Tlapak May 17, 2015 Ascension of the Lord Gospel Reflection May 17, 2015 Ascension of the Lord Acts 1:1–11; Ps 47:2–3, 6–7, 8–9 Eph 1:17–23 or 4:1–13 or 4:1–7, 11–13; Mk 16:15–20 Luke begins his second volume, Acts of the Apostles, by narrating Jesus’s ascension. His first book was concerned with “all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up”. Now he begins the story of Jesus’s disciples continuing the mission. Before his ascension, Jesus had promised them that they “will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you”; empowered by the Spirit, they are to be “witnesses in Jerusalem … and to the ends of the earth”. Their mission is our mission too, for we share in the same Spirit. Writing to the Ephesians, Paul prays “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ … may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation”. Christ Jesus, who was raised from the dead, sits at God’s “right hand in the heavens”. And he has dominion over all creation, even the heavenly beings, “above every principality, authority, power, and dominion”. Here Paul starts to develop his image of the church as Christ’s body. He will develop this idea further, reminding us that we who share the one bread are called to become one body. Today’s Gospel text, though accepted as inspired and canonical, is not found in some of the oldest manuscripts of Mark; some ancient manuscripts of Mark omit any mention of the risen Christ and his ascension. But without these events the story of Jesus is incomplete. In today’s text Jesus commissions his disciples to “go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature”. Then he “was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God”. The disciples follow Jesus’s command to go forth preaching the word, “while the Lord worked with them”. For Reflection: In what way can I witness to the gospel in my everyday life? How effective do I think the gospel would be without the resurrection?

Contact Tomas Jaimes for more information or to sign up for a time 219-765-0685 or [email protected] A special thanks to Maureen Steinberg who chaired our bowling league again this year. Because of her willingness to serve, many people enjoyed an evening of bowling every other Sunday evening. The league was unique because it consisted of members of Holy Name and Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church in St John. It’s was a non-sanctioned league just for fun. This year, Team Leftovers, consisting of Bob and Maureen Steinberg and Phil and Roberta Allan took first place. We are looking now for more teams to join us for next year. Each team will consist of 4 bowlers. This league will bowl every other Sunday at 4:50 p.m. from mid -September through April. If you cannot bowl on the appointed evening, you can either have a substitute bowl for you or you can "bowl out" any time before the next game. If you are interested please call Maureen Steinberg at 374-6634 or email at [email protected] Do you have a relative of Holy Name graduating from Junior High, High School or College?
