Second Glorious Mystery - The Ascension
I Desire The Virtue Of Hope
Think of the Ascension of Jesus Christ, forty days after His
Glorious Resurrection, in the presence of Mary and His disciples.
Acts 1
6
When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you
at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7
He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons
that the Father has established by his own authority.
8
But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you,
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and
Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
9
When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up,
and a cloud took him from their sight.
10
While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going,
suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
11
They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at
the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven
will return in the same way as you have seen him going into
heaven."
