TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN. The feast of the Ascension assures us that the
risen Jesus, who was taken up to heaven, is still very close to us. We are
called to recognize the signs of his presence in the goodness, love and
forgiveness of the community, in the healing of souls and bodies and in
the great and small miracles of life. The ascended Jesus is not an absent
Jesus. The challenge for us is: “How can we be followers of Jesus in our
world today?”
