On this Ascension Sunday, we hear two Scripture readings that seem to be contradictory. In our first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, the Apostles witness Jesus's leaving earth to dwell in the heavenly realms. And in our Gospel from Matthew, Jesus says, "Behold I am with you always until the end of the age." So, presuming both realities are true at the same time, how can Jesus be with the Father in heaven AND be with us always?
