The feast of the Ascension is a feast of the Humanity of Christ, confirming that the human nature which our Lord assumed at his incarnation remains united to him for all eternity. This feast reaffirms all that we believe about the incarnation and the sacred humanity of our Savior.
This Sacred Humanity is powerful and effective for us today through the Sacraments of the Church. And the Sacraments have power because all the saving works of Christ's life are contained in his glorified humanity in which he has ascended on high.
Furthermore, it is significant that St Thomas Aquinas discusses devotion to Mary and the Saints precisely in relation to our adoration given to the humanity of Jesus.
