Key Texts: Acts 1:1-11 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” Just before His ascension to heaven, Jesus said something hugely important – not only for those first followers of years ago – but for us today: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you….” What God accomplishes He does according to His divine timing – not the schedule we mere humans try to set. We can hover over our smartphones, calendars, spreadsheets, personal organizers, and strategic plans all we want – and those things do have some value. But when it comes to being a part of what God is doing in the greatest sense, and at the deepest level, we must remember that His timing – and not ours – is the key to it all. Does it mean we are to take no initiative – just waiting on a hillside somewhere, dressed in white robes, waiting for Jesus to return and take us all home to our “mansions in our sky”? No I think we have some important kingdom work to do in the meantime and that takes initiative and a willingness to act – strategic plans and all. I am simply saying that we must always remain attuned, as best we can, to the guiding influence of the Holy Spirit along the way. Then and only then can we do what God intends. Don’t throw away your personal organizers and schedules. Don’t declare that your iPhone is a thing of the devil (though sometimes I swear mine might be). Do pray, and search the scriptures, and wait, and listen. The Spirit, like the wind, blows where and when the Spirit will and according to God the Father’s timing the kingdom will come.

UZAŠAŠĆE GOSPODINOVO – SPASOVO (C) – misna čitanja Prvo čitanje: Dj 1, 1-11 Početak Djela apostolskih Prvu sam knjigu, Teofile, sastavio o svemu što je Isus činio i učio do dana kad je uznesen pošto je dao upute apostolima koje je izabrao po Duhu Svetome. Njima je poslije svoje muke mnogim dokazima pokazao da je živ, četrdeset im se dana ukazivao i govorio o kraljevstvu Božjem. I dok je jednom s njima blagovao, zapovjedi im da ne napuštaju Jeruzalema, nego neka čekaju obećanje Očevo »koje čuste od mene: Ivan je krstio vodom, a vi ćete naskoro nakon ovih dana biti kršteni Duhom Svetim«. Nato ga sabrani upitaše: »Gospodine, hoćeš li u ovo vrijeme Izraelu opet uspostaviti kraljevstvo?« On im odgovori: »Nije vaše znati vremena i zgode koje je Otac podredio svojoj vlasti. Nego primit ćete snagu Duha Svetoga koji će sići na vas i bit ćete mi svjedoci u Jeruzalemu, po svoj Judeji i Samariji i sve do kraja zemlje.« Kada to reče, bî uzdignut njima naočigled i oblak ga ote njihovim očima. I dok su netremice gledali kako on odlazi na nebo, gle, dva čovjeka stadoše kraj njih u bijeloj odjeći i rekoše im: »Galilejci, što stojite i gledate u nebo? Ovaj Isus koji je od vas uznesen na nebo isto će tako doći kao što ste vidjeli da odlazi na nebo.« Otpjevni psalam: 47, 2-3.6-9 Pripjev: Uzlazi Bog uz klicanje, Gospodin uza zvuke trublje! Narodi svi, plješćite rukama, kličite Bogu glasom radosnim. Jer Gospodin je to – svevišnji, strašan, kralj velik nad zemljom svom. Uzlazi Bog uz klicanje, Gospodin uza zvuke trublje. Pjevajte Bogu, pjevajte, pjevajte kralju našemu, pjevajte! Jer on je kralj nad zemljom svom, pjevajte Bogu, pjevači vrsni! Bog kraljuje nad narodima, stoluje Bog na svetom prijestolju. Drugo čitanje: Ef 1, 17-23 Čitanje Poslanice svetoga Pavla apostola Efežanima ona je primjerena djelotvornosti sile i snage njegove koju na djelu pokaza u Kristu, kad ga uskrisi od mrtvih i posjede sebi zdesna na nebesima iznad svakog vrhovništva i vlasti i moći i gospodstva i svakog imena imenovana ne samo na ovom svijetu nego i u budućemu. Sve mu podloži pod noge, a njega postavi – nad svime – glavom Crkvi, koja je tijelo njegovo, punina Onoga koji sve u svima ispunja. Riječ Gospodnja Evanđelje: Lk 24, 46-53 Svršetak svetog Evanđelja po Luki U ono vrijeme: Reče Isus svojim učenicima: »Ovako je pisano: ’Krist će trpjeti i treći dan ustati od mrtvih, i u njegovo će se ime propovijedati obraćenje i otpuštenje grijeha po svim narodima počevši od Jeruzalema.’ Vi ste tomu svjedoci. I evo, ja šaljem na vas obećanje Oca svojega. Ostanite zato u gradu dok se ne obučete u silu odozgor.« Zatim ih izvede do Betanije, podiže ruke pa ih blagoslovi. I dok ih blagoslivljaše, rasta se od njih i uznesen bî na nebo. Oni mu se ničice poklone pa se s velikom radosti vrate u Jeruzalem te sve vrijeme u Hramu blagoslivljahu Boga. Riječ Gospodnja.
