…we commemorate the entrance of Our Lord – body and soul  – to  Heaven. However, in spirit He is not  far away- if we do not want Him to be.  Let us pray that we always want Him  near to us !

Tu, dux ad astra, et sémita,
Sis meta nostris córdibus,
Sis lacrimárum gáudium,
Sis dulce vitæ prǽmium.
Amen.

Translation:

Our leader, to the stars, our way
Be thou the goal  for our hearts;
Be thou the joy amidst  our tears,
Be Thou the sweet reward of our life.
Amen.

The traditional way presupposes that Ascension Thursday is on a Thursday. , as it is still in some  of the American dioceses, (Philadelphia for instance) and in chapels, churches and religious  congregations following the   1962 traditional  Latin liturgy.  In other places, it is celebrated on the Sunday after Ascension Thursday. If you are located at such a site, you could still read the propers  for Ascension Thursday in your missal,  preparing thus your soul for a flood of graces on Pentecost Sunday.

Spiritual preparation for Pentecost.

After the 5^th Sunday after Easter (May 26^th))) 

On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we have the  3 Rogation days)

On these days, say the Litany of All  Saints

Addendum:

I have not shared much of the news  – there simply was no time to do so. Could you  please help me with your prayers so that  I find time to tell you the story of the last few months? May God bless you if you do so!
