2. The Ascension of Jesus to Heaven

Medjugorje Mir - Medjugorje Pilgrim Services

2nd - The Ascension

They went out of the town of Bethany and Jesus gave them his final blessing.
He raised His arms and ascended into heaven.
They stood below in utter amazement at what had happened.
Think of what it would be like to see Jesus ascend bodily into heaven.
Imagine the grief in Mary's and the apostles' hearts to see Him go!
Jesus has not left. He remains with us in His divinity and humanity in the Eucharist today.
He longs for us to come and receive Him. He waits for us to come and be with Him in front of the tabernacle.
He gave Himself on the cross. He gives Himself this very day in the Eucharist.
He loved us so much He died for us. He rose to give us new life. As He ascended into heaven he left behind the most precious gift of all--Himself!
He said, "For John baptized with water but, in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
