The Ascension of Our Lord

Forty days after the Resurrection, Our Lord Jesus Christ, attended by Angels, ascended into Heaven in the sight of His most holy Mother, His Apostles, and disciples, to the great wonder of them all.

He entered into possession of the Kingdom of Heaven which He had gained by His sufferings, and St. Paul declares that God "has made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus." "There where the Head has gone, the Body is called to follow!"
