“GO, therefore, and
MAKE
DISCIPLES of all nations…”
www.presentationofmary.org May 24, 2020 | The Ascension of the Lord
We celebrate Ascension Sunday this weekend, normally
held on the Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter. This day
is often times confused with the Assumption, where our
Blessed Mother’s body and soul is taken into heaven by her
Son, thus “assumed”. However, on the Ascension, as Jesus
is God, we see that he goes up or “ascends” by his own
power into his Father’s Kingdom, not relying on another.
Thus, the importance of understanding the distinction
between those two words.
Silly how we rejoice that Jesus goes to heaven, don’t you
think? Wouldn’t it have been better that he just stayed here
with us instead, to continue to walk among us teaching and
touching us with his own voice and hands?
Yes, that would’ve been great, but then it’d be hard for us
to really have faith in the words that he shared with us and
also imparts on us as he prepares to go back. Remember
how he tells us that he has to go ahead of us to prepare a
place for us in his Father’s home? And that unless he goes,
the Advocate (Holy Spirit) will not come? So it was
necessary that he go, so that we would believe in all the
things he said. It should also remind us of the trust he has
placed on us to continue to follow his words and example:
“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.”
What great trust he has in us to continue to follow him,
while not being able to physically see him in our midst.
If you missed my letter earlier this week sent by email, I
want to share with you some important transitions taking
place this summer as well.
As the school year comes to a close on May 29, our dear Co
-Principals, Mary Kane and Gary Faust, will also be
preparing to take their leave. I thank God for their
leadership and the support our staff, children and families
received through them as we navigated through this
pandemic these last couple of months. They have been
such a great blessing to our community and to myself. A
new principal has been named and will continue to lead our
school and families in excellence.
Lastly, I also mentioned earlier
this week that I have been
appointed as Pastor of our parish
and Canonical Administrator to
our school, effective July 1. Come
rain or shine, we’ll continue our
journey following Christ together!
Mutual prayers!
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray
for us!
