RETURNING TO GLORY
Dear brothers and sisters, today the Church celebrates the Ascension of Our Lord. The first-born of the new creation is gloriously returning to the Father. And all of us his brothers and sisters are destined to follow him in the glory of the Father. We do not have a permanent city here on earth. With the Ascension of Jesus, we also belong to heaven. But how very often we lose sight of our heavenly inheritance! How carelessly we conduct our lives as though we belonged totally to this world! Let us humbly ask the Lord to pardon for all our sins and especially for our undue attachment to the things of this world.
