THE GREAT COMMISSION AND PROMISE OF CHRIST: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD, CYCLE A, 2023
The greatest commission and promise of Christ to all of us is: “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, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” The Feast of Ascension marks the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry and the beginning of the apostles witnessing the gospel.
