SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Sexto Domingo~ Šeštoji Sekmadienis
Catholic Q&A: The Ascension of the Lord Excerpted from the Station of the Cross, Catholic Radio Network
What is the Ascension of the Lord? The Ascension of the Lord refers to “the entry of Jesus’ humanity into Divine Glory in God’s heavenly domain, forty days after Easter” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Glossary, p. 867; Cf. 659, 665).
How does the Catholic Church celebrate the Ascension of Our Lord? The Ascension of the Lord is commemorated by the Catholic Church as a Solemnity and Holy Day of Obligation. The Ascension is celebrated 40 days after Easter…[In some dioceses, the Ascension is celebrated the 7th Sunday of Easter.]
When did the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ occur? The Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ occurred 40 days after His Resurrection (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:9-11). The As-cension took place in broad daylight on the Mount of Olives, in the presence of his Apostles and disciples.
What happened when Our Lord ascended into heaven? The Lord Jesus gave the Apostles and disciples his final instructions (Acts 1:6-8), and promised to be with them and us until the end of time: “I am with you always, to the close of the age” (Matthew 28:20). Then , in a traditional Jewish form of blessing, he raised his hands (Luke 24:50), and continued to bless them as he ascended into the heavens by his own pow-er, until a cloud received him from their sight (Luke 24:50-51).
If Jesus is God and His Body was glorified in the Resurrection, why is His Ascension into Heaven so necessary? ...the Lord Jesus appears to his Apostles and disciples after his Resurrec-tion, they experience him in a risen and glorious state. In the Ascension
and exaltation of the Lord Jesus in glory at the Father’s right hand, the disciples are also able to experience Jesus’ risen glory as one of triumph and exaltation.
If Jesus possesses glory as God, why does His human nature need to be glorified? ...The significance and importance of the Ascension is that Jesus’ human nature – his Body and his Soul – are exalted in the Ascension. He lets this happen because by the exaltation of his human nature, he can pass that exultation and glory on to those who become “members of his Body,” the Church through being united to him by the Holy Spirit in Baptism! So, by being exalted in his human nature, Jesus makes it possible for unto be exalted and to share in his exalted glory. In his human nature Jesus was exalted so that our human nature could be exalted! The Ascension is a saving act!

¿Qué es la ascensión? En el Evangelio de San Lucas 24, 50-53 se narra como, después de dar las últimas in-strucciones a los Apóstoles, los llevó cerca de Betania y mientras los bendecía, alzando las manos, subió al Cielo. Los Apóstoles lo vieron alejarse hasta que desapareció en una nube. Con su Ascensión al Cielo, Jesús nos abre las puertas para que podamos seguirle. La Ascensión es para todos los cristianos un símbolo de esperanza, pues sa-bemos que Cristo está sentado a la derecha del Padre, intercediendo por nosotros y que un día podremos llegar con Él a gozar de la felicidad eterna. Por esto, celebramos la fiesta con una Misa solemne. Durante la celebración de la Misa, puede haber una procesión solemne, con incienso. El crucifijo se adorna de blanco, se llevan luces y flores. ¿Qué nos enseña la Ascensión? Debemos luchar por ser perfectos y buenos para poder ir al Cielo con Jesús. Él vivió como todos nosotros su proyecto y lo fue perfeccionando día a día. Su proyecto no terminó con la Muerte, sino que siguió con su Resur-rección y su Ascensión. Con la Ascensión, Jesús alcanza la meta final y es exaltado; se hace Señor y primogénito de sus hermanos. La plenitud sólo se alcanza al final y es un don de Dios.
