The Feast Of The Ascension
Today is the feast of the Ascension, when Jesus went back to his Father. It is also in the Church, the day when we begin to pray the Pentecost novena, nine days of prayer asking for the Holy Spirit to come.
This remembers the prayer of the Apostles and disciples in the upper room in Jerusalem. Acts 1:14 “With one heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers”
Normally, today would be a holy day of obligation, when we would be in school celebrating Mass with our year group and local parish priests. This year of course, nothing is normal, but it would be good to access a live streamed Mass.
