This weekend we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord.

We share a quotation from Pope Francis.

The Ascension of Jesus to heaven makes us know this reality and is so comforting for our journey: in Christ, true God and true man, our humanity was taken to God; He has opened for us the way. He is like the head of a rope party that, when climbing a mountain, has come to the top and draws us to him leading us to God.
