<b>The Feast of the Ascension</b> of Jesus, celebrated forty days after Easter, commemorates the moment when the risen Christ, in the sight of his apostles, ascended bodily into heaven (Acts 1:9-11). It marks the completion of His earthly mission and the beginning
of His exaltation at the right hand of the Father, where he intercedes for us as our eternal High Priest. The Ascension is a reminder that heaven is our true home and that Jesus, fully God and fully human, has gone before us to prepare a place for us in the
Father’s house.</span><span style="font-family:Palatino"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
