There are few words more beautiful. Happy Ascension Day!

"O Jesus, Author of man’s salvation, the delight of our hearts, the Creator of the world redeemed, and chaste light of those that love Thee.” —Caswall.
Well, that is just exquisite. You're right -- there are few words more beautiful. Thank you. I will bring it to tonight's Mass and pray it right after a silent, small, nearly inadequate but deeply happy Anima Christi.
Courteous comments are welcome. If a comment is not published, it may be due to a technical error. At any rate, do not take offense; it is nothing personal. Slanderous comments will not be published. Anonymity may be tolerated, but politeness is required.
I would like to respond to every comment but my schedule renders it impossible to do so. Please know that I appreciate those who take the time to share their thoughts.
They are lovely indeed, but can you translate, please? :-)

Oh, but none of our prayers are adequate, dear Carol. His love will supply all that is needed.
