The ascension, Father Boniface emphasizes, is a consequence of the resurrection, representing Jesus' entry into divine glory and the fulfillment of his salvific mission.
Throughout the conversation, Joe and Father Boniface explore the profound implications of Jesus' post-resurrection interactions with his disciples, highlighting his respect for human freedom and his invitation to personal encounter and faith. They reflect on the importance of embracing curiosity and questioning in the journey of faith, recognizing that God desires authentic and free responses from his creatures.
