Breaking Open the Word May 16, 2021 Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord Lectionary: 58 Gospel Mk 16:15-20

Spiritual Reflection: Christ is already in that place of peace, which is all in all. He is on the right hand of God. He is hidden in the brightness of the radiance which issues from the everlasting throne. He is in the very abyss of peace, where there is no voice of tumult or distress, but a deep stillness—stillness, that greatest and most awful of all goods which we can fancy; that most perfect of joys, the utter profound, ineffable tranquility of the Divine Essence. He has entered into His rest. That is our home; here we are on a pilgrimage, and Christ calls us to His many mansions which He has prepared. - John Henry Newman

Spiritual Questions: 1. When you visit another person’s house, how do you act? 2. How are you preparing to go to heaven? 3. What spiritual baggage do you need to get rid of? 4. What spiritual baggage do you need to keep? 5. What spiritual baggage would Christ tell you to get rid of?
