The Gospel of John offers a unique voice within the New Testament. No other work contains a higher view of Christ or a more unified theology concerning his mission. That theology is most clearly expressed in the Farewell Discours-es (John 13–17). Chapter 17 of John concludes these discourses with a prayer by Jesus to his Father, a prayer that lifts up two aspects of the relationship between the Father and the Son. The two aspects are unity and love. Jesus as-serts that the Father and the Son are one (verses 11, 21) and that such unity is characterized by a love that existed before the foundation of the world (verse 24, also 23 and 26). What is startling about Jesus’ prayer is that it includes us. Jesus prays that we, his disciples, may share in the unity and love of the Father and the Son. Jesus asks the Father to make us one, “as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us” (verse 21). He prays “that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them” (verse 26). Most people readily admit that unity and love should be part of the Christian life. However, this prayer of Jesus reveals that unity and love are not external mandates or philosophical ideals but essential reflections of the nature of God. We are to love one another and strive for unity not because it is a part of a moral system but because we have been invited to live within the relationship of the Father and the Son. Although John’s theology lifts us up into the divine life, it has clear ramifications for our everyday existence. When we accept the perspective of John and see ourselves sharing in the life of the Father and the Son, it increases our joy (John 15:11). Human life assumes a deeper dimension. Every act of love—whether it is offered by a parent, spouse, friend, or stranger—becomes a reflection of God’s love. Every step toward unity—whether it is within a family, church, or nation—is a movement that mirrors the divine nature. Because unity and love are the ground of existence, each time we encounter them, they shine with divine light. John’s theology should also give us courage when love and unity fail. When we are unable to love a family member or associate as we should, when our overtures to peace and forgiveness are rejected, when efforts to work together fall apart, we can lose hope. It is then important to remember that love and unity are not simply the products of our strength and abilities. They reside in God’s own self. Love and unity remain secure and unassailable from human failure, always ready to emerge again with the next attempt to establish them in our world. We should embrace Jesus’ profound invitation to share in the unity and love he possesses with his Father. Living in the unity and love of God, we will be able to find joy in a thousand faces and encounters. We will also stir up the courage to believe that our attempts to find love and unity are not as fragile as they seem. They flow from the very life of God. —Fr. George M. Smiga

Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
The Long Good-Bye
One year on the feast of the Ascension my sister was in labor. The question the angels ask the disciples—
why look to the heavens?—inspired me to write a po-em that ends: “And now the new mother, that leaky vessel, / begins to nurse her child, / beginning the long good-bye.”
Audiences gasp when I read that line, unexpectedly and perhaps uncomfortably reminded of human mortality. Women risk their lives in pregnancy, and I’ve long felt that it’s an act of unfathomable courage to give birth to a person who will one day die. As I grow older and more of my loved ones die, I wonder if Ascension begins the “long good-bye” that God asks of us. Jesus prepares the disciples for his departure by asking them to wait for the Holy Spirit, who will inspire them to minister in his name. Until Pentecost, Jesus will keep saying that his departure is necessary, and even a good thing. But we don’t want to hear that from our loved ones as they prepare to leave us. Even the promise—I will see you again—seems a forlorn hope in the stark fact of their absence. Yet Jesus promises that our mourning will one day become a joy as great as that of a mother who has endured great pain and now holds a beloved child in her arms. As the late poet Robert Lax said when, in his eighties, someone asked if he feared death: “We’re all brought into this life because heaven loves us, and back to that love we go.”

Solemnidad de La Ascensión del Señor El largo adiós Un año
En la fiesta de la Ascensión, mi hermana estaba de parto. La pregunta que los ángeles les hacen a los discípulos ¿por qué miran los cielos?-me inspiraron a escribir un poema que termina: y ahora la nueva madre, esa vasija con fugas, / comienza a amamantar a su hijo / comienza el largo adiós. Las audiencias jadean cuando leí esa línea, de forma inesperada y quizás incómodamente recordé la mortalidad humana. Las mujeres arriesgan sus vidas en el embarazo, y durante mucho tiempo sentí que era un acto de valor insondable para dar a luz a una persona que algún día morirá. A medida que envejezco y mue-ren más seres queridos, me pregunto si la Ascensión comienza el que Dios nos pide. Jesús prepara a los discípulos para su partida pidiéndoles que esperen al Espíritu Santo, quien los inspirará a ministrar en su nombre. Hasta Pentecostés, Jesús seguirá diciendo que su partida es necesaria, e incluso algo bueno. Pero no queremos escuchar eso de nuestros seres queridos cuando se preparan para dejarnos. Incluso la promesa
te volveré a ver- parece una esperanza desolada en el hecho absoluto de su ausencia. Sin embargo, Jesús promete que nuestro luto se convertirá un día en un gozo tan grande como el de una madre que ha sufrido un gran dolor y ahora tiene a un niño amado en sus brazos. Como dijo el difunto poeta Robert Lax cuando, en sus ochenta años, alguien le preguntó si temía la muerte: Todos somos traídos a esta vida porque el cielo nos ama y volvemos a ese amor que vamos.
