By Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Integrated Catholic Life - The Ascension is about Jesus’s triumph and glorification. If we get our attention off ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit’s love of the Son to animate our souls, we’ll experience greater joy than when we see our child hit a home run or graduate from college... the Ascension is not just about charity. It is also a feast of hope. Yes, there is something in it for us.
