There is a sadness to the Gospel and readings this weekend,
as Jesus ascends into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father
Almighty. Even though Jesus has blessed us, for forty days he parts from us and
is carried up into heaven, to assume his position as leader of the Church. We
might feel his absence but it’s believing and knowing his eternal presence, will
always be with us here on earth. It is our mission now to announce the Good
news, to announce to the whole world how powerful and mighty, our great God is.
You see, the ascension is our exaltation,
and, where the head has gone before in glory, the rest of the body is called to
follow with faith and hope. We become now, the hands, feet and heart of the ‘Body
of Christ,’ and it’s up to us, to be the risen Christ for those who meet us and
journey with us, for God is with us. With us in truth, grace, love, God is with
us through healing, comfort, strength and God with us, when we need guiding and
a light to see the path we walk on. So, let us not be sad, he is with us until
the end of time, let us make disciples and spread God’s great love among our families,
friends and to all who come and go from our lives.
Women of Faith and Hope.
May God Bless Always.
