Ascension of the Lord
The Ascension marks the end of Christ’s earthly mission and his glorious return to the Father.
Jesus says “Go make disciples of all nations”.
He called the apostles and he calls us to make the love of the Father known through joyful and selfless lives in the service of others.

Joke
“Each evening birdlover Tom stood in his backyard, hooting like an owl – and one night, an owl called back to him.
For a year, the man and his feathered friend hooted back and forth.
He even kept a log of the “conversation.”
Just as he thought he was on the verge of a breakthrough in interspecies communication, his wife had a chat with her next door neighbour.
“My husband spends his nights.. calling out to owls,” she said.
“That’s odd,” the neighbour replied. “So does my husband.”
Then it dawned on them.
