Gospel text (Mk 16,15-20):
After he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents with their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

Today, the evangelist St. Mark narrates the Ascension of Jesus Christ. The Lord occupies now his rightful place in heaven: he is seated at the Right Hand of God the Father. It is a way of saying that Jesus receives the congratulations and the gratitude of all those who are there: God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, Saint Joseph, all the angels (billions) and the saints.
- Someday we will also go there. Meanwhile, Jesus asks us to go to the whole world to proclaim Salvation to all humanity.
