Facing East: Keeping Our Eyes Fixed on Christ

The Readings for Today's Homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/051426-Ascension On Ascension Thursday, Fr. Matthew Tomeny, MIC, reflected on the Church’s hopeful anticipation of Christ’s return after the Resurrection and Ascension. He emphasized that Christ remains with us daily through the Eucharist, uniting the Church as one body journeying together toward His Kingdom. He explained the ancient Christian tradition of facing East during prayer, and the celebration of the Mass as a symbol of looking toward Christ, the true focus of worship. The priest is not meant to be the center of attention; rather, all are called to look beyond human weakness and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus. Through this shared orientation toward God, the Church continues to always follow Christ in the right direction with faith and hope. ⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=YT ✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=YT ⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy! https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=YT Follow Us on Social Media! 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheDivineMercy/ 🔵 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DivineMercyOfficial 【ꚠ】TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marianfathers 🟢 Download our AD FREE app Divine Mercy Plus: https://divinemercyplus.org/our-apps
