Blessed Ascension Day!
As we reflect on Acts 1:8-11, which recounts Jesus' Ascension, it's clear that the experience would have been uniquely challenging for blind or sight-impaired disciples, who would have leaned heavily on the testimonies of fellow disciples.
Similarly, though each of us today weren't present to witness the Ascension, we draw strength from the original witnesses' accounts, which bring us deeper in our faith.
The scriptures detailing Jesus' life, death, resurrection, ascension, and return are a testament to the power of faith. Just as alternative formats of scripture in braille, large print, or audio empower the blind and sight-impaired, these testimonies inspire and uplift us all.
Lutheran Braille Workers provides free resources in alternative formats, accessible by emailing [email protected] , going to our website (www.LBWLoveWorks.org) or calling 1-909-795-8977.
May this Ascension Day bring blessings as we “live by faith, not by sight.”
We are thrilled to announce that Lutheran Braille Workers (LBW) has been awarded a $4.45 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to launch “Songs of Faith, Stories of Light.”
