The feast of the Ascension of the Lord Year A commemorates the day that Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. He also gave the Great Commission, that all of the world should be saved. In the first reading the ascension of Jesus is recounted and the Apostles are told they will receive the Holy Spirit. In the second reading we hear that Jesus Christ rules heaven and earth. In the gospel, Jesus tells his disciples to preach the Good News to the whole world. Take your family to Mass. Hear God’s word and feed on The Eucharist to renew and bring your family closer together!
