Thought for the Week
Ascension and Pentecost, which complete the mystery of Easter, speak of absence and presence. In his earthly life Jesus was present in a particular place (Galilee) at a particular time (1st century). Following his death and resurrection, Jesus is no longer physically present to his disciples. However through the sending of his Holy Spirit (Pentecost) he is now able to be present to people of faith in all places and for all generations. Our task is to be open to receiving his Spirit, so that we can witness with our lives to his life giving presence in the world. ‘You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and then you will be my witnesses…indeed to the ends of the earth’.
Congratulations to the pupils from Ranelagh Multi-Denominational School, who will celebrate the Sacrament of First Eucharist this Sunday at 11am Mass!
