Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of La Vang.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension. In the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel tell us that Jesus ascended into heaven in the sight of the Apostles. Since the Ascension of the Lord, Jesus officially was no longer being with us here on earth. But Jesus still remains with us and the Church that he established. Jesus is being present with his disciples on the road of proclaiming the Good News. As St. Mark tells is that “with Jesus’ presence and the miracles verified their message”. However, the primary message of Jesus’ Ascension is to tell the disciples “Go therefore to the nations and proclaiming the Good News and be my witness until the end of the world” This is Jesus’ invitation but it is also a command for all those who believe in Jesus Christ that we must be his witness of love for all people.

We are also called to be on the road of being Jesus’ witness. Although some of us still feel very disbelief and looking toward heaven for assistance. The disciples of Jesus were awakened by the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit assisted the command of Jesus that they must go into the world and tell the good news and living Jesus’ commandment of love. They were testified to Jesus’ love by performing miracles. Jesus told them that “they must love one another as Jesus loved them. If each Catholic practices Jesus commandment of love then our live will be changed from being selfish into helping other people. We will make people happy when we truly care about people who are suffering and needing of our concerns. The Feast of Ascension challenges each one of us to let go of the worldly allurements and looking toward heaven. We must not worry too much about our own lives here on earth. Let us entrust our own human destiny to Jesus Christ who has conquered death and suffering and brought us the newness of life. Let us rolled our sleeves and continue to be Jesus’ ambassadors in this world and hopefully one day we will be admitted into the heavenly Kingdom.

On Tuesday evening, Bishop Dominic came and confirmed close to 70 students of our parish. Congratulations to all the families and friends. We are very grateful for all your prayers, love and support to our parish. May the Lord through the intercession of Our Lady of La Vang bless each one of you with peace love and joy.

Your humble servants in the Risen Lord and Our Lady of La Vang

Rev. Joseph Luan Nguyen & Rev. Augustine Long Vu
