Saturday, May tt:

wouldn't have done well at the Ascension. Sure, I'd have followed Jesus and listened intently. But instead of bowing in homage, I would have waved my hand urgently, asking, "What do you mean'it is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established?' I really need to know when the Spirit will be sent. I have a very busy schedule, so a more specific time would be particularly helpful, Jesus, sir." I can imagine Jesus simply shaking his head, unsure of what to do with this partic-latlr-chalAnging follower. For those of us who like to plan and schedule our lives in precise detail, the Ascension presents some challenges. He promises the Spirit will come-but he doesn't say when, how, or what that will mean. lt's an in-between space, and l'm not a big fan of those. We often have these in-between moments-waiting for a diagnosis, looking for a new job, seeking healing in a relationship. They don't fit into our calendars, and we can't predict exactly when the hoped-for result will come. But we're asked, as were the disciples, to trust that even if it feels as though he's absent, Jesus is with us-and he does fulfill his promises. He sent the Spirit as promised, and he promises us life in abundance. Luke's Gospel reports that the disciples returned from the Ascension "with great joy" as they awaited the Spirit. lnstead of feeling anxious in our own in between moments, can we learn from the disciples'? Can we live with joy as we put our fulltrust in Jesus? I

suffering that triggers suicide and "clfl provide the opportunity for salutary repentance" (2283).
