The Ascension of the Lord

"The Ascension contains the great mystery of why Jesus must visibly leave his disciples, thus creating a physical void in their midst...They must now themselves become what they have learned to admire and love."

-Erasmo Leiva-

"May almighty God bless you, for on this day his Only Begotten Son
pierced the heights of heaven
and unlocked for you the way
to ascend to where he is."

-Solemn blessing from Magnificat
