Ascension of Jesus

Yesterday, 21May 2009, Christian celebrated the Ascension Day. The day when Jesus ascended to heaven in the presence of his apostles following his resurrection and that in heaven he sits at the Father's right hand. In Gospel of John, it refers Jesus returning to the Father in heaven. Christ's ascension occurs in the original Nicene Creed, a touchstone of Christian orthodoxy since 325.

It is affirmed by Christian liturgy and, in the West, by the Apostles' Creed. In terms of belief, the Ascension implies Jesus' humanity being taken into Heaven. The canonical account of Jesus ascending bodily into the clouds contrasts with the gnostic tradition, by which Jesus was said to transcend the physical realm and return to his home in the spirit world. It also contrasts with Docetic beliefs, by which matter is intrinsically evil and Jesus was said to have been pure spirit.

The Ascension edicule

The place of the Ascension is not distinctly mentioned in the Gospel of Mark. Luke 24,50 states that the event took place in Bethany while it appears from Acts that it took place on the Mount Olivet (the "Mount of Olives"), since after the Ascension the apostles are described as returning to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day's journey. Tradition has consecrated this site as the Mount of Ascension.

The Ascension rock, inside the edicule, said to bear the imprint of Jesus' right foot.

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

He had no army, yet kings feared Him..


He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. ?
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ
Sculptured from metal by a man near Amarillo, TX. ?
The crosses are made of metal also.
The man did this out of the kindness of his heart.
Someone donated the land
On which to erect them.

Exam oh exam...

When I wrote this post, there are 7 hours left for students to enter the examination hall. Mostly students very busy past few weeks preparing themselves for the battle. This crucial time is devoted for revision and praying.

power plant technology revision stuff

Some are still nervous. Some still smiling. The best thing I discovered was some student playing counter strike to ease their tension. Macam- macam ada...

Here a prayer you should recite before answering the question paper.

Last but not least, PRAY HARD, STUDY SMART...

Divine Mercy.

19 April 2009 is Divine Mercy Sunday. What is divine mercy????

The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about God’s mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread.

Devotion to The Divine Mercy involves a total commitment to God as Mercy. It is a decision to trust completely in Him, to accept His mercy with thanksgiving, and to be merciful as He is merciful.
The devotional practices proposed in the diary of SaintFaustina and set forth in this website are completely inaccordance with the teachings of the Church and are firmly rooted in the Gospel message of our Merciful Savior.Properly understood and implemented, they will help us grow as genuine followers of Christ.

There are two scriptural verses that we should keep in mind as we involve ourselves in these devotional practices:

1. "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me" (Is 29:13);

2. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Mt5:7).

During the course of Jesus' revelations to Saint Faustina on the Divine Mercy He asked on numerous occasions that a feast day be dedicated to the Divine Mercy and that this feast be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. The liturgical texts of that day, the 2nd Sunday of Easter, concern the institution of the Sacrament of Penance, the Tribunal of the Divine Mercy, and are thus already suited to the request of Our Lord.
