THE ASCENSION



THE ASCENSION
Only long afterward
John realised
with what renunciation Mary turned away
from heaven’s gate to Him
and smiled.[1]

Sister M Julian RSM
  In: The Refuge of Beauty.  1954



[1] This is a reference to the great amount of moral strength it must have cost the Blessed Virgin Mary to endure the parting from Jesus during His Ascension into heaven with outward equanimity.
