Reflection: personal prayer on the feast of the ascension

Every few days, another news story surfaces of an adult attempting to lure a teen from home through social media. Often the young person is captivated by the voice of abductor, who entices through seductive words. Certainly, this is a “thief” Jesus refers to in this Sunday’s Gospel, coming “only to steal and slaughter and destroy.” Jesus, on the other hand, is the gate to abundant life ~ here and in heaven!
