The LION, the WITCH and the ASCENSION OF JESUS

Homily for Ascension Sunday – Year A
Matthew 28:16-20

Fr. Bill discusses the novels of C.S. Lewis, and the priorities Jesus left with us when He Ascended into Heaven. He also addresses the importance of Creation and the Eschaton in relation to those priorities as we await, hope in and expect the eventual Return of Jesus at the End of Time.
