The Ascension of the Lord, May 28th, 2017

Today is the Ascension of the Lord- At the end of His earthly life Jesus ascends triumphantly into heaven. The Church acclaims Him in His holy humanity, invited to sit on the Father's right hand and to share His glory. But Christ's Ascension is the pledge of our own. Filled with an immense hope, the Church looks up towards her leader, who precedes her into the heavenly home and takes her with Him in His own person: "for the Son of God, after incorporating in Himself those whom the devil's jealousy had banished from the earthly paradise, ascends again to His Father and takes them with Him."

Reminder: Office will be closed on May 29th for Memorial Day. Thank you for your understanding. God Bless our Troops!
