Mark 16:15-20
Today is our liturgical celebration of the Ascension of the Lord, when Jesus was taken to heaven on the fortieth day after Easter. In Cy-cle B, our Gospel is taken from the conclusion of the Gospel of Mark. Scholars have long noted some irregularities about the ending of Mark’s Gospel. There is a natural break in the story line at verse 8, when Mark’s report of the discovery of the empty tomb comes to an abrupt conclusion. This verse reports that the women were so frightened by what they had seen at the tomb that they told no one. This may be the original ending of Mark’s Gospel, but it is also possible that the more complete ending has been lost. Some manuscripts of Mark’s Gospel, written between the fourth and ninth centuries, include what scholars have termed the Shorter End-ing. This is often printed in our Bibles for reference. This ending indi-cates that the women told their story to Peter’s companions. Scholars believe that this ending is not original to Mark. They theorize that this ending was added by copyists who sought to resolve the original abrupt ending at verse 8. Other early manuscripts include a Longer Ending that scholars also believe was written by someone other than the Evangelist. Nonethe-less, quotations from this Longer Ending are found in the writings of the early Church Fathers, and it was accepted at the Council of Trent as part of the canonical Gospel of Mark. Our Gospel for today’s celebra-tion of the Feast of the Ascension is taken from this Longer Ending. There are similarities in the reports of Jesus’ Ascension found in the Synoptic Gospels—Mark, Matthew, and Luke. In each case, Jesus assigns his disciples the task of proclaiming the gospel message to the entire world. There are also notable distinctions. In the Gospels of Mark and Matthew, the disciples are sent by Jesus to baptize and to preach. In Luke’s Gospel, however, the commission to baptize is absent. Instead, Jesus directs the disciples to return to Jerusalem to await the fulfillment of his promise to send them the Holy Spirit. Curiously, only the Gospels of Mark and Luke actually report Jesus’ ascension into heaven. Mat-thew’s Gospel concludes with Jesus’ promise to remain with his disciples forever. Only the Gospel of Mark notes that Jesus ascended to sit at the right hand of God. In noting this, Mark teaches that Jesus’ ascension affirms the glory Jesus received from God after his death and Resurrec-tion. Even if this ending to Mark’s Gospel was written by someone other than the Evangelist, in the commission that Jesus gives to his disci-ples, there are elements that are quite typical of Mark’s Gospel. The signs that will accompany belief in Jesus are as vivid as the action per-formed by Jesus during his ministry. Those who believe in Jesus will be empowered to do what Jesus himself has done. During his ministry, Jesus sent his disciples to preach, to heal, and to drive out unclean spir-its. Now they are sent again to do these things and more. From his place with God in heaven, Jesus helped his disciples, and he continues to help us as we try to live as his followers. www.loyolapress.com

St. Isidore, Feast Day - May 15th
St. Isidore has become the pa-
tron of farmers and rural communities, in
particular, he is the patron of Madrid,
Spain, and of the United States National
Rural Life Conference.
When he was barely old enough
to wield a hoe, Isidore entered the service
of John de Vergas, a wealthy landowner
from Madrid, and worked faithfully on
his estate outside the city for the rest of his life. He married a
young woman as simple and upright as himself who also be-
came a saint - Maria de la Cabeza... He died May 15, 1130, and
was declared a saint in 1622, with Saints Ignatius of Loyola,
Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila, and Philip
Neri. Together, the group is known in Spain as “the five
saints.” franciscanmedia.org
— A HUGE “Gracias” to the Spanish
Community and everyone who came
to Cinco de Mayo and made it a
great success!
The event raised over $500 for the
Adorno Seminary in Ramsey, NJ.
Many thanks for all who came,
ate great food, and celebrated!
God bless you,
Fr. Ed and Fr. Ryan
