[Ascension, Year B, May 17, 2015 / Acts 1:1-11/ Ps 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9 / Eph1:17-28 Mark 16:15-20]

TODAY is Ascension Sunday. Jesus ascends to heaven “to take his place at the right hand of God.” How lucky we are to have a friend in high places! Often when you need something done it helps to have a friend in high places. They can assist you, open doors for you, make the way ahead easier. The disciples are so impressed at seeing the Lord ascending into heaven that they stood still, looking up into the sky. Two men in white (angels in disguise!) ask them, “Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking up into the sky?” It is a reminder not to be daydreaming for there is some serious work to be done.
