On the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, Fr. Anthony Ho explains to us the account of Jesus’ ascension to heaven in the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus commands His disciples to be witnesses of His resurrection. His salvific mission is complete, but the redemptive work on Earth will be passed on to His disciples, the Church. Although He has left us in his ascension, he will always be with us through the sacrament of the Eucharist.
