S12E5: The Ascension and the Cross

Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Albinus, offers prayers for Johnny, a little boy who is in the hospital suffering terribly from a disease that has robbed him of his ability to walk, talk, eat, and breathe. We beg the powerful intercession of the Blessed Mother on his behalf as well as that of his family. Today's reflection is on the Ascension and the hope it provides us in times of temptation, especially on our Lenten journey, and the echo it offers of the fourth of Christ's Last Words - "my God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
