Ascension Sunday!!!

Several provinces in the United States retained the holy day of Ascension on Thursday, while the other provinces transferred the feast to Sunday.  That rings true for us in the Diocese of Salina as we gather this weekend in our parishes to celebrate the Ascension of The Lord.  This is a solemnity that calls to mind our mission as disciples of Jesus.  The disciples went out to meet The Lord and has he blessed them he ascended into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of the Father.  The disciples still remained until the angel told them to go back into the city because Jesus will return.  We are witnesses of the resurrected and ascended Lord and we have work to do as we proclaim the Good News, not just with words, but with our lives!!!  Have a blessed Ascension and weekend!!!  Happy Mother's Day to all mothers!!!  God bless you all!!!!
