The Ascension: Jesus goes back to heaven

In 'The Ascension' we celebrate the moment when the risen Jesus ascended back to His Father in heaven. We hear in the Gospel how, before He departed, Jesus made His friends a wonderful promise "I am with you always; yes, to the end of time." Fr Columba asks the question "Why did Jesus have to go?" and gives us the most incredible of answers. This leads into a peaceful time of prayer and a worship time in which Fr C returns to sing "Beautiful Name."
