Ascension THURSDAY

Today is Ascension Thursday. Notice I said Thursday, NOT Sunday! I just wanted to make myself clear. It is always 40 days after Easter, and always on a Thursday. Those who hold the belief that it is not a Holy day are sadly mistaken, and will be held accountable one day because of all the people they have led astray. Or, maybe, we should have Pentecost on, let's say, a Wednesday. 40 means a lot in the history of the world. The Flood and Noah, the Jews in wandering; Jesus in the desert, etc. 43 doesn't mean jack. 40 days after Easter. He fulfills His promises. These leaders need a refresher course in the Faith, or get a spine, or grow some, or, whatever it takes. Of course, we wouldn't want people to actually go to Church more than one day week, would we? We'll leave that nonsense to the Protestants, I guess.

We will be going to St. Anne Catholic church in Livonia at 7PM. It is a Pius X Church converted from Protestants. It is a beautiful church, and the services are very holy. Just being in the church gives you the feeling that someone and/or something is definitely there. It just makes you feel good and blessed. And, may God bless the priests who celebrate the Holy sacrifice of the Mass at this church, and, as well, at the other churches where it is still celebrated on this day. Many prayers are needed.

Can you imagine being there when this happened? Seeing Jesus, leading the way with all those blessed souls who have been waiting for this day. Probably, St. Joseph is one of the first, then the Patriarchs, followed by millions (I'm guessing) going to the Heavenly Jerusalem. And, all of the angels that are probably present. The Apostles see this, as well as all of the disciples, and of course, Mary, His and our Blessed Mother. What a truly awesome sight! Then, to bring them back to reality, the two angels ask them what they're doing staring up at the sky. Maybe they are used to seeing sights such as these, but NOT us humans! In a way, this always gives me a chuckle when I think of it.

May Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph help us in our hours of need! And, deliver many souls this day, a THURSDAY!
