Msgr. Pope on the Ascension

"The Feast of the Ascension is often neglected today. It is tucked into a nearby Sunday, it's role as the fortieth day, jettisoned. But even in those places that still honor it with a Thursday Solemnity, there is still a difficulty in appreciating the full glory of that day. In this post, following the Scriptures and the teaching of some of the ancient Fathers of the Church, we can investigate some of the more hidden glory of this magnificent event."

In a recent commentary, Msgr. Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) offered some reflections on the feast of the Ascension from Scripture and the teachings of the Fathers of the Church.
