Come and join us as we celebrate Our Lord's Ascension into heaven at our Parish Mass. The disciples are completely dumbfounded by seeing Jesus being taken up through the clouds, just as we would have been! The message of the angels is clear: don't stand around gazing up into heaven, there is work to do on earth. We all have work to do now to witness to our faith, but we always have with us the promise of the Ascension, and Jesus' blessing on our work. As Charles Wesley's great hymn (which we will be singing tomorrow) has it: 'See! he lifts his hands above; See! he shows the prints of love: Hark! his gracious lips bestow blessings on his Church below'. Alleluia! Alleluia!
