Ascension Sunday May 20, 2007

This Homily (18 Minutes) by Fr. Thomas Weise given at the 5:30 pm Mass celebrates our Lord Jesus Christ's Ascension to the the right hand of the Father in Heaven after encouraging his disciples for forty days after the Resurrection. We have in Jesus a powerful intercessor who knows the whole of our lives being both fully human and full Divine. We have been commissioned to be Witnesses to the life and teachings of Jesus starting at home and going out to the ends of the earth. We are to wait on the Holy Spirit which is the promised gift of the Father, given to the Church on Pentecost.

Readings: Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47:2-3, 6-9, Ephesians 1:17-23, Luke 24:46-53
