510- The Ascension then Pentecost – Constant Procession

Christ Has Risen!

The Ascension of Christ comes ten days before Pentecost.

During those day following the Ascension the Apostles could only guess what would come upon them.

But The Virgin Mary knew her son like no other…

Jesus Christ told the Apostles the Father would send someone to help them after he left and rose to Heaven…

And later at Pentecost, The Holy Spirit came upon them…

Here’s an amazing reality – Mark Twain wrote a book about Joan of Arc and felt it was his greatest work!

Here’s a quote from him (from the Catholic World Report)

Mark Twain was still alive when the Church beatified Joan of Arc in 1909. To a certain extent, his novel remains a puzzling act of devotion from a complicated man.

For the great American author, there was no one like St. Joan.

He marveled at her confidence in God’s Will, her courage, her simplicity.

And in her he saw an example for all time.

We can hear Twain’s own voice in the words of his narrator describing Joan:

“It took six thousand years to produce her; her like will not be seen in the earth again in fifty thousand. Such is my opinion.”
