The Ascension is a moment when the first disciples of Jesus are faced with the reality that God has entrusted the ministry begun in Jesus to them. No doubt they find themselves, just as we do, asking the question, 'What do we do now?' What do we do now? We continue to gather. We gather so that we are transformed by Word and Sacrament. We gather so that we have the power to be sent into the world to be the body of Christ.
