"Men of Galilee, why gaze in wonder at the heavens?
This Jesus whom you saw ascending into heaven
will return as you saw him go, alleluia." (Acts 1: 11).
Today is the Solemnity of the Ascension in our Archdiocese. Some other dioceses around the world celebrated the feast on Thursday, May 10th, 2018.
The Ascension into Heaven of Jesus watched by His disciples. This event continues to bring Christians throughout the centuries immense joy and hope. Joy to see the exaltation of One who overcame death. Hope in the sure expectation of His Second Coming, not as a little poor child but like a Mighty King surrounded by a sun a million times brighter than the sun we know.
"God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord." (Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 47:6–7).
