Prayer Prompt before reading LK 24:46-53: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.

“AS HE BLESSED THEM HE PARTED FROM THEM AND WAS TAKEN UP TO HEAVEN.” LK 24:46-53

Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.

40 days after Jesus resurrected from the dead the Apostles witnessed Him ascend into heaven. He has appeared to the Apostles several times and has appeared to as many as 500 eyewitnesses.  We celebrate the feast of the Ascension on Sunday, but Ascension Thursday is its original feast day to match the 9 days before Pentecost.  Jesus returns to the Father because it is only natural for Him to return where He came from and to be one with the Father to fulfill His mission and purpose.  

His seat is above all others. Every angel, saint, and sinner below bow to Him with His mother, Mary.  He is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. There is no explanation for what it must to have been like for Jesus to be lifted before the Apostles’ eyes into heaven. Amazing!  

Today begins the pioneering of the novena.  Jesus asked the Apostles and Mary to stay in Jerusalem.  They stay in the upper room praying for 9 days until He returns for Pentecost. They spend these 9 days in prayer which begins the first novena. At Pentecost, the power of God comes to the earth in full force. No longer will Jesus be outside of us but in every baptized person through the Holy Spirit. We are now His hands and feet, other Christs, guided by the Holy Spirit and called to renew the face of the earth.

Today’s challenge: Begin a novena.  Here are a few.

Be a servant, be a saint today!
