THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD 

GOSPEL       Matthew 28:16-20

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me

The eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to meet them. When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated. Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of all the nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commandments I gave to you. And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.’

 A beginning point for discussion of this week's Gospel with children:

Who do you know who has gone away and you don’t see very often?

How do you keep in touch?

Jesus went back to his Father but he is still with us.

How do we keep in touch with Jesus?

We show Jesus is with us by the way we live.

How will you show others that Jesus is with you this week?
