Feast of the Ascension
He is the reason we live and move and have our being. He is our yeast; the leaven in our lives.
Mark 16:15-20
This is not the time to band yuh belly, to fast for forty days. This is not the season for struggling through the wilderness with unleavened bread in our baskets. Go out now and be free.
Praise and thanks to his mother for kneading into His life the precious yeast for stamina and vigor that he could get back up from many falls; bounce back from betrayal after betrayal; rise up from the tomb; nothing could keep him down. So too, nothing could keep us down, we who share in His one bread and drink from the one cup.
With Him in us, we who have been healed, will go out and heal the world. We will be unharmed by the wretchedness of the world. Pain is the leaven. This is the time for rising. He is the yeast of all creation. With Him we rise.
