Fr. Mark Mary: 今天，我默想耶稣升天，特别关注 Gandino 绘画中耶稣留下的脚印。这个脚印的意象让我联想到圣奥古斯丁的观点，即耶稣升天后并未离开我们，祂的脚印是祂与我们同在的象征。进一步思考，我发现圣方济各的灵修中也强调追随耶稣的脚印，他不仅希望修士们走耶稣走过的路，更要精确地踩着耶稣的脚印前行。为了实现这一点，圣方济各强调研读经文，因为经文记录了耶稣的言行，使我们能够了解祂的心意。此外，圣方济各热爱圣礼和教会，因为它们是耶稣与我们相遇的场所，也是我们获得恩典的途径。因此，我得出结论，耶稣升天并非意味着祂的离去，而是邀请我们跟随祂的脚印，通过圣言、圣礼和教会，与祂一同升向天国。我渴望能够效法圣方济各，以新的热情和专注跟随耶稣，甚至将自己的脚放在祂的脚印中，活出基督的生命。

Exploring the mystery of the Ascension, Fr. Mark-Mary meditates on Jesus’ enduring presence through the symbol of His footprints, as depicted in Bernardino Gandino’s Baroque painting. This image becomes a powerful reminder of Christ’s continued presence and an invitation to follow Him not just in spirit, but step by step, through Scripture, the sacraments, and the life of the Church. 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 in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
