WHAT GOES UP........MUST COME DOWN

WHAT GOES UP........




Today is
What is KNOWN by Catholics
And some Christian faiths
As Ascension Thursday


It commemorates
The bodily ascension
Of Jesus into heaven
And it is celebrated
On a Thursday
The fortieth day after Easter


“After his suffering
he showed himself
To these men
And gave many convincing proofs
That he was ALIVE


He appeared to them
Over a period
Of forty days


And spoke about
The kingdom of God” Acts 1:3


And he told them:


“It is not for you
To know
The times or dates
The Father has set
By his own authority


But you will receive
POWER when the Holy Spirit
Comes on you


And you will be my witnesses
In Jerusalem


And in all of Judea and Samaria
And to the ends of the earth” Acts 1:7-8


And WE will be
His witnesses too
To ALL the end s of the earth


PREPARING for the Lord
WAITING for the Lord


….....MUST COME DOWN


And ten days later
The spirit came
And descended upon the believers
As it will descend on us
In ten days=June 8^th, 2014


The Holy Spirit descends on them
And upon us


“The BELIEVERS
Who were all gathered
In one room saw


'What looked like
Tongues of fire
Which spread on
And touched each person there


They were ALL filled
With the Holy Spirit
And began to talk
In other languages
As the spirit
Enabled them to speak'” Acts 2:1-4


The apostles and disciples
Did their work
And are long gone
From this world


Estimates and statistics
Show that there are 1.2 billion Catholics
And up to a total of 2.7 billion Christians
Out of the 7 billion people
On our planet


The SPIRIT is descending on us
This Sunday June 8th^th, 2014


BE practicing Catholics and/or Christians
In today's world


CATCH GOD'S FIRE
And spread THE WORD OF GOD
In thought-in word-in deed
AND IN LOVE


Most importantly
In love


You CANNOT be a disciple of Christ
UNLESS you are loving God
And loving others


CATCH THE FIRE
Be a DISCIPLE of God and Christ TODAY


Dear Lord-We pray
That we may ALWAYS LOVE
And use the gifts
Of the Holy Spirit
And SPREAD the gospel of love
Of God
And our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
