S9E5: The Ascension and the Second Coming

Today's Daily Decade, on the Feast of St. Wilfred of England and the Commemoration of Our Lady of the Pillar, in which Our Lady appeared to St. James in his efforts to convert Hispania, offers prayers for Ephraim's parish, which is confronting Parish "listening sessions" this past and this coming Saturdays. We beg the intercession of St. Joseph and St. Gregory the Great for the protection and encouragement of the entire parish. Today's reflection considers the Ascension as a prefiguring of the Second Coming and what that should mean for us.
