That is where he is at home, that is where he belongs. He left the Father and all that heaven means so as to draw us out of our darkness and into his light, but how hard it must have been. . . They were a feeble little band, but there was no more Jesus could do. He leaves them because they have all they need, and the Spirit will bring it to mind. But they themselves must do it. How God must long to do it for us, and make sure it is done! But that is never his way. We are independent moral be- ings, and if we use the abundance of grace that flows down upon us, we can become what Jesus is-a true child of God, someone who can echo these words: I am coming to you.

The Ascension
The accounts of the Ascension, in three of the Gospels (not John’s) and the Acts of the Apostles, differ slightly, but the gist is very clear: Jesus gave them a final blessing and a commission, and then rose into the air, “until a cloud hid him from their sight.” It is not an easy scene to make visible. The medieval painters managed by showing the Apostles looking upward and two feet at the very top edge of the picture representing Jesus passing from earth to heaven. Unfortunately, the feet are not very impressive, aesthetically, and one can see that this image did not appeal to the painter Duccio. What he gives us in his painting of the Ascension is rather indeterminate. It shows Jesus before he makes any movement upward. He is speaking with that unearthly authority that so riveted all who heard him. It is their word that will convert the waiting nations. It is they, up to now only followers, listeners to Jesus, who are now to take the pulpit and teach others, baptize others, do for them what Jesus has done in their own lives. Duccio has Peter and another Apostle (Matthew the Evangelist?) hold-ing a book. This small and reluctant group, bunched together for support, is already accepting the need to write down what they have witnessed and to ac-cept this terrifying vocation with the utmost devotion to duty. They are stand-ing very straight, their eyes fixed on Jesus for the last time in this life, and he seems half on tiptoe, ready for that dissolving of material ties in the glory of his Father.

“The true way to advance in holy vir-tues is to persevere in a holy cheerful-ness.” -St Philip Neri
A lawyer's dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the law-yer's office and asks, "If a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely." "Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today." The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher, with a feeling of satisfaction, leaves. Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer for $100-- for consultation.
