Day 1 – Friday

Read: Gospel of John 14:1–11

Prayer. When You had ful lled Your plan for us and united things on earth with those in heaven, You ascended in glory, O Christ our God, in no way distant, but remaining inseparable, You cried to those who love You: I am with You and there is none against you. (Kontakion, Ascension Thursday)

Missionary tasks.

1. Personal/Family. Let us ask ourselves: do I believe that God loves me personally. Let us pray for those who love us and those who hate us. Today-tomorrow let us show our love to our family members through some unexpected gesture or good deed.

2. Parish. Let us ask ourselves: how do I let my fellow parishioners know that they are my brothers and sisters? Let us go to church always greeting one another. In particular, let those who live alone experience our brotherly or sisterly love.

3. Beyond the parish. Today-tomorrow let us discretely give a compliment to three strangers: at work, while shopping, while taking a train or bus, or just in our neighborhood.
