Ascension Day

Today is Ascension Day, the 40th day after Easter, in which we celebrate Christ's ascension to heaven. We many times forget this part of Christ's saving acts. We remember his death and resurrection but skip over his ascension and promised return. You can read the story of Christ's ascension in the Book of Acts by going here. You can also read about the Feast of the Ascension by going here.

And from the Prayer Book:
Grant, we pray, Almighty God, that as we believe your only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ to have ascended into heaven, so we may also in heart and mind there ascend, and with him continually dwell; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
