The Second Glorious Mystery- The Ascension

Jesus remained on earth forty days after His Resurrection to prove He has truly risen from the dead. He commissioned the Apostles to preach the gospel to everyone and promises to be with them forever.

He will not leave them orphans, but will send the Holy Spirit to enlighten and strengthen them. Jesus proceeds to Mount Olivet accompanied by His Mother and the Apostles and disciples.

Extending His pierced hands over all in a last blessing, He ascends into heaven. As He ascends a cloud takes Him from their sight. He takes His place at the right hand of the Father.

What jubilation there must have been among the Angels of heaven at the triumphant entry of Jesus! The disciples leave Mt. Olivet and return to Jerusalem with great joy.


Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
