Through his example of love, compassion, and forgiveness, he teaches us to do the same. May Ascension Day remind us that we are part of something greater and that God's love always accompanies us.
On Ascension Day, the Son of God ascends to the heavens, to reign beside his Father. With majestic splendor, he rises above the earth, leaving his disciples in awe. A glorious day that elevates the faith of mankind to new heights.
On this day, Christ ascended high,
To the heavens, beyond our sky,
His earthly mission complete,
In glory, He takes His seat.
With open arms, He bids farewell,
To His disciples, who could tell,
That His love would never cease,
As they spread His message of peace.
In awe, they watched Him disappear,
But in their hearts, He would be near,
Christ's Ascension, a sacred sight,
Filling the world with eternal light.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
