re: It’s Ascension Day you Heathens

9 years ago, praying the Office of Readings, chanting in Latin, standing outside the entrance to the tomb of Jesus in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher will probably always be the, or one of the, highlights of my Christian life.

We had been locked in The Holy Sepulcher overnight in prayer and when the realization hit me that it was the Solemnity of the Ascension I wept.


Powerful moment.
