A Summary of the text

Join Father Anthony Uche as he guides listeners through a profound reflection on the Ascension of our Lord Jesus. Drawing from scriptural readings, his insights delve deep into the incredible mystery of Jesus' transition from our temporal world into the eternal realm.

The first reading comes from Acts of the Apostles, chapter 1, verses 1 to 11, followed by the soothing words of Psalm 47. Our day's exploration continues with St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians and concludes with a gospel reading from St. Mark's gospel, chapter 16, verses 15 to 20.

Our focus is to comprehend the profound mystery of Jesus' Ascension - His departure into an eternal order of life and communion with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. This transition does not mark an end but a glorious beginning, realigning him closer to us and free to extend his divine care. Despite his ascension, his presence remains unshakeable among us, guiding, caring, and preparing us for an eternal life that he promises.

We are not simple spectators in this divine communion, but active contributors, united wholesomely with our ascended Lord and Savior. As partakers of his eternal sacrifice, we witness his marvellous deeds and radiate his divine news through our words and actions. Always remember, we are the citizens of Heaven and hold within us the power and gifts to build a dynamic Christ's body on Earth. This unity ushers peace in our lives and the world while we wait his return in glory.

As Father Anthony concludes, let us continue to rejoice in the knowledge that our Lord Jesus is always with us, guiding us in love. May these prophetic insights bless and inspire you and fortify your faith journey in the light of the Ascension.
