Day 28 Reflections on the Ascension of Christ

In this episode we wrap up our reading concerning the sixth article of the Apostles Creed concerning the Ascension of Christ. We see that Christ's ascension is that to which His incarnation is finally ordered. The Ascension is the consummate fulfillment of the sacred scripture when Our Lord says He that is humbled shall be exalted. The ascension also serves to increase our Faith, Hope and Charity. In finishing our discussion we also read from the Summa Theologica of Saint Thomas Aquinas when he asks Whether Christ's ascension is the cause of our salvation. (IIIa. Q. 57. A.6)
