   "Today our Master Christ goes up to his father’s throne; today, he who was   
   incarnated sits down with the Father; not that he was first separated from   
   him, nor that he now sits with him for the first time, for he has always   
   rested in the bosom of the Father, alone containing the Father, and alone   
   contained by the Father. For "I", he said, "am in the Father, and the   
   Father in me"; and the Word is in the Father and the Word is on the earth.   
   Not descending and leaving the Father’s bosom empty, nor ascending into   
   heaven and leaving the earth empty of his presence; but both living   
   together with men, and sitting together with the Father; and both sitting   
   together with the Father, and not separated from men. For "be sure of   
   this", he says, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age."   
      
   St. John Chrysostom, On the Ascension.   
      
   "The humble shall see this and be glad; And you who seek God, your hearts   
   shall live. For the Lord hears the poor, And does not despise His   
   prisoners."  Psalm 69:32-33   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
