"We remember and celebrate the Lord’s ascension into heaven at Mass today. Jesus ascended into heaven 40 days after the first Easter Sunday nearly 2,000 years ago.

Long before that first Ascension Thursday, God entered His own creation as Jesus. The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity became man as a humble, vulnerable baby, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. His birth took place far from his parents’ home in a stable that housed livestock."
