“Jesus answered …
‘… I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
I have told you this so that you might have peace in Me.
In the world you will have trouble,
but take courage, I have conquered the world.'”

“Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, His the Throne.
Alleluia! His the Triumph,
His the Victory alone.
Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion
thunder like a mighty flood.
Jesus out of every nation
hath Redeemed us by His Blood ….”
“… Alleluia! not as orphans
are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us,
faith believes, nor questions how;
Though the cloud from sight received Him
when the forty days were o’er
shall our hearts forget His Promise,
‘I AM with you evermore’? …”
“Alleluia, Sing to Jesus,” words by William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898), melody Hyfrydol, by Rowland Hugh Prichard, 1811-1887), sung by the Choir of Clifton College, conducted by Malcolm Archer. From album “Festival of Hymns”. Click here for lyrics: oremus.org/hymnal/a/a213.html
“… ‘Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will return in the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven.'”
“Jesus raised His Eyes to heaven and said,
‘Father, the hour has come.
Give Glory to Your Son, so that Your Son may Glorify You,
just as You gave Him authority over all people,
so that Your Son may give Eternal Life to all You gave Him.
Now this is Eternal Life,
that they should know You, the only True God,
and the One Whom You sent, Jesus Christ. …'”
“… The loving figure of the ‘saint of joy’ even today still maintains intact that irresistible charm that he exercised on all those who drew near him to learn to know and experience the authentic sources of Christian joy. Leafing through the biography of St Philip, in fact, one is surprised and fascinated by the cheerful and relaxed method he used to educate, supporting each person with fraternal generosity and patience.
“#Jesus said to His #Disciples:
‘Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn,
while the world rejoices;
you will grieve, but your grief will become joy.
* * *
… I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice …
* * *
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whatever you ask the Father in My Name He will give you.'”
“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘A little while and you will no longer see Me,
and again a little while later and you will see Me.’ …”
