8. Ascension of Jesus: Gift of the Lowinski Family. After Jesus had eaten with the Apostles and had taught them, He led them toward Bethany. He informed them that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them. He blessed them and then ascended into heaven. The ascension and glorification of Jesus is viewed by the Franciscans as
the crowning of Jesus' life of poverty and humility by God the Father. |
