The Lord’s Ascension is the visible sign of God’s reconciliation with us, but also the glorification of our human nature. This reconciliation and our glorification were achieved through the incarnation of the Son and Word of God, His teachings, His voluntary Passion, His glorious Resurrection, culminating in His Ascension into heaven. The Ascension is described by the Evangelists Mark (16, 19) and Luke (24, 50-51), as well as in the Acts of the Apostles (1, 9-11). As regards the time of the event, the book of Acts tells us that it occurred forty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

‘This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven’ (Acts 1, 9-11). With the handing-back of the great feast, yesterday saw the completion of forty days after Easter, and today our Holy Church celebrates the joyous event of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s glorious Ascension into heaven.
