MAY 17, 2026 – THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD

+ From the Gospel according to Matthew (28:16-20)

The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
When they saw him, they worshiped him. But they doubted. Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the close of the age.”
