I wouldn't have done well at the Ascension. Sure, I'd have followed Jesus and
listened intently. But instead of bowing in homage, I would have waved my
hand urgently, asking, "What do you mean'it is not for you to know the
times or seasons that the Father has established?' I really need to know
when the Spirit will be sent. I have a very busy schedule, so a more specific
time would be particularly helpful, Jesus, sir." I can imagine Jesus simply
shaking his head, unsure of what to do with this partic-latlr-chalAngingfollower.
For those of us who like to plan and schedule our lives in precise detail, the
Ascension presents some challenges. He promises the Spirit will come-buthe doesn't say when, how, or what that will mean. lt's an in-between space,
and l'm not a big fan of those.
We often have these in-between moments-waiting for a diagnosis, looking
for a new job, seeking healing in a relationship. They don't fit into our
calendars, and we can't predict exactly when the hoped-for result will come.
But we're asked, as were the disciples, to trust that even if it feels as though
he's absent, Jesus is with us-and he does fulfill his promises. He sent the
Spirit as promised, and he promises us life in abundance.
Luke's Gospel reports that the disciples returned from the Ascension "withgreat joy" as they awaited the Spirit. lnstead of feeling anxious in our own in
between moments, can we learn from the disciples'? Can we live with joy as
we put our fulltrust in Jesus?Janel Esker sundaybulletin @ li guori.org

Both marxyrs and people who commit suicide willingly sacrfrce
tLrcir liues, so haw are tltey dfferent?
If I deliberately put lnyself in a probable position to be killed-et)enfor a wortLty 6s115s-i5n'1 tLwt still aform of suicide?
Life is a gift from God. While both martyrdom andsuicide contradict the natural human disposition topreserve and perpetuate life, the former is a totally self-grving act; the latter, a selGinflicted one.
The early Church believed that martyrs went directly toheaven because their sacrifice of life was the ultimateChrist-like expression. Their courageous endurance ofindignities and tortures-their heroic willingness to die indefense of the faith or to save another's life-demonstrates a supreme love of God and neighbor overlove for life itself (see Catechism of the CatLnlic Church,
2473).Those who take their own lives to end personal sufferingmake a decision that belongs to God alone. It's an actionthart ctn revolve totally around the "self" often with littlethought glven to its consequences.
Nevertheless, our compassionate God fully knows theintensity of suffering that triggers suicide and "clflprovide the opportunity for salutary repentance" (2283).
