The Ascension of the Lord June 2, 2019
Promises
Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension. Traditionally it was celebrated on Thurs-
day, 40 days after Easter. Because of its importance as a feast day, it was made a diocesan op-
tion in the United States to celebrate the Ascension on Thursday or on the following Sunday, as
we do here in the Archdiocese.
Jesus appeared to His disciples several times during the forty days following His Resurrection.
He spoke to them at length about the kingdom of God. Just before He ascended into heaven,
He commissioned the disciples to go preach to all nations, to baptize and to live what He had taught them. In to-
day’s First Reading, He tells them to stay in Jerusalem to wait for the promise of the Father because in a few
days they will be baptized with the Holy Spirit; this would fortify them for their mission ahead. Then He was lift-
ed up and taken from their sight.
In a scenario reminiscent of Easter Sunday morning, two men dressed in white garments appeared beside
them and said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up
from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”
Feeling alone and distressed, the disciples returned to Jerusalem. They gathered as a community in an up-
per room to pray and to await the fulfillment of the Father’s promise. They were joined by some women includ-
ing Mary, the mother of Jesus. They had to be recalling some of the many things Jesus had told them. Yes, He
said He had to leave – but He let them down ever so easy. “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in
God; have faith also in me.” Jesus explained, “I am going to prepare a place for you. I will come back and take
you to myself. I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. I will not leave you orphans.” His message for us, as
well, is to trust in Him: “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you always.”
Now, we fast forward ten days. The disciples along with the Blessed Mother are gathered in the Upper
Room in Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost in the Jewish tradition. “Suddenly there came from the sky a noise like
a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as
of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:
2-3). This fulfilled the Father’s promise; this was the birth of the Church.
Next Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost, the birthday of the Church – the promise fulfilled. We celebrate the
Advocate, the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the Gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, knowledge, coun-
sel, fortitude, piety, fear of the Lord. Jesus has given us the greatest Gift ever, the gift of Himself, the gift of the
Spirit, the gift of the Church.
Now we look forward with great anticipation to the other promise Jesus made: “I am going to prepare a
place for you. I will come back and take you to myself. I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.”
Amen! Alleluia!
Father Storey
