Season of Easter and Ascension of the Lord

This coming Sunday is the Feast of The Ascension of the Lord. The Gospel Reading is 
our focus scripture from 2019 (Matthew 28:16-20) where Jesus charges his disciples to make disciples of all nations and promises to be with them forever. As Jesus sent his disciples out into the world to make more disciples, we too are being called to bear witness to a life of discipleship. Being a witness and sharing God’s love can take many forms. The first is connected to our focus for 2020, to Be God’s Love. This witness is only the beginning; our love must extend beyond the family, reaching out to others and to the world.

As a family this week you are invited to identify one or more ways in which your family is a witness of God’s love. Together discuss how you could work together to do a better job of being God’s love to others. Make a family plan for one of those ways and work together to make it happen. 

If you would like to share your family’s plan to contribute to a special St Joseph’s project please email it to melanie.stratford@cg.catholic.edu.au. To protect the privacy of the authors, all contributions will not be publicly identified.
