The Ascension of the Lord


Short Reflection for the Solemnity of the Ascension (B)

Readings: Acts. 1: 1-11; Ephesians 1: 17-23; Mark 16: 15-20

Selected Passage: “These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mark 16: 17-18)

Reflection:  The gospel speaks of signs accompanying the believers. What are the new signs that must accompany our following of Christ today?
·       FELLOWSHIP in his name regardless of color, race, belief, language and gender;
·       It is our FELLOWSHIP with the poor and the excluded; and
·       It is our capacity to do the “extra mile” and to give away our extra coat as well.
