The Great Reminder

Friends, in today's podcast we give Jesus the title of The Great Remainder. It is the Ascension of our Blessed Lord which represents a testing of our faith. Jesus is going but remaining. We read in the Gospel of Matthew that the Apostles doubted. We all have doubts and Jesus knows this all too well but we persevere, we have faith, that the words spoken by Jesus are all true. He commissions the Apostles to "Go" but it was literally spoken as, "Go, therefore..." In other words, the "therefore" gives it purpose as it is a response to what has happened in the past. We, therefore, have as our purpose in word and deed the sharing of the incredible good news of the Gospel.
