Life Ascending – A Catholic movement of the Church

We are living through an unprecedented time. A time rarely if ever seen before and something quite extraordinary.

What would the world have done if this corona virus had happened before radio, television, computers and mobiles?  The news is constantly fed to us from across the world, communication between peoples is incredibly easy enabling information, help and every type of visual entertainment to be shared by all.

Our Life Ascending members are mainly in their 60’s through to their later years and for those with mobiles or with a computer, will therefore be enjoying the streamed Masses, the prayers and many spiritual reflections being shown online.  During these days when we must remain isolated from one another, we can fulfil the mission and friendship of Life Ascending by making a telephone call to a member living alone, a neighbour or someone we haven’t been in touch with for sometime.  We can see if anyone needs help and get our loved ones who are helping us to do that little extra by helping this person.

God is with us and His grace and Divine Mercy are there to sustain and support us each moment, as we travel through the weeks, isolated in our homes.  We can be a messenger of peace and calm, particularly for those who are fearful and troubled and be a light shining during these dark days.  As St Julian of Norwich said “All will be well, all manner of things will be well”

Our Spring 2020 Journal is delayed
