On the 7th Sunday after Easter, we are invited to contemplate the glorious moment of Christ’s Ascension. In Luke 24, we see Our Lord blessing His Apostles before being taken up into Heaven. He sends them into the world with a mission: to teach all nations and to baptise in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. After this, a cloud gently veils him from their sight, marking the end of his earthly ministry. Yet, this is not a farewell, but a fulfilment, Christ ascends to reign at the right hand of the Father.
Let us pause and gaze upon the Heart of Jesus, now glorified, to whom all power in Heaven and on earth has been given. In this divine moment, he invites us to trust, to follow, and to love more deeply. His heart remains open to each of us, a place of refuge and strength.
Lord Jesus Christ, make my heart like unto yours.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
God the Father, I offer you the Divine Heart of your Son Jesus Christ, with all its merits, so that you will grant me the grace to find refuge in your all-powerful heart. Amen.
Praise be to God.
