Ascension of the Lord

Today's Psalm Verse is:
"God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord."
Ps 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9

Saint Christopher Magallanes and Companions (d. 1915-1928)
Saint Christopher Magallanes, a priest, and his 24 companions, martyrs, who, persecuted in diverse jurisdictions of Mexico out of hatred for the name of Christian and the Catholic Church, attained the crown of martyrdom. All of these martyrs belonged to the Cristero movement, pledging their allegiance to Christ and to the Church that he established to spread the Good News in society — even if Mexico's leaders once made it a crime to receive Baptism or celebrate the Mass.
