There is something deeply human in this moment.
A rocket rises from the earth, fire and force beneath it, carrying men and women into the silence above. It is power, precision, and courage. It is also longing.
From the beginning, man has looked upward.
Not only to explore, but to understand. Not only to measure distance, but to ask meaning.
The Artemis mission reminds us that even our most advanced achievements are still expressions of something ancient within us. We are not content to remain only where we are. We are drawn upward.
Yet the greatest ascent is not technological.
The true ascent is spiritual.
While we learn to reach the moon again, we are also called to remember the path that leads beyond all created things. The heavens we explore with instruments point toward the Heaven we seek with the soul.
Man can leave the earth, but he does not leave behind his nature. His questions go with him. His desire for truth goes with him. His longing for God goes with him.
The fire beneath the rocket lifts the body.
Grace lifts the soul.
And only one of these can carry us home.
