THE ASCENSION OF OUR LORD
THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2022
The feast of the Lord’s Ascension always falls on a Thursday, on the fortieth day after Christ’s resurrection. This is one of the principal feast days of our Lord celebrating the memory of Christ’s Ascension into heaven and underscores its significance for us. St. John Chrysostom, in his homily on the Ascension says: “Today mankind is reconciled with God. The ancient battle and enmity have disappeared. We, who were unworthy to live even on earth are now lifted up to heaven, we who do not even deserve earth, ascend to heaven and inherit the throne of the King and Lord. Mankind, against which the cherubim guarded paradise, is now raised up above all the cherubim.”
O Lord, the apostles themselves were astonished when they saw You,
their God, ascending over the clouds as if sitting upon a throne.
Wherefore we praise Thee for Thy gracious mercy
