The Ascension is one of the more complex events to understand. But the aspect I am reflecting on today is the fact that it visibly expresses the Father's acceptance of the Son's sacrifice, thus completing it.
This is clearly in line with the pattern in the Old Testament; and also, as Fr Hunwicke pointed out recently, with the theology of the Roman Canon (in contrast with the new Eucharistic Prayers composed in the 1960s ff).
