THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD: CHRIST EXALTED IN GLORY

May 29 – Today We Celebrate His Glorious Return to the Father

Today, the Church celebrates one of the great solemnities in the liturgical calendar: The Ascension of the Lord. This sacred event, which took place 40 days after Jesus’ Resurrection, marks the moment when our Risen Lord ascended into heaven, body and soul, to take His place at the right hand of God the Father.

🔹 What Is the Ascension?

The Ascension is described in Acts 1:9-11:

“He was lifted up before their eyes, and a cloud took Him from their sight... This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same way.”

It is not simply about Jesus leaving. It is about Jesus being exalted, completing His earthly mission, and preparing the way for the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. It is a celebration of victory, glory, and divine promise.

🔹 Why Does It Matter?

The Ascension reminds us:

✨ Jesus is Lord of Heaven and Earth — He reigns with authority and power.

✨ He is interceding for us in heaven (Romans 8:34).

✨ We are called to be His witnesses in the world (Acts 1:8).

✨ He will return — and we must live in hope and readiness.

🔹 Our Response

The Solemnity of the Ascension is both a celebration and a call:

Rejoice in Christ's eternal kingship.

Renew our commitment to live as His disciples.

Remember that our true home is in heaven.

Let us lift up our hearts today and say:

"You have ascended in glory, O Christ our King! Draw us to Yourself and fill us with Your Spirit."

---

🙏 A Prayer for the Ascension

Lord Jesus,

You ascended in glory, not to leave us behind, but to go before us and prepare a place for us.

Fill our hearts with longing for heaven, courage for the mission, and joy in Your victory.

Help us to be faithful witnesses of Your love until You come again in glory. Amen.

THE LITANY OF SAINT JOSEPH

WALKING WITH THE SILENT GUARDIAN: A REFLECTION AND THE LITANY OF SAINT JOSEPH 

Saint Joseph is one of the most quietly profound figures in salvation history. Though Scripture records no spoken words from him, his life resounds with strength, obedience, and faith. He was the humble guardian of Jesus and the chaste protector of Mary—a man of action guided by divine trust rather than public recognition.

In today's world, where noise and self-promotion dominate, the example of Saint Joseph reminds us of the deep virtue in quiet service, fidelity, and courage. The Litany of Saint Joseph is a prayer that invites us into deeper reflection on his life and virtues, while seeking his powerful intercession. It is especially meaningful for fathers, workers, families, and all who labor quietly for the good of others.

-------

Litany’s Update

The Litany of Saint Joseph honors his role as the foster father of Jesus, spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and patron of the Universal Church. First approved in 1909, it was updated in May 2021 by Pope Francis during the Year of Saint Joseph, with the addition of seven new invocations. These new titles further express the Church’s love and admiration for Saint Joseph’s example.

The Committee on Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) approved a slightly adapted English translation incorporating these additions, as well as new introductory and concluding prayers. This litany carries a partial indulgence (Manual of Indulgences, concession 22), offering grace to those who pray it devoutly.

were pleased to choose Saint Joseph

as spouse of your most holy Mother,

grant, we pray,

that we, who revere him as our protector on earth,

may be worthy of his heavenly intercession.

Who live and reign for ever and ever.

R. Amen.
