Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like DANCING with Joy today?

Our Savior ascended into Heaven and is there preparing a feast for us, after being crucified for OUR sins. First He suffers and DIES for us, then He prepares the greatest party ever? WOO HOO! Every day is occasion to be sorrowful for our sins, and also to be joyful with His rewards, but I think today’s Holy Day is even moreso! 🙂

Thank you Jesus! Sing ALL praises to you O Lord! :harp:
^j^ ^j^:heaven:
Starting my Novena to the Holy Spirit for the first time ever tomorrow 🙂

What’s the novena to the Holy Spirit? I’d like to start one myself.

And I agree! His love overwhelms me every time I think about it!

I feel like this every day, ever since the Lord opened my eyes to see the kingdom! It physically resembles the world I used to live in, but it’s replete with an abundance of joy, peace, serenity, and All That. :cool:

I want to shout from the rooftops! Taste and See the goodness of the Lord! :okpeople:

And do the King David dance! :dancing:

And it’s just like Rom 8:28 says – everything works for the good … :heaven:

It’s just a matter of … seek ye first the things of the kingdom! :getholy:

And yes, I love Ascension, but just wait until Pentecost! 😃

That is true; it’s a daily feeling, especially at Mass, but to me, today is special, as we lead into Pentecost (a very special day for me). My personal relationship with the Holy Spirit leads me to even greater Joy and dancing. 🙂 Just like I’m thankful for my kids every day, on their birthdays and Mother’s Day, it’s even more special. 🙂

I had forgotten that it is Ascension Day. I will go back and read the Bible passages dealing with the Ascension.
 
Blessing for Ascension:

May almighty God bless you on this day when his only Son
ascended into heaven to prepare a place for you.

R. Amen!

After his resurrection, Christ was seen by His disciples.
When He appears as judge may you be pleasing for ever in His sight.

R. Amen!

You believe that Jesus has taken His seat in majesty at the right hand of the Father. May you have the joy of experiencing that He is also with you to the end of time, according to His promise.

R. Amen!
