Ascension of the Lord 1^st June: Focus: May we be Christ’s joyful witnesses to the ends of the earth. – On this Solemnity of the Ascension, we recall with praise what Jesus has done for us by his suffering, death, & resurrection. We are called to not simply meditate on these events, but to bring the fruits of our prayer into the world as his witnesses. This is the task of the Church – to preach the Gospel to all nations - & we participate in this individually by living & proclaiming our faith within our own spheres of influence.
