Matthew 28:16-20
And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And seeing him they adored: but some doubted. And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
Before ascending into heaven, Jesus commissions His disciples to make disciples of all nations. This mission remains the heart of the Church today. Every Christian is called to share the Good News through both words and actions. The Ascension reminds us that Christ entrusts His work to ordinary people empowered by His grace. We are never alone in this mission because He promises to remain with us always. Through faithful witness, we help others encounter the saving love of God.
