In a world of on-going earthquakes and after-shocks, unrest, violence, and under-inflated footballs, the latest Pew Poll on the declining number of church-affiliated Christians in the United States, might be just another ripple in the wave of bad news that comes to us daily. Our focus on the Ascension of Jesus and the decent of the Holy Spirit comes (as always) at an opportune time to remind us that "the gates of hell will not prevail." (Mt 28:20). If we are "shaken" by the increasing number of non-Christians, let's think back to Pentecost morning when locked in the upper room was a small number of believers, and outside was a world of non-believers. Undaunted, the apostles threw open the doors and began to evangelize. 3,000 were added that day. It can and will happen again. All is well, all shall be well.
