Introduction
(Feast
of the Ascension of the Lord)
A pleasant day to everyone and Happy
Mother’s Day to all mothers!
Today we celebrate Ascension Sunday, the
time when the Risen Christ goes up to heaven to take his place at the right
hand of the Father. In his exultation, Christ receives sovereign authority and
power over creation and all history. But the Ascension is also a saving event
for us. “It is much better for you that I go . . If I go, I will send the Paraclete to you”. The
Risen Christ continues to work with us amid our current situation and
realities.
Today, we also celebrate the 47th
World Communications Day with the theme proposed by Pope Benedict XVI: “Social
Networks: portals of truth and faith; new spaces for evangelization.”
May our choices, preferences and judgments
be fully consistent with the Gospel.
Please rise for the entrance hymn!
