The Solemnity of the Lord's Ascension (A)



Readings: Acts 1: 1-11; Ephesians 1: 17-23; Matthew 28: 16-20

Text: "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." (Matthew 28: 18b-20)

Meditation: Jesus’ mandate is make disciples of all nations… And have no fear, because He assured us of his presence in us until the age of time.  We reach out to our Ascended Lord by ‘lifting up our hearts to God.’   We lift up our hearts to God  in prayer, in our mission, and in our everyday life.


DHIKR SIMPLE METHOD
