This is the day when Jesus, true to his promise, sent his Spirit on the apostles. The coming of the Spirit resulted in changed people and saw the launching of the new community (the Church).
Today, the feast of Christ’s ascension, we celebrate the crowning of his Easter victory over sin and death. It is a joyous day, a day to look upwards at where Christ, our Brother, sits in glory a the right hand of the Father.
Few of us know what it’s like to be homeless. Without a home where we belong and are loved, life loses most, if not all, of its meaning.
Jesus assures us that ultimately all of us have a home to go to, namely, the Father’s house. He even says that he has gone ahead of us to prepare a place for us in that house. What a tremendous reason for hope. [Pause]
This Sunday is traditionally known as Good Shepherd Sunday. We will hear once more the words of that great psalm: ‘The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want’.
Christ is our Good Shepherd. Let us pause to reflect ‘on his unfailing love for us. [Pause]
On Easter Sunday evening two disciples of Jesus were returning to
their native village. They were filled with sadness because the man on whom they had pinned their hopes had been executed. Then the risen Jesus joined them, opened their eyes, and turned their sadness into joy.
INTRODUCTION AND CONFITEOR
In today’s Gospel we meet Doubting Thomas. Each of us has something in common with him, for at times our minds are darkened by doubt.
The risen Jesus is with us now, and he says to us what he said to Thomas: ‘Cease doubting and believe.’ [Pause]
Holy Week, which begins today, is the greatest week in the Church’s year. It is made holy by the death of Christ, the Good Shepherd who died for his flock. He died because of sin. Since we are all sinners, each of us can truthfully say that we had a hand in his death. [Pause]

In today’s Gospel we see a scene which is all too common in our own world – people weeping over the death of a loved one. Jesus is at the heart of this sad scene, for it is his good friend Lazarus who is dead.
