What does it mean to ascend? It means to rise. Christians are called and challenged every day to ascend above situations. The opposite of ascend is descend. The world encourages us to descend into the-worst-version-of-ourselves. But every day we are called to ascend and become the-very-best-version-of-ourselves.
Today: As you pray the Rosary, place yourself there with the disciples as Jesus bids them farewell and sends them out to change the world.
