Solemn First Vespers of the Solemnity of the Ascension
“Why do we on earth not strive to find rest with him in heaven even now, through the faith, hope and love that unites us to him. While in heaven he is also with us; and while on earth we are with him. He is here with us by his divinity, by his power and his love. We cannot be in heaven, as he is on earth, by divinity, but in him, we can be there by love.”
