Caught by Jesus:
Jesus is fishing for all of us. He wants to catch our hearts. He uses the circumstances in our very lives to catch our attention.
*************************************************************************************
'Jesus' final gesture, has a dual significance. By rising 'up' He unequivocally revealed His divinity. He returned from whence He came, in God, after having completed His mission on earth. Moreover, Christ ascended to heaven with the humanity He had assumed and caused to arise from the dead: that humanity is ours, transfigured, made divine, rendered eternal. Thus the Ascension reveals the 'ultimate vocation' of all human beings, each called to the eternal life of the Kingdom of God.
- Pope Benedict XVI (On the Ascention of the Lord; May 22, 2006)
