Our reflection from the Gospel this week is:

“And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

Sunday’s Gospel tells us of the Ascension of Jesus into heaven and begins a new chapter for the disciples. While it was the end of Jesus’ physical presence, the Ascension marked the beginning of Jesus’ presence with them in a new way. That same presence is in us through the Holy Spirit. 

We pray together: St. Jude, may the Holy Spirit live in me so that I may live a life of praise and thanksgiving.
