This Word on Fire Minute is brought to you by Advantage Futures. As Catholics, we must take advantage of new technology to spread the faith.

Wordonfire.org is on the front lines, featuring the work of one of the Church's best messengers, Father Robert Barron.

At Wordonfire.org, you'll find inspirational podcasts, videos, audio sermons, books, DVDs, and the Catholicism Project.

It is one of the most ambitious efforts ever to promote the Catholic faith to the world.

Catholicism is Father Barron's global documentary series, filmed in high definition, and now in production for TV and DVD.

Father Barron series will illustrate the beauty and depth of the Church and explain the Catholic faith on our own terms.

It will be an exciting new way for families, parishes, and schools to teach Catholicism.

Preview the production, join our email list, and contribute to the Catholicism Project at WordonFire.org.

This is Cardinal Francis George. I invite you to join me for the next few minutes to reflect the Father Robert Barron on the Word of God, which is the Wordonfire.

Wordonfire Catholic Ministries is a nonprofit ministry at the forefront of Catholic evangelization, using new media to spread the faith and every continent.

Father Barron challenges us to open our hearts to the Wordonfire, which is God's Word of Love for each of us.

If our hearts are open, the Lord can change and transform us so that we might speak with love about the one who is love.

The global benefactors of Wordonfire with the support of the Archdiocese of Chicago now present WordonFire.

Peace be with you.

First of all, the Ascension celebrates the fact that Jesus, sometime after his resurrection, entered a new and higher dimension of existence.

Now, don't think of the Ascension primarily in spatial terms, as though Jesus is now in outer space somewhere.

Think of a triangle that's become a pyramid.
