“And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” What
consoling words Jesus had for his disciples, even as he was about to bring
an end to his earthly ministry. He had spent some time with them after
his resurrection, but now his mission was complete and he was about to
return to be with his Father in heaven. Undoubtedly this must have been
a difficult moment for the disciples. But as if to reassure them, Jesus
gives this remarkable promise: that he will always be with them, even
when he is no longer physically present. We know, of course, that the
presence he is referring to comes through the gift of the Holy Spirit. And
what is most wonderful about this promise is that it also applies to us!
Jesus is with us always. His presence dwells in our hearts through the
sacrament of baptism in which we receive the real, indwelling gift of the
Holy Spirit in our hearts. We are not alone! The sometimes difficult jour-
ney of Christian life is not one we need to navigate solo. Christ himself
ascended into heaven so that he could make himself present in a more
universal and timeless way through his Spirit to all people who call
upon him. Thus we rejoice on this feast of the Ascension. It’s not so much
about Jesus leaving. Rather, it’s about him continuing his mission in a
new way, a way that includes us very directly.
So let us remember that Jesus is present with us, even when we cannot
see him next to us or hear his voice loud and clear. Let us call upon his
Holy Spirit when we need guidance, comfort, or direction. And today,
let us give thanks to God the Father for sending his Son to save us and for
giving us his Spirit to accompany us on our own journey of life.
