By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor
"If we can have that sense, that feeling of Jesus not with us, how much more important when we receive him in his Spirit?" 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. "Jesus is describing a need to be empty inside, a sense that he was not present, so that when he does become present, it's a powerful-feeling thing."
