purpose is to express God’s grace by offering

Christian Love and Service to each other and to

everyone we meet. We reach out to the world in

Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord

7th Sunday of Easter

May 28, 2017

Here we are, about to close out the Easter season.

Pentecost is around the corner. When I was a kid, the end

of the Easter season occurred when all the chocolate Easter

bunnies and marshmallow pips were eaten. Of course, the

concept of the Holy Spirit and His coming to the Apostles was

a difficult one for a kid. That this would mark the end of the

Easter season was not something that I understood.

Although much of this is still a bit of a mystery, I can

certainly understand Christ's message and rejoice as we do in

the Psalms; "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom

shall I fear? The LORD is my life's refuge; of whom should I

be afraid?"

This is of course the central message of this week's

Gospel. We hear that the Son is one with the Father and the

Father is one with the Son. And of course, the most beautiful

part of that message; "… just as you gave him authority over

all people, so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave

him." Absolutely humbling. Not just life, but eternal life. Am

I worthy of this? He paid the price for my many sins, and if I

believe, I am rewarded with eternal life. Why? Some of it is

still a bit of a mystery. But I do believe. And with eternal life

as the reward, it is still a mystery to me that some do not.

Your brother in Christ,

Jeff Altig
