June 6, 2019 - When our Lord Jesus Christ Ascended into Heaven, He comforted His disciples with the promise that He would send the Holy Spirit. We, just as the disciples, are a people of that same promise. In this reflection on the Ascension we remember that just as we are promised the Holy Spirit and given the Holy Spirit at our Baptism, we also in response to such love promise ourselves by offering ourselves to God. As God offers Himself to us and we offer ourselves back to God, there we experience the fullness of the gift we have been given and there is the experience of the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
