The Hardest Goodbye
May 27, 2022 | By Raquel Sequeira TD ’21.5
Over the past few years, I’ve been learning more about the traditional Church calendar. I learned from my audio devotional that today (Thursday, May 26, 2022) is the Feast of the Ascension: the day we celebrate Jesus’ return from life here on Earth to his Father in heaven. I’m not sure how we’re supposed to feel on Ascension Day, but I find that this remembrance is making me profoundly sad.
And Also With You
By Jason Lee, TD ‘22. Jason is majoring in Global Affairs.
When I say “I do not want to lose you,” entwined with this terror is the fearful and therefore selfish desire to keep the other as I know them, to confine them to this space where I know how to best love them and from which I know they can continue to love me. And since God is love, what I am saying is this: I am sure that God is here. I fear He will not be where we are going.
