Ascension Thursday Morning 2024
After Christ sacrificed Himself for our sins and conquered death through His Resurrection, His physical, glorified Body entered Heaven so that we may all follow Him there. The Paschal Candle is extinguished after the Gospel to represent Our Lord’s departure from the Earth. This is the day of great joy because today the Son of God went home. We will all receive our bodies at the end of time. To deny this dogma is the heretical rejection of the teaching of Our Lord. Even the apostles were rebuked by Christ for their lack of faith. This is a warning to all of us who are so weak in faith. We must not be discouraged; we have become new people and have been prepared for a greater calling.
