Today, we celebrate the great feast of the Ascension—Jesus’ return to the Father after completing His earthly mission. It is a moment filled with awe and mystery, but also with challenge and commissioning. The Ascension is not a farewell; it is an invitation to deeper faith, bolder witness, and wholehearted discipleship. This Sunday's liturgical readings invite us to enter deeper into the mystery of Christ's ascension into heaven. A Christian with enlightened eyes sees the world with hope, lives without fear, and embraces every task as sacred. Christ’s Lordship over all things gives meaning to our life of hope.
