Summary/Abstract: The Risen Christ reveals the love of God the Father and reveals himself as His belovedSon. In Him, every man is accepted by God. Ascension is the next step in the mission ofChrist, which completes in His return to the Father. In Him man returns to his Father. Theexaltation of Christ is already made on Calvary. Through the cross Son opens the door toFather’s house for His brothers. Acending to the heaven, Christ does not leave the disciplesand foretells the coming of the Holy Spirit. That is why the Apostles after the Ascensiondid not suffer sorrow, but they glorifi ed God and expected the Paraclete. The presenceof the Master of Nazareth took on another dimension, a new form. Through the HolySpirit, Jesus still reveals the Father to the disciples, this is done especially in the Eucharist.
