On the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, the Church recalls Jesus' missionary mandate to the disciples and the promise of his constant presence until the end of time. The reflection, based on the Gospel of Matthew and quotes from Pope Francis and Saint Josemaría, invites the faithful to renew apostolic zeal and bring the Gospel to all areas of life.

On the solemnity of the Ascension, the Gospel of Matthew (28:16-20) presents the meeting of the eleven disciples with the risen Jesus in Galilee, where they receive the command to make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching. The text highlights the doubt of some, the universal authority of Christ, and the promise of his continuous presence.
