The Ascension of the Lord June 2, 2019

St. Luke gives us the surprising story of Ascension. This means the story of Jesus does not end with the empty tomb, or with the appearances to the Apostles over the course of forty days, but goes further. Jesus is the great high priest, and He has still to ascend to the heavenly Jerusalem, there to celebrate the feast in the true Holy of Holies. The truth of this feast of Ascension shines forth from the Letter to the Hebrews, where we read of the great high priest’s passing through the heavens, the sinless intercessor’s sacrifice on our behalf. The Ascension is the preliminary feast that directs the Church’s attention forward to Pentecost. To live the divine life God gives, we must receive the Holy Spirit. To receive the Holy Spirit we must be purified through Baptism. The Epistle this weekend strikes a distinctively Paschal note. In the early Church, as today, Easter was the normal time for the baptism of adult converts. The sacrament was often called “illumination” or “enlightenment” because of the light that came with God’s saving grace. St. Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, speaks in terms of glory that leads to greater glories still, as he looks to the divinization of the believers. The saints are adopted into God’s family and now rule with Him at the Father’s right hand. This is the “good news” the Apostles are commissioned to preach to the whole world, to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. It’s the good news that the Lord wants us to proclaim today and always, as the messianic people.

La Asención del Señor 2 Junio, 2019

San Lucas nos da la sorprendente historia de la Ascensión. Esto significa que la historia de Jesús no termina con el sepulcro vacío, ni con las apariciones de los Apóstoles en el transcurso de 40 días, sino que va más allá. Jesús es el gran sumo sacerdote, y todavía tiene que ascender a la Jerusalén celestial, allí para celebrar la fiesta en el verdadero Santo de los Santos. La verdad de esta fiesta de la Ascensión resplandece de la Carta a los Hebreos, donde leemos que el gran sumo sacerdote pasa por los cielos, el sacrificio del intercesor sin pecado en nuestro nombre. La Ascensión es la fiesta preliminar que dirige la atención de la Iglesia hacia Pentecostés. Para vivir la vida divina que Dios da, debemos recibir el Espíritu Santo. Para recibir el Espíritu Santo debemos ser purificados por medio del Bautismo. La Epístola de este fin de semana tiene una nota Paschal distintiva. En la Iglesia primitiva, como hoy, la Pascua era el tiempo normal para el bautismo de los conversos adultos. La Santa Cena a menudo se llamaba "iluminación" o "iluminación" debido a la luz que venía con la gracia salvadora de Dios. San Pablo, en su carta a los Efesios, habla en términos de gloria que conduce a mayores glorias aún, mientras mira a la divinización de los creyentes. Los santos son adoptados en la familia de Dios y ahora gobiernan con Él a la mano derecha del Padre. Esta es la "buena noticia" que los Apóstoles son comisionados para predicar a todo el mundo, a todas las naciones, comenzando desde Jerusalén. Es la buena noticia que el Señor quiere que proclamemos hoy y siempre, como el pueblo mesiánico.
