Happy Solemnity of the Ascension! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Thanks for tuning in to this week's video and happy solemnity of the Ascension! This wonderful feast is a great reminder for us of our final goal: to be with Christ forever in Heaven. His Ascension is the completion of the Paschal Mystery and the chain of events that started way back on Holy Thursday. Thus, the Ascension is the glorious culmination of Christ's victory over sin and death. For us too, it's also a reminder that Christ is with us in difficult moments and leads us into new life and that the glory Christ works within us through difficulties are so much greater than the sufferings we endure. See Romans 8:18-21 for Paul's fantastic words on this subject.  God bless,  Fr. Chris Visit us: https://www.smarymag.org Support us online: https://membership.faithdirect.net/AZ754
