipation and a call to deepen our readiness to receive the Spirit, while at the same time rejoicing that our Lord returned to his rightful place, seated with the Godhead, having been vindicated in his victory over evil, sin, the devil and what Scripture calls his final enemy – death.
