Reflection Corner
The Broadway musical, Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark, is filled with high-flying aerial stunts that astounded audiences when
they worked correctly. A significant part of the buzz surrounding the production, with its music by Bono and Edge, comes from
the fact that the spectacular aerial displays don't always work. Actors have ended up being suspended in midair while stage
crews hastened to untangle cables and pulleys. Sometimes, instead of Spiderman flying through the air with the greatest of
ease, he ends up hanging helplessly above the stage.
From Icarus to NASA, humankind has imagined ways of leaving the earth. Watching birds soar aloft has provoked our imaginations into thinking that we too could one day lift ourselves to the heavens. The Scriptures for the feast of the Ascension leave
us with the same vision as Jesus was lifted up in a cloud. Two men in white ask the apostles, "Men of Galilee, why are you
standing there looking at the sky?"
Why, indeed? Jesus is no superhero, despite having his own rock musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. Looking to the heavens is
not what this feast is about. As the Gospel for today reminds us, we are given a great commission: to make disciples of all nations, baptizing people and teaching them to observe what Jesus has commanded. We are not spectators like the audience at
a Broadway musical, looking up to see what might happen. We are, instead, actors, taking our roles in the great story of salvation history. The commission Jesus gives in the Gospel is not only addressed to the eleven disciples who gathered with him on
a mountain in Galilee. That commission is given to all of us, to go out into the world and to make disciples. Much of the language during this Easter season has an upward movement. Now Christ has commanded us to lift up others so they may be
raised to new life in him.
Pastoral Perspectives
What Did Jesus Actually Say? (part 1 of 2)
How would we know what his actual words were? There were no tape recorders or “stenographers” back then. This is a question
many people have struggled with, especially over the last few centuries. In fact, the Gospels were not written down for at least a
generation or so after Christ. Obviously, then, these sacred tests could not have been “transcribed” as by a court reporter.
In fact, as the Pontifical Biblical Commission pointed out over 40 years ago, our faith has come down to us through at least three
“stages”. The first stage was the life and teachings of Jesus, up
to and including his death and resurrection. This is the ultimate
Parish Office — 739-4157
Fax — 739-2795
basis of our faith. This first stage, the underpinning of all ChrisPastor
