THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD YEAR A

Theme: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations.”

Ist Reading: The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 1: 1-11                    Jesus died; he rose from the dead, and interacted with his disciples for forty days. Today, we commemorate his ascension into heaven with the prayerful affirmation that Christ will return in the same way as his disciples saw him going into heaven.

 

2nd Reading: Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, chapter 1: 17-23                St Paul prays for the Ephesians and all believers that the Holy Spirit would open us up to the full knowledge of Christ, our hope, who shares power with God, our father.

 

Gospel Reading: Matthew, chapter 28: 16-20                                     Jesus Christ, to whom all power has been given, sends us, his followers, to go out, and take his message to the world. He assures us that he will be with us until the end of time.
