REFLECTIONS FEET ON THE GROUND

Until next week, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars! Not today’s scriptural wisdom, but legendary DJ Casey Kasem’s sage advice, heard across America for generations, American Top 40’s challenging sign-off. Though Casey wasn’t quoting scripture, today’s Acts of the Apostles offers similar advice. As Jesus ascended, disciples were looking intently at the sky. Wouldn’t we prefer a soul-relaxing gaze into peaceful blue skies to a heart-breaking focus on this blood-stained earth? But heavenly questioners asked Jesus first disciples, Why are you standing there looking at the sky? Earth awaited their mission! While our hearts should keep reaching for heaven, we need to keep our feet on the ground. Ascension’s scriptures and the Jubilee of Mercy remind us: the Jesus we revere as ascended into heaven lives right here among us on earth, awaiting our recognition and loving service.

Treasures From Our Tradition

The mystery of the Ascension has to do with holding in tension a sense of God’s nearness, along with the burden caused by apparent signs of absence. The risen Jesus says to Mary Magdalene, Do not cling to me, perhaps pointing out to her that his physical presence to the disciples was time-bound and temporary. It was a gift for their transformation, and after forty days, he vanished from their sight and hearing, though never out of their con-sciousness. They do not mourn at his going this time: there is no trace of the disciples who hid in fear at his crucifixion, no sense of the women who wept softly as they carried ointments to the tomb through the dewy morning light. Instead, the scriptural accounts show them full of joy, comforted by his promise to be with them forever, and open to the Spirit’s power. They are joyful, energized, aware, and united with one another in love. They seem to grasp an awareness that if the mission to the whole world was a serious one, then the presence of the Risen Christ could not be pinned down to any one place or time, but had to be always and everywhere completely available. All peoples, all times, all cultures were opened to receive him in this moment of the Ascension. The energy of this feast is drawn not from absence, but renewed and deeper presence.

PIES EN EL PISO ¡Hasta a próxima semana, mantén tus pies en el suelo y sigue buscando las estrellas! Hoy no es la sabiduría bíblica, sino el sabio consejo del leg-endario DJ Casey Kasem, escuchado por generaciones a lo largo y ancho de Estados Unidos por generaciones, el desafiante cierre de los Top 40 de Estados Unidos. Aunque Casey no citaba las Escrituras, hoy los Hechos de los Apóstoles ofrecen un consejo parecido. Cuando Jesús ascendió, los discípulos miraban fijamente el cielo . ¿No preferiríamos una mirada rela-jante del alma en un cielo azul tran-quilo hasta un enfoque descorazona-dor en una tierra manchada de san-gre? Pero los interlocutores celestial-es preguntaron a los primeros discípulos, ¿por qué están parados ahí mirando el cielo? ¡La tierra espera su misión! Mientras nuestros cora-zones deben seguir buscando en el cielo , nosotros necesitamos manten-er nuestros pies en la tierra . Los pasajes de la Ascensión y el jubileo de la misericordia nos recuerdan, el Jesús que veneramos cuando as-cendió al cielo vive aquí mismo en medio de nosotros en la tierra, es-perando nuestro reconocimiento y servicio amoroso.
