“At Easter, beloved brethren, it was the Lord’s Resurrection which was the cause of our joy; our present rejoicing is on account of His Ascension into Heaven. With all due solemnity, we are commemorating that day on which our own poor human nature was carried up, in Christ, above all the hosts of Heaven, above all the ranks of Angels, beyond the highest Heavenly powers to the very throne of God the Father. It is upon this ordered structure of divine acts that we have been firmly established.” Pope St. Leo the Great
