CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: Catholic Mass Readings: The Ascension of the Lord, Ascension Thursday (where observed on Thursday) 5.25.17 – USCCB/NABRV
“… as they were looking on,
He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him from their sight.
While they were looking intently at the sky as He was going,
suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
They said, ‘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.'”
