Jesus' Ascension Jesus ascends to his Father in heaven.
Man is that being who is in-between heaven and earth.
For we are not made to be satisfied with this world. Neither family, circle of friends, city or State, not one of these earthly communities would ever quite satisfy the demands of our reason and hearts, no matter what degree of perfection it might attain in history. We can be entirely fulfilled and satisfied only by this supreme and final union of love and reason in God. Today's feast of the Ascension reminds us that our true destiny lies in God. We must not only do what Jesus commands us, but we must follow him to the place where he has gone.
