Is it possible that, as Catholics, sometimes we forget that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, worked hundreds of miracles? Do we forget that his “reward” from the world, for his goodness, his teachings, his prophetic voice, was to be brutally and publicly murdered? Do we forget that even “good people” stood and watched? Do we forget that it was by the power of God that he resurrected and then presented himself and taught for 40 days? Do we forget that during that time he promised the supernatural divine power, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to each of us? And after that promise, he was taken to heaven? He floated up into the air while his friends were watching?
If we were true believers, we would be staring into the heavens, rejoicing and waiting. We would be shouting in the streets, telling everyone we meet about Jesus Christ.
Instead, oftentimes, we are running around in the world, with our heads down, in our busyness, seeking power in the wrong places. It’s time to redirect our hearts from the world, back to the heavens—back to him, Jesus Christ.
