"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." – Martin Luther King Jr.

At this special time of year, we have books to inspire and delight you. Accompany your little ones 'On the Road to Emmaus' or through 'Via Lucis: The Way of the Light'. Or perhaps, reflect with Fr Michael on the Gospel resurrection narratives in 'Alive'.

The Ascension is an ecumenical feast, universally celebrated by all Christian churches (along with Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost and Christmas).

Acts 1:6-9

Now having met together, they asked him, "Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?'"

He replied, "It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end."

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.
