From Bernard Deschler’s beautiful blog The Deacon’s Studio comes the stirring image at the left, his interpretation of The Ascension.

Some words of wisdom:

“In the Ascension the Savior did not lay aside the garment of flesh with which He had been clothed; for His human nature would be the pattern of the future glory of other human natures, which would become incorporated to Him through a sharing of His life. Intrinsic and deep was the relation between His Incarnation and His Ascension. The Incarnation or the assuming of a human nature made it possible for Him to suffer and redeem. The Ascension exalted into glory that same human nature that was humbled to the death.” — Archbishop Fulton Sheen, “Life of Christ”
