Where Was Jesus Between Resurrection and Ascension?

Jesus spent his post-Resurrection period on earth ministering to his apostles and other disciples.  This can be seen in various biblical accounts, including John 20—21, Luke 24, Matthew 28, Mark 16, and Acts 1.

The 40-day formation period between the Resurrection and Ascension inspired the Church to use this period for new Catholics, who typically come into the Church at Easter, to deepen their formation. It’s called Mystagogy, which typically extends the RCIA period until Pentecost.

Jesus reigns with the Father in heaven and yet, because of his omnipotence, is able to remain with us (Matt. 28:20), most profoundly in the Sacrifice of the Mass, which we offer prayerfully in remembrance of him (Luke 22:19-20).
