The Ascension of the Lord, May 17, 2026
“Why do you stand looking?”
By: Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor
This Feast celebrates a great wonder, a mystery that human words fall short of being able to describe. Jesus, the God-Man— who once was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, who lived, suffered and died for us, who rose from the tomb on the third day— now Ascends in his Resurrected Body to the heavenly throne. What does it mean that God has taken on our flesh? What does it mean that God rose from the dead in his glorified-but-still-crucified Body? What does it now mean that Jesus has taken his glorified Body to the very throne of the Godhead?
Much of what we can say here is about God’s plan for us, his children, and our eternal destiny. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had an intimacy with God that we may envy; they walked and conversed with God in the cool of the day.
But even in the Garden, God did not walk with humanity as one of them. In the Incarnation, God takes on our very flesh, taken from the Blessed Virgin, and walks and talks with us AS ONE OF US, without ever ceasing to be God. This Jesus suffered, died, and conquered the grave. Now we recall that he returns (though he was never really “away”) to the Father— and brings his humanity with him.
We are saved from death and hell. The chasm caused by sin returns us to the intimacy of Eden, far surpassing even that closeness in the Garden. God desires us to be drawn up into his very life, his very self. This is where Jesus is, and that is where He desires us to be. This mystery also helps us to better understand Mary’s Assumption. She anticipates (perfectly) the destiny God desires for all his children, union of both our spiritual AND bodily aspects with our loving Creator and Savior.
Prayer for a New Bishop
Almighty and ever-living God, in your faithfulness, grant to the Diocese of Colorado Springs a shepherd whose watchful care and kindly zeal will continue the good work of his predecessors.
In your love for us, give us a shepherd who will lead us in being Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice. Let him who is chosen to be our shepherd strive to live more and more each day with holiness of life and heroic virtue so that he will lead your holy people in all truth.
Prepare him, we humbly pray, to fill our minds and hearts with the truth of the Gospel, the power of the sacraments, and the desire to actively work to build up your holy Church.
Loving God, grant our Holy Father Pope Leo wisdom in discernment as he chooses a new bishop for this local Church. By your divine providence, grant us a shepherd after the heart of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, whose benevolent care and zealousness will strengthen the people of God.
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, and in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
