Note...There will be two slices of bread today, since I posted yesterday's slice too late.
The Ascension. The day is here. Jesus returns to the Father, but as Pope Benedict wrote, "It would be a mistake to interpret the Ascension as the temporary absence Christ from the world, but rather it expresses our belief that in Christ the humanity that we all share has entered into the inner life of God to a new and hitherto unheard of way. It means that man has found an everlasting place in God. We go to heaven to the extent that we go to Jesus Christ and enter into him. Heaven is a person: Jesus himself is what we call heaven." May we see this great Solemnity as our feast as well as Jesus's...and may we this day "enter into him" through attendance at Mass, prayer, and compassion for all who come into our day.
