A Reflection from
Fr Greg Moses

Big Feast for Jesus,
and also for us!
"

This is a big feast for Jesus, the culmination of the Easter Season, of the Easter proclamation and the Easter joy. And we do well to sing great Jesus hymns and praise him to the skies. But it is also worth meditating on the implications it might have for us and for our world.
That's a very interesting message of the two angels, which in context of Jesus' earlier instructions reads something like: why are you guys standing there looking up at the sky? The second coming will take care of itself in its own good time. Get back to Jerusalem, get the Spirit and get to work!"

The Feast of the Ascension is about a Departure first of all I think, a signing-off so to speak. We know about departures, the little ones and the big ones. We've had some of
those big ones lately, too many maybe of some dear people in Herberton and Malanda and previously in Atherton and Yungaburra. The experience the early disciples had of Jesus also included a real experience of Departure I think, even if a bit different. From this time on, he was somehow or other no longer with them in the body. Not the same as death, but a real departure none the less and experienced as such. This was something the disciples regretted and maybe even were saddened by, looking up at the sky, wanting Jesus to come back again, wanting that presence they had only just gotten used to again but now he's gone.

On the other hand, as Jesus says in John's gospel, it is actually better for us that he should go. As they soon experienced for themselves, his departure actually brought about or at least made possible a kind of universalization of his presence and this in two ways.
