In this contemplative episode, I offer a poetic spiritual letter inspired by the Feast of the Ascension. Drawing on the language of Scripture, bridal mysticism, and the insights of saints like Bernard of Clairvaux, this reflection explores the longing of the soul for the risen and ascended Christ.

The Ascension is not Christ’s departure, but His drawing us upward. He leaves in body but not in love. His heart remains with us, and ours with Him. This is a time of holy yearning, of gazing through the lattice and crying out: “Draw me after You, let us run.”

If you’ve ever felt pierced by love, stirred by divine absence, or overwhelmed by the beauty of the risen Lord, this reflection is meant for you.

For those who live between the tomb and the throne, between resurrection and return, may this meditation enkindle hope, desire, and devotion.
