Albertino Piazza Apostestles en torno al sepulcro,
Staatliche Museum Berlin
In the days of His earthly ministry, only those could speak to him who came where He was: if He was in Galilee, men could not find Him in Jerusalem; if He was in Jerusalem, men could not find Him in Galilee. His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither accent and with Him continually dwell:" it must also send us mind thither accent and with Him continually dwell:" it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.
William Temple
Collect for today, Easter Day
Risen Christ, for whom no door is locked, no entrance barred: open the doors of our hearts, that we may seek the good of others and walk the joyful road of sacrifice and peace, to the praise of God the Father. Amen.
Le jour de Pâques Christ ressuscité, pour qui aucune porte n’est verrouillée, aucune entrée barrée: ouvre les portes de nos cœurs, afin que nous puissions rechercher le bien des autres et marcher sur le chemin joyeux du sacrifice et de la paix, à la louange de Dieu le Père. Amen.
