To-day,wecelebrateOurLord'sfinal victory.itwasthemostgloriousday ofHisLife.OnPalmSunday,Jesus receivedpassingglory.But,to-day, Hereceiveseverlastingglory.

Onthisday-fortydaysafterthe Resurrection-Jesusappearedonthe MountofOlives.TheretheApostles anddisciplesweregathered.Jesus saidtotheApostles:"Goingtherefore, teachyeallnations,baptisingthem inthenameoftheFatherandofthe SonandoftheHolyGhost;teaching themtoobserveallthingsthatIhave commandedyou.Andbehold,Iam withyoualldays,eventotheconsummationoftheworld."

Abeautifulcloudthendescended fromtheskyandenvelopedtheRisen Saviour.Jesuswentupslowlyinthe cloud,andoutofsight.

TheApostlesgazedonthisscene withfixedeyes,untiltwoangelsappearedandsaidtothem:"Yemenof Galilee.whystandyeheregazingup toheaven?ThissameJesuswillone daydescendfromheaven."
