In her first public address after the death of her sons in Mexico, Debra Robinson, invited those listening to her to “live bigger, shine brighter, and love harder” as a testament to the life of her Callum and Jake. When faced with meaningless loss, we take courage by making the circumstances of those who remain bigger, brighter, and lovelier. Today, as we mark the Solemn Feast of the Lord’s Ascension, we are encouraged to do the same. We hear in today’s Gospel the invitation for us who have embraced the faith to proclaim Christ’s message, the Good News, with gusto and fervor to the whole world. May our faith in the resurrected Lord reveal in our relationships and in our dealings that we are living life and making people’s lives bigger, brighter, and lovelier as a testament to God’s Good News.Fr Anthony  Subscribe at the bottom of the page to receive an email notification of the publication of the latest Regional Bulletin.
