We begin today with a lesson taken from the ABE Ministry * Primer;
Some believe their progenitors were Gorillas in the mist
Some believe in life from nothing; we call them atheists.
Others trust the Bible; they believe Genesis is not a myth,
While boxers with broken teeth threaten others with their fyths
The great Dom Prosper Gueranger writing in The Liturgical Year for Monday within the Octave of the Ascension observes:
Add to this joy these heavenly spirits must have experienced at seeing the immense multitude that accompanied Jesus from earth to heaven. These, according to their respective merits, were divided among the various choirs, and placed on thrones left vacant by the fallen angels. Their bodies are not yet united to their souls, but is not their flesh already glorified in that of Jesus?
When the time fixed for the general resurrection comes, the trumpet of the great archangel will be heard and then these happy souls will again put on their ancient vesture, the mortal made immortal.
Then will the holy angels, with fraternal enthusiasm, recognise in Adam's features a likeness of Jesus, and in Eve a likeness of Mary, and the the resemblance will even be greater than it was when our first parents were innocent and happy in the garden of Eden.
Put that in your materialistic pipe and smoke it.
