“Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.”

 The feast today, the Ascension, commemorates absence and then sends us to find Jesus present everywhere among us.  The Mass gives us the ways Jesus is present – in the community, the scripture, and the bread and wine. He is really present where two or more gather in his name; where the word is spoken and when the bread and wine are consecrated into his body and blood.  This presence, the closeness of the risen Lord to us, continues from the church and sacraments into daily life. Mostly in the ordinary – in the daily and common life and relationships of the community. Where we truly try to live in love in the different situations and relationships of life, there God is present. So when we are asked as a community at the end of mass to “Go in peace to love and serve the Lord” we leave missioned as a community who have been with him, heard his message, to spread that love, that joy, that spirit, that Good News to all whom we meet.
