Fr. Mark Mary: 今天，我将带领大家冥想并祈祷第二个光荣奥迹，即吾主的升天，并借助威尼斯圣马可大教堂的升天镶嵌画。这幅镶嵌画创作于11世纪到19世纪之间，描绘了基督坐在云朵的宝座上，圣母玛利亚和施洗约翰跪在两旁。通过默想这幅画，我希望我们能够效法耶稣、圣母玛利亚和施洗约翰的榜样，拥抱谦卑，将天主的旨意置于一切之上。这意味着放弃控制，信任天父的计划，即使在不合理的时候也要坚持。这意味着不追求世俗的荣誉和财富，而是通过祈祷、牺牲和慈善事业来寻求天上的荣耀。最重要的是，这意味着要减少自我，让天主增加，与基督一同下降，以便与他一同上升，最终分享他的荣耀。

St. John the Baptist said in John 3:30, “he must increase, I must decrease”. In today’s mosaic of the Ascension, Fr. Mark-Mary draws our attention to St. John the Baptist and Mary, who in turn direct our attention to Christ. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Ascension and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or for free in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
