Feast of the Ascension of the Lord and Sacrament of Confirmation

Luke decribes the ascension of Jesus in two very different ways- in today's gospel bystanders are simply dumbfounded and unable to do anything but stare, while in the Acts, the observers are ready to go and evangelize, acting out their belief in Christ.  How do we resond?  Are we ready to feed on the joy of the Risen Presence?

Today, we also celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation for Davide Candes, MinHee Chung, Katherine Kane, Jorge Pleins, Ben Scheve and Maddie Wachhorst.

Preacher: Fr. Xavier Lavagetto, OP, Pastor/Director of the Catholic Community at Stanford
