When you read or think about the Ascension of our Lord, do you picture Jesus looking up to heaven? That is how He often appears in artwork, but Father Chuck asks us to look at this Sunday's bulletin. It features an image of stained glass from the Detroit Cathedral showing Jesus looking down with his arms wide open (photo by Fr. Lawrence Lew, O.P.). We know that Jesus is looking at us with his arms wide open, continually pouring out the Holy Spirit. All we need to do is surrender to His love.
