Text of excerpt, if available
That changed with the ascension. Jesus gave them a new dignity and purpose, “You are witnesses to these things,” he said to them. Now they must be to others what Jesus was to them. We are in the midst of a pandemic. In this time of crisis, our dignity lies in being “witnesses to these things.” And we bear witness by living cautiously but courageously, carefully but lovingly, prudently by generously. We bear witness by always imparting the hope that is Jesus Christ. We bear witness by now being for others who Christ has been for us. Let us live out our new-found dignity by bearing “witness to these things!”
