Ascension Thursday
Here in the U.S. we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension on Sunday. Nonetheless, I still see Thursday listed as an option on the USCCB website, and our Psalters still show the Ascension as a Thursday feast. So I say, let’s celebrate twice! It’s a joyous occasion, this rising from the dead and ascending into light!
We can also be reminded of ascension as we watch the butterfly rise gracefully from the flower.
Yes, let’s celebrate twice. May all who need lifting up feel God;’s presence ascending in them, today and always.
Right on, Dusty!
