May 16, 2021: Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord

Our exuberant Easter joy of these past 6 weeks reaches new heights, pun intended, as we celebrate the Ascension of our Risen Lord.

He has triumphed in rising from the dead, and now takes His place at the right hand of God.

While He is no longer present physically with His disciples on Earth, He continues to abide with them,  as He promised, especially in the mission He has left for them to make Him known in the world.

He has equipped each of us for a special role to build up the Church, the body, so that we may attain the full stature of Christ, and reach where our Exalted Head has gone.

We now live to make Him known to others by our way of living.  And because He desires to abide with us, He continues to work through us, and so we rejoice.
