The Ascension of the Lord
These prayers are also appropriate for the Sunday after Ascension.
Priest:
Let us pray to God, through Jesus Christ His son who was taken up to heaven and intercedes for us at His Father’s right hand.
Reader:
For our holy Father, bishops , clergy, and religious: that through their witness to the Risen Lord they may continue to preach His gospel of love and peace in confidence and faith.
Lord, hear us.
For the world’s leaders:
that they may govern with justice and wisdom in the pursuit of harmony and tolerance.
Lord, hear us.
For those in need, the suffering and oppressed:
That, through the Ascension of Our Lord,
they may be inspired to trust in God’s promise of eternal happiness
Lord, hear us.
For ourselves:
that in our daily lives we may put into practice the teachings of the ascended Lord.
Lord, hear us.
For those who have died:
may they be granted the fullness of life and joy in Heaven.
Lord, hear us.
Let us turn to Our Lady, Mother of Divine Grace, and seek her intercession as we say, Hail Mary
In the solitude of our hearts, we pray for our own needs and Intentions.
Priest:
Loving Father, who exalted your Son Jesus Christ into glory,
grant our prayers
and welcome us to the table of your eternal banquet,
through Christ our Lord. Amen
