Prayers between Ascension and Pentecost
Father:
God ascends amid shouts of joy, Alleluia.
Family:
The Lord, amid trumpet blasts, Alleluia.
Father:
Let us pray.
O King of glory, Lord of hosts,
this day You ascended triumphantly above all
heavens.
Leave us not orphans,
but send upon us the Promise of the Father,
the Spirit of Truth.
Family:
Alleluia.
Father:
Only-begotten Son of God,
having conquered death,
Thou didst pass from earth to heaven!
As Son of Man seated in great glory on Thy throne
and praised by the whole angelic host,
grant that we who in the jubilant devotion of our
faith,
celebrate Thine Ascension to the Father,
may not be fettered by the chains of sin to
earthly loves.
And may the aim of our unceasing prayer
be directed toward the heavens whither,
after Thy Passion,
Thou didst ascend in glory.
Family:
Amen.
