About The Ascension
Alice Cella - Liturgy Committee Member

In our diocese as in many others, the Feast of the Ascension is celebrated on Sunday following the traditional Thursday of time past. This raises the dignity of the day. After spending 40 days with the Apostles teaching and instructing them, Jesus prepared to leave them to carry on his work. He led them out through Bethany which is about 1¾ miles from Jerusalem at the base of Mt.Olivet. They passed through Gesthemane, a reminder of the price Jesus paid for man's salvation. On Olivet he paused ready to take leave of his beloved followers. He raised his nail marked hands and blessed them, richly described in Luke,(24:44-53). As his arms were raised he was lifted up before their eyes. This little band of devoted men were now entrusted with bearing the truth to the whole world. Were they afraid the challenge? Perhaps. But we see that they first worshipped him and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy. The Apostles knew as we do, that Jesus is God. They knew that his promises were kept. Now the sight of Jesus was replaced with faith, a powerful force. The forty days were ended and now they were to await the fiftieth day – the jubilent moment of the birth of the Church. Pentecost.
