Here’s a clean, ready-to-use Spotify title and description for this Ascension homily:Recommended Episode Title:He Left, Yet He Stays: The Ascension of Our Lord (Fr. Miguel Homily)Spotify Description:In this beautiful homily for the Feast of the Ascension, Fr. Miguel reflects on the Lord’s triumphant return to the Father. Jesus ascends not to abandon us, but to bring our human nature into glory and prepare a place for us in heaven.“He left, yet He stays.” Though Jesus ascends to sit at the right hand of the Father, He remains with us always — especially in the Holy Eucharist — until the end of the age. The Ascension completes the Paschal Mystery and gives us firm hope: where our Head has gone, we His members are called to follow.Fr. Miguel reminds us that our earthly life is a journey with stops, detours, and difficulties, but we must not quit. Just as the Apostles prayed with Our Lady for the coming of the Holy Spirit after the Ascension, we too are invited to pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit as we continue the mission: “Go and make disciples of all nations.”A hopeful and encouraging message — Christ has gone before us. Heaven is now open. Let us keep going until we reach our eternal home.
