Using the Sunday Scriptures as the basis for reflection, Grow + Go offers insight into how we can all more fully Grow as disciples and then GO evangelize, fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19

Traditionally, the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord has been celebrated 40 days after Easter in keeping with the Scriptural reference in Acts: “He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3). Easter is a moveable feast, being celebrated on a different date in March or April every year. But 40 days after Easter will always be a Thursday. For pastoral reasons, the Solemnity of the Ascension, which joyfully celebrates the completion of Christ’s work of redemption, can be transferred to the Seventh Sunday of Easter.
