Sunday 29 May 2022 – Ascension of the Lord

+ From the Gospel according to Luke (24,46-53)

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Thus it is written: Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and in his name conversion and the forgiveness of sins will be preached to all peoples, beginning with Jerusalem. You are witnesses of this. And behold, I am sending upon you whom my Father has promised; but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from above. ”
Then he led them out to Bethany and, raising his hands, blessed them. As he blessed them, he broke away from them and was carried up to heaven. And they bowed down before him; then they returned to Jerusalem with great joy and were always in the temple praising God.
