Today is the traditional feast of the Ascension. In almost all dioceses its celebration has been moved to Sunday so that more people might be able to celebrate it. It doesn't make much difference this year because in most places churches are still not open.
When the Father raises his Son from the dead and carries him into the other world, all humanity is gathered in with him. The Ascension of God-made-man is human nature's entry into that other world. Whether in church or not, our prayer today is simply one of surrender.
