Dear Friends in Christ,
“Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord”. Hearts lifted to God in the Eucharist signify our own ascension, says St. Augustine. Human beings have a profound desire to reach the transcendant and to discover their life’s meaning and mission.
In the gospel Jesus guides the eleven disciples up a mountain on which He alone is worshipped. He imparts to them the mission to teach, to baptize and to invite others into discipleship. They will not be abandoned on the mission for the Spirit of Jesus will always be with them even to the end of tiem.
God Bless,
Father John +
