Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 17:11b-19. Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed: "Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth." May the Lord’s healing and life-giving touch be upon those whose cross is too heavy to bear. Amen.

Vivid accounts of his tenderness for "the least of these" - the elderly, the imprisoned, those with disfiguring disabilities, the unborn, and many more - seize our attention. Why? At the heart of each of these interactions is a truth which resonates in our hearts, revealing to us something essential to understanding ourselves and our purpose.

DeNeve Adult Faith Formation Coordinator, Diocese of Honolulu For most of us, the Ascension only means that Jesus no longer physically appears to people. However, there is much meaning deeper than this. The Ascension marks the in-between times in our lives, the times when we know and can feel something new and good happening, but it has not fully blossomed yet. Like the butterfly emerging from the cocoon, new life exists, but it still needs time and struggle. Cut the butterfly free from its cocoon and it will actually die. “In-between” time is critical for new life to flourish. We are in the in-between time of the Ascension when we graduate from school. We are in the Ascension when we pack and move. We ascend those first few weeks with a new baby (or even a new puppy!). When we finish chemo treatment. And so forth. During Ascension-time, we know deep in our bones that everything will turn out okay, even though we don’t know exactly what is happening or what life will soon be like. We need Ascension time before we can flourish under Pentecost.
