Watch Fr. Ambrose Little's Veritas 2025 keynote, "Why Study? Wonder as the Gateway to Contemplation," and register for Veritas 2026: Study and Sanctity, below.
"The intellect and will, the mind and heart, come together in intellectual vision. We call this type of activity 'contemplation,' which is the activity of the mind by which we gaze upon a truth, with the intellect, and simply delight in what we see."

Today we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord.
Christ, having conquered sin and death, is lifted up in glory, yet he does not leave us. As he promises, “I am with you always, to the end of time.”
Alleluia.

"Fifthly, because it redounded to man's greater dignity, that as man was overcome and deceived by the devil, so also it should be a man that should overthrow the devil; and as man deserved death, so a man by dying should vanquish death."
