How I love the Feast of the Ascension. I wish we (and evangelicals in particular) made for of this Feast, which Augustine considered the greatest of all feasts: the Coronation Day of Christ.
V: "God has gone up with a merry noise, Alleluia!" R: "He has gone up with the sound of the trumpet, Alleluia, alleluia!" (Ascension Antiphon)
I, too, am thrilled at the thought of Jesus, conferring with the Father - on their plans to invest the infant Church with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Hail the day that sees Him rise!
