This Thursday we celebrate the Ascension of our Lord, 40 days after his resurrection. The Ascension is the event, where Jesus arose into heaven. It makes us think of how we can prepare for His return. If Jesus were to return to Earth in one hour, what would you do to prepare? https://t.co/gLIZ5dDAom
Wishing those who are observing the Ascension today, peace and love. https://t.co/tschG2zGHC

The period between the resurrection and the ascension was meant to zero-in on the mystery of Jesus' incarnation: He was born, suffered, died and rose from the dead for the sake of our salvation. Let us not forget that as we near the solemnity of the #Ascension. #Easter https://t.co/cGZp3pLWjj
