Ascension Feast – Holy Fifty, Week 6, Day 4
Gospel Reading: Luke 24:36–53
Focus Verse: “He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.” (Luke 24:51, NKJV)
Meditation
Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven—let our hearts ascend with Him. His ascension is not His departure, but our calling upward into glory, hope, and union with the heavenly life.
Early Church Fathers’ Saying
“He did not leave heaven when He came down to us, nor did He withdraw from us when He ascended again into heaven.”
— St. Augustine
Practical Practice
Be present in the Church today, and every day you can. For in the New Covenant, the Church is “the place where the richness of God’s divine plan is revealed”—and there is no salvation outside the Church. Stay in Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
