Holy Ascension of Christ

June 2024

CHRIST IS ASCENDED!

WITH THE VOICE OF THE TRUMPET!

Kontakion of the Feast

When Thou didst fulfill Thy dispensation for our sake, /

uniting things on earth with the heavens, /

Thou didst ascend in glory, O Christ our God, /

departing not hence, but remaining inseparable from us, /

and crying unto them that love Thee: //

I am with you, and no one shall be against you.

(Tone 6)

To Ponder...

HOMILY ON THE FEAST OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD

Holy Hierarch Innocent (Borisov) of Kherson

Shall we ever behold this glory of our Lord? We shall behold it, for in His last, great prayer, the Lord prayed about this to His Father: I will, He prayed, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me (Jn. 17:24). The angels appeared to the Apostles after the Lord’s Ascension, witnessing that the Lord will come to all of us on the last day in the same appearance as the Apostles beheld Him ascending into Heaven (cf. Act. 1:2).
