+In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.Amen.For forty days Christ has given proof of the truth of His Resurrection. Now He seals His triumph over sin and death by ascending to Heaven where His Sacred Humanity takes places at the right hand of God the Father, " ever living to make intercession for us".Christ's Ascension reminds us also that Heaven is our real home and that Christ will come again in Glory to conduct us to our Heavenly home. With these thoughts, let us join in the exultation of our Holy Mother the Church on this glorious feast day.To symbolize the departure of Christ, the Paschal Candle is extinguished after the Gospel of the High Mass on Ascention Thursday.
I pray that you and I will strive to live as people whose home is in Heaven.
Thanks be to God.
With every good wish in Christ,
Ed Bakker
