SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD

What goes up also comes down

Whether your church community celebrates the

Ascension of Jesus today or did so last Thursday, it’s

tempting to think of only half of the meaning of the

event, the part about Jesus being exalted to God’s

right hand where he exercises dominion over

everything in heaven and on earth. The Ascension

also celebrates what comes from God, especially the

Spirit Jesus promises before he was lifted up, and

the command he gives to make disciples. So we

shouldn’t be left, as the disciples were in the story

of the Ascension, merely staring up toward heaven.

We have work to do on earth, the Spirit to

mailto:[email protected]


strengthen and empower us while we do it, and the

return of the Lord to look for when it’s all over.

TODAY’S READINGS: Acts 1:1-11; Ephesians 1:17-

23; Matthew 28:16-20 (58).

“Why do you stand looking up toward heaven?”

MONDAY, MAY 29

EASTER WEEKDAY

Hang in there

So many times in the gospels the disciples fail to

understand or believe in Jesus fully that when they

finally come out with an unqualified statement of

faith, you would think Jesus would be more

approving. But instead he counters with a promise

that the road ahead will get tougher, not easier,

because of their willingness to follow him. His final

assurance, though, is that in the end they will return

to him, overcome all obstacles, and have peace.

Persevering leads to life forever with Christ.

TODAY’S READINGS: Acts 19:1-8; John 16:29-33

(297). “In the world you will have trouble, but take

courage, I have conquered the world.”

TUESDAY, MAY 30

EASTER WEEKDAY

Get the job done

The approaching Pentecost is a good time to reflect

on Jesus’ journey on earth as well as our own. It is a

time to think about what we’ve accomplished and

reflect on what we will be leaving others after we’re

gone. Jesus was confident that he had finished the

work he was commissioned to do. Can each of us

say the same? What will your legacy be? In what

ways have you glorified God during your tenure on

earth? Take into account family, community, church,

and the world. Are you satisfied with the part

you’ve played in bringing God’s message of hope

and love to the least of your brothers and sisters?

There’s still time. There is this moment, and the

next, and the next . . .

TODAY’S READINGS: Acts 20:17-27; John 17:1-11a

(298). “I glorified you on earth by finishing the

work that you gave me to do.”

WEDNESDAY, MAY 31

FEAST OF THE VISITATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN

MARY

Need a lift?

In the presence of such good news and so great a

mystery as Jesus and his gospel, how, as the hymn

goes, can we keep from singing? The meeting of

Mary, pregnant with Jesus, and Elizabeth, who is

expecting John the Baptist, gives birth to Mary’s

great song of praise to God, who has done such

great things for her and her people: casting down

the proud and mighty, lifting up the lowly, feeding

the hungry, and showing mercy. When has God

lifted you up? What do you have to sing about?

TODAY’S READINGS: Zephaniah 3:14-18a or

Romans 12:9-16; Luke 1:39-56 (572). “Sing aloud,

O daughter Zion . . . . Rejoice and exult with all

your heart, O daughter Jerusalem!”


THURSDAY, JUNE 1

MEMORIAL OF JUSTIN, MARTYR

Will you testify?

Jesus said there is no greater love than to lay down

your life for your friends. In the early church, plenty

of Christians did just that for the sake of the gospel.

Their willingness to die led many who dismissed

Christianity to look again. New friends in Christ

were born from their courage. So the martyr called

Justin came to faith in the second century. A

professional philosopher, he was swayed by the

“only safe and worthy philosophy” for which

people around him were willing to die. As a church

apologist, his own life was soon poured out for the

sake of the gospel. How can you witness to your

faith today?

TODAY’S READINGS: Acts 22:30; 23:6-11; John

17:20-26 (300). “I pray not only for these, but also

for those who will believe in me through their

word.”

FRIDAY, JUNE 2

MEMORIAL OF MARCELLINUS AND PETER, MARTYRS

Love your life away

It’s a bit jarring for Catholics to think of Rome, the

center of the church, as a hostile place, but it was for

many early Christians, such as Marcellinus and

Peter, who died in the persecutions perpetrated by

Roman emperors. We may have few details of their

lives, but we do know the church has always

venerated them, and so we remember them, too, as

some of the first witnesses to the Christian faith.

They testify both to the ancient roots of our faith

and to its unbroken tradition. They stand as people

who gave themselves entirely to God. You, too, can

do the same. Practice turning over your heart to God

and you will find yourself not far from God’s realm.

TODAY’S READINGS: Acts 25:13b-21; John 21:15-

19 (301). “Lord, you know everything; you know

that I love you.”

SATURDAY, JUNE 3

MEMORIAL OF CHARLES LWANGA AND COMPANIONS

Be steadfast

People in power have been known to overstep their

bounds and ask for more than is their rightful due.

Such demands rarely turn out well—at least in the

short run—for anyone who refuses the unfair

request. Case in point: Charles Lwanga and

hundreds of other Ugandan teens who were tortured

and executed in the 19th century after their chieftain

grew jealous of their devotion to Christianity and

ordered them to denounce their faith. As the young

men burned in a massive pyre, their torturers were

assured of their victims’ deaths only when the

martyrs stopped praying. Pray for the spiritual gifts

of fortitude and piety when you are asked to do

something that violates your deepest faith.

TODAY’S READINGS: Acts 28:16-20, 30-31;

John 21:20-25 (302). “There are also many other

things that Jesus did.”
