Sunday Gospel: Luke 24,46-53
Listen carefully to this Sunday Gospel: Luke 24, 46-53.
Let’s think about a time when we called upon another person
who they believed had more knowledge and/or power to help us.
Perhaps we have asked a parent to help resolve a conflict with a
sibling or asked a teacher for help us to resolve a classroom
matter.
As we mature, we are able to do many more things on our own.
But each of us, every now and then, requires a little extra
assistance from someone who has more knowledge and power
than we have. In some ways, we can think about the assistance
that we receive from Jesus in this way.
This is one of the things we remember as we celebrate the Feast of the
Ascension.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we hear the instructions that Jesus gave to his
disciples before he was taken up to heaven.
What instructions does Jesus give to his disciples?
– Preach repentance for the forgiveness of sins to all nations, be witnesses,
and remain in the city until they are clothed with power from on high.
What do you think Jesus was talking about when he told the disciples that they
would be clothed with power from on high?
– They will be filled with the Holy Spirit. With the Holy Spirit we certainly
have a very powerful ally in Jesus. If we ask the Holy Spirit, we will be
gracefully helped in following Jesus’ example.
