The Ascension of Our Lord is upon us! Is Easter really wrapping up its season already? It has definitely been a time of rejoicing, and entrustment to the Merciful Love of God, for me. He is so loving!
As we watch on with the disciples as Jesus rises to the heavens, sometimes I feel like whispering to Him in my own life: please, don't leave me! I have been through this process when making one of my first lectio divinas with this scene. It took some time to think about, but also to realize that in reality He never left me.
Did He not send the Holy Spirit? And don't I have a personal relationship with this divine lover?
So no, He never left me! He is my redeemer and lover, and I don't have to feel like I'm "leaving him" either.
Lord Jesus, help us be present to You, as You are always present to us!
God be Praised! Let us move forward, with Him!
