Christ is Ascended! Truly He is Ascended!
Today is the Leave-Taking of Ascension. Through the prayers and hymns of this sacred observance, the faithful are reminded of Christ’s glorious Ascension and His eternal reign at the right hand of the Father.
The Leave-Taking of Ascension marks the conclusion of the Church’s liturgical celebration of this great feast. Even as the feast comes to its completion, the faithful continue to rejoice in the promise that Christ remains present with His people and calls all believers to share in His heavenly kingdom.
The appointed Scripture readings for this day are Acts 27:1–44 and John 17:18–26. In Acts, the Apostle Paul demonstrates unwavering faith during a dangerous journey at sea, trusting in God’s providence despite great adversity. In the Gospel according to St. John, Christ prays for the unity and sanctification of His followers, revealing the depth of divine love and the calling of the Church to remain one in truth.
