Believing in this affirmation: you and I already are with “one foot” in Heaven. Celebrating the time of the Ascension of the Lord, the Church brings us to contemplate in Christ our triumph there in Heaven.It is fundamental that we know Christ in order that we may know the hope that he gives us, upon discovering the riches of the glory that is the inheritance of the saints and the immense power that excercises in favor of those that believe. These riches are not something to seek in the future, but to live already here – today and now – in the sacred liturgy in which we are with Him, the High Priest, glorifying the Father. It would be so good if we could celebrate with intensity and not simply attached to the rites, but rather the mystery that is revealed to us in each celebration.
