S7E5: The Reality and Perception of the Ascension

Today's Daily Decade, on the Feast of St. Jerome Emiliani, offers prayers for Bethany and for all the victims of the sin of divorce, husbands, wives, and children. We beg the intercession of two model wives, Ss. Monica of Thagaste and Margaret of Scotland, and of St. Joseph, patron of husbands, fathers, and strong families. Today's reflection deals with the perception of God's absence, especially in the Ascension itself, where Christ feels the need to remind us that He is with us "always, even until the consummation of the world".
