The Ascension of the Lord
"And behold, I am with you always, until the end
of the age." What consoling words Jesus had for
his disciples, even as he was about to bring an
end to his earthly ministry. He had spent some
time with them after his resurrection, but now his
mission was complete and he was about to return
to be with his Father in heaven.
Undoubtedly this must have been a difficult mo-
ment for the disciples. But as if to reassure them,
Jesus gives this remarkable promise: that he will
ALWAYS be with them, even when he is no long-
er physically present. We know, of course, that
the presence he is referring to comes through the
gift of the Holy Spirit. And what is most wonderful
about this promise is that it also applies to us!
Jesus is with US always. His presence dwells in
our hearts through the sacrament of baptism in
which we receive the real, indwelling gift of the
Holy Spirit in our hearts. We are not alone! The
sometimes difficult jour-ney of Christian life is not
one we need to navigate solo. Christ himself as-
cended into heaven so that he could make him-
self present in a more universal and timeless way
through his Spirit to all people who call upon him.
Thus we rejoice on this feast of the Ascension.
It's not so much about Jesus leaving. Rather, it's
about him continuing his mission in a new way, a
way that includes us very directly.
So let us remember that Jesus is present with us,
even when we cannot see him next to us or hear
his voice loud and clear. Let us call upon his Holy
Spirit when we need guidance, comfort, or direc-
tion. And today, let us give thanks to God the Fa-
ther for sending his Son to save us and for giving
us his Spirit to accompany us on our own journey
of life.

PRESIDENT WELCOMED BY POPE: Pope Francis received President Michael D. Higgins at the Vatican on Monday and a possible papal visit to Northern Ireland was discussed
briefly during the meeting. The 15-minute private audience was held in the Papal Library and, according to the Vatican’s press office, “several themes of mutual interest” were discussed. These included the protection of the rights of humanity at every stage and condition of life, migration and the welcoming of refugees, safeguarding the environment, and sustainable development The President’s meeting with the Pontiff comes just over a year ahead of Pope Francis’ expected visit to Ireland in August 2018 for the World Meeting of Families. After his Vatican meeting, President Higgins told the media, including RTÉ, that “There is agreement that circumstances have changed and that there is a better prospect and more scope” for a visit to Northern Ireland.
