Ascension
Sunday
Jesus said to
his disciples: “Go out to the whole
world; proclaim the Good News to all creation”.
Because of all that has been happening in the Church
in recent years we can feel despondent about the future.
Today’s feast of joy and gladness is a call to
us to look up with confidence and know the power of
Christ for the world in which we live. In spite of the
sinfulness of his people, Christ is at work and can
overcome. Our task is to let the world know his love
and his salvation, not just by word but especially by
the way we live with joy and hope and love. Although
these qualities are best developed in our homes and
families, they need to be seen and experienced in our
faith community. This can only happen when we are all
taking our responsibility for the health and well-being
of our faith community and its future.

Renewal
Always we are
being called
From what we know
From all that we regard as safe as home
From all that binds
Ancient hillsides
To ancient minds
Always we are
being called
To abandon boats and nets
And Him to follow
On roads of buried landscapes
Paved with promise.
