By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor
"The Feast of the Ascension is, I think, an essential part of the paschal season," Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for the 23rd episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, for our celebration of the Ascension of the Lord. "Before we receive the gift of the Spirit on Pentecost — recalling that day in the scriptures — I think it's important for us to understand that we have to be emptied, we have to let go of Christ in a way to grab on in a new way through the Spirit."
