THE TIDINGS THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD:YEARB 17th May 2015 INTRODUCTION PARISH OF MELTON SERVING THE AREAS OF: Melton, Melton North, Melton West, Kurunjang, Plumpton, Rockbank & Toolern Vale 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?” PARISH PRIEST: Fr.
