12 reactions | This Mission Week, we celebrate and give thanks for our vocation and unity as Ascension. Today, on the Feast of the Ascension, we reflect in reverence on the scriptures which inspired our name. Just as Jesus commissioned His disciples to continue His healing ministry on earth, we are honored and humbled to continue in response to His call today, and to walk in the faithful, courageous, innovative and devoted footsteps of our foundresses and founders. | Ascension | Facebook
