a privilege of the baptized, which is why any catechumens Jn 17:20-26

The Significance Of The Ascension
The theological unity, or perhaps even the temporal
experience of the early community, made it seem that
Jesus’ resurrection and his ascension were inseparable
aspects of a single mystery. Only in the later writings of
Luke and John has further theological reflection helped
the Christian community to distinguish different
dimensions of the mystery. Liturgical tradition has
followed the forty-day chronology formulated by Luke.
Today’s Readings
We would miss the point, however, if we were to demand First Reading — This Jesus will return in the same way

—Mark 16:16
Treasures From Our Tradition
Today’s celebration varies from place to place. In some parts of the United States, people gather for the Seventh Sunday
of Easter, while other places celebrate the Ascension of the Lord. Several years ago, regions of bishops were permitted
to decide whether to retain Ascension Day on Thursday, the fortieth day after Easter, or to move the celebration to the
nearest Sunday. This new flexibility in the Christian calendar has to do with the desire to gather the Church to celebrate
its central feasts fully, and with the Eucharist. Increasingly, as priests serve remote and scattered parishes, this is not
always possible mid-week.
The Ascension is a key moment for grasping what life in Christ is all about. It is not about a departure, but rather a plan
for presence. We who are nourished by the Lord’s body and blood in the Eucharist are transformed to be his abiding
presence in the world. That is a truth so worth celebrating that we can adjust our calendar in order that the fullest
possible gathering of the Church can be achieved.
