Today is day 72 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the tenth line: “He ascended into Heaven” and studying question 72.

72. What resulted from the ascension?

Jesus ascended into heaven so that, through him, his Father might send us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, Christians together are united to Christ, the living Head of his Body, the Church. (John 14:15–17, 25–26; 16:7–15; Acts 2:33–36; Ephesians 4:7–16)

We will conclude today with the Collect for the Sunday after the Ascension found on page 613 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
