Via Lucis - 12th Station

12th Station
TWELFTH STATIONThe Risen Lord Ascends into Heaven.
Reflection: The Scriptures do not portray the Ascension as a day of sadness. While still looking up at the skies, the disciples were consoled by the continuing presence of the Lord. They return to the familiar surroundings of the Upper Room, with Mary, the mother of the Lord, to pray in anticipation of their mission. In this "original novena," we continue to implore the Risen Lord to be the center of our lives and to keep us focused as a jubilant pilgrim people.
We adore You, O Christand we praise You! Because by the Wood of the Cross andthe Light of the Resurrection, You have redeemed the world!
