beyond the city and into the outlying countries and regions, just as the Gospel reading commands. This Spirit given to them by Christ is a spirit of mission and witness.

That looking up can be interpreted as a longing for Jesus presence that was no longer in human form. Things had radically changed. Jesus mission had finished, and now theirs was beginning.

We are his missionaries, his representatives. He counts on us to go into the world and bring his message to all his beloved children just as he did with preaching, testimony, and love.

2 May 13, 2018 Seventh Sunday of Easter (B)/ Ascension of the Lord Seventh Sunday: Acts 1:15 17, 20a, 20c 26; 1 Jn 4:11 16; Jn 17:11b 19 Ascension: Acts 1:1 11; Eph 1:17 23 or Eph 4:1 13 or 4:1 7, 11 13; Mk 16:15 20 Sent to be Missionaries Piece: The Holy Trinity and the Apostles, Artist: Pietro Perugino Location: Vatican Museums T he beginning of the Book of Acts presents a summary of the life of Christ and how he called and taught the apostles in the Holy Spirit. After his resurrection, Christ kept the apostles in Jerusalem, where they prayed together with the Virgin and awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit which would give them power to witness to him beyond the city and into the outlying countries and regions, just as the Gospel reading commands. This Spirit given to them by Christ is a spirit of mission and witness. When Jesus was finished speaking, when his revelation had finished, he was taken to heaven. And the apostles were left standing there, looking up after him. That looking up can be interpreted as a longing for Jesus presence that was no longer in human form. Things had radically changed. Jesus mission had finished, and now theirs was beginning. Their situation is the same as ours. We are sent on a mission! An essential element of being Christian is to understand that we are sent into the world to build Christ s kingdom. We are his missionaries, his representatives. He counts on us to go into the world and bring his message to all his beloved children just as he did with preaching, testimony, and love. Jesus doesn t send us to be comfortable, professionally successful, and wealthy. He sends us to be missionaries! Fr. Mark Haydu, LC For Reflection Do I live as if I am Christ s presence on earth, aware that I am his missionary? If Jesus were in my family, social, and professional situations, what would he do? When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. Acts 1:9 E 2018 Liguori Publications Liguori, MO l comienzo del Libro de los Hechos presenta un resumen de la vida de Cristo y cómo llamó y enseñó a los apóstoles en el Espíritu Santo. Después de su resurrección, Cristo guardó a los apóstoles en Jerusalén, donde oraron juntos con la Virgen y esperaron la venida del Espíritu Santo que les daría poder para atestiguarlo más allá de la ciudad y en los países y regiones remotas, tal como el Evangelio leyendo comandos este Espíritu que Cristo les dio es un espíritu de misión y testimonio. Cuando Jesús terminó de hablar, cuando su revelación terminó, fue llevado al cielo y los apóstoles se quedaron allí de pie, mirando hacia él. Esa mirada hacia arriba puede interpretarse como un anhelo por la presencia de Jesús que ya no estaba en forma humana. Las cosas habían cambiado radicalmente. La misión de Jesús había terminado, y ahora la de ellos había comenzado. Su situación es la misma que la nuestra. Nos envían en una misión! Un elemento esencial de ser cristiano es entender que somos enviados al mundo para construir el reino de Cristo. Somos sus misioneros, sus representantes. Él cuenta con nosotros para ir al mundo y llevar su mensaje a todos sus amados hijos tal como lo hizo, con predicación, testimonio y amor. Jesús no nos envía a estar cómodos, profesionalmente exitosos y ricos. Él nos envía a ser misioneros!

Why would Jesus need a body in heaven? In the Old Testament, there was a great chasm between our bodies and heaven. We were told that no one could see the face of God and live, let alone live with God in heaven. Jesus came to bridge that gap through his body and blood. Jesus glorified body is in heaven to show that we, too, will be glorified like him, showing that, as part of God s creation, our bodies are inherently good and worthy of heavenly life. Jesus ascension will be followed by our ascension into heaven. Our bodies will become like Jesus glorified body. Our life with God will become like Jesus life with God. We see in Jesus our own future. Our lives and our loves will not be snuffed out like a candle. Rather, we will carry them in our spiritual and glorified self, leaving behind pain, death, and human inadequacies. Christianity is a flesh-and-blood religion. We can t bypass the physical to reach the spiritual. Jesus ascended into heaven, body and soul. We do not reach higher spiritual truths by rejecting the material world. Heaven won t contain disembodied spiritual beings, but will be full of glorified human bodies without the inadequacies we suffer now. Saint Paul, in 1 Corinthians Heaven won t contain disembodied spiritual beings, but will be full of glorified human bodies without the inadequacies we suffer now. 15:35 40, tries to explain this to the people of Corinth. He tells them that the splendor of the heavenly body is of one kind and the splendor of the earthly body is another. Sundaybulletin@Liguori.org From Dear Padre: Questions Catholics Ask, 2003 Liguori Publications A Word From Pope Francis [God] asks us to be missionary disciples, men and women who radiate the truth, beauty and life-changing power of the Gospel; men and women who are channels of God s grace, who enable his mercy, kindness, and truth to become the building blocks of a house that stands firm.
