The Ascension of Christ , 1513. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Angels singing alleluia
As they receive their Lord and King.
Maranatha,
Maranatha,
Maranatha,
Maranatha, we on earth still sing:
Come, O come, Lord Jesus (
Liturgy letter)
The angels speak to the disciples, explaining their joy at Christ’s return and what it means for heaven and earth. But then the poem turns from narrative to reflection, following, in its most famous section, Gregory the Great’s exposition in a homily on the Ascension of the

Prayer Intentions: For my next door neighbor and their family on the passing of a husband & father; @Minks to continue to get well; many thanks to @Bix for the continued prayers when tremendously needed; @St.Bede his good spirit that keeps this thread going; @aroosi for your encouragement (as well) back to me when I needed it the most; for all special intentions today~
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
