“And the Ascension carries that revolution to a new pitch. It’s the coming together of earth and heaven. We see this “coming together” throughout the Church’s life, in good preaching, in great Christian art, in the singing at liturgy, in the architecture of our cathedrals and churches, in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Heaven meets earth and earth meets heaven, and that’s what the Ascension finally achieves.”

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven….

We must realize that this is what Christians do…we work with Christ to continually bring Heaven to earth and earth to Heaven.  We are connected through Christ with the Father. Through our prayers, our actions, and especially our love, we reach up to God and He reaches back.

Peace,
