Longing for the Lord: The Ascension Proves our Love for Jesus

“It has always seemed logical to me that the most holy humanity of Christ should ascend to the glory of the Father. The ascension has always made me very happy. But I think that the sadness that is particular to the day of the ascension is also a proof of the love that we feel […]

Seeking the Face of the Ascended Lord

PAUSE + REFLECT
How can I more regularly strive to see myself and others as God sees us?
