Today we celebrate the joy of the Ascension of the Lord.
 Jesus Christ departed the earth and he sent apostles and, after them, us to go and proclaim the Gospel to all people on the earth. Over the twenty centuries the Church grew in number and widened the territory of goodness in the world. Today our Church has the same mission to live more deeply by the Gospel and proclaim it making the new disciples for Christ. Today the success of this mission is up to us.
The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, is the anamnesis – Reminder and Participation in the Ascension of the Lord. We remember this event and at the same time we participate in it. Therefore the message of our Master Jesus Christ is in force to us today too. We are the Disciples of Christ and we have to live in the communion with Jesus in his Church and proclaim His message to all people on the world.

Reflection:
Jesus came to the world from God and he returned to God in glory after his death and resurrection. The Cross is a proof of the victory of goodness over evil, for after the Cross is the resurrection. The Cross is then the gateway to glory. Contemplate the cross in your life, and how it would glorify the name of God?
