Ascension Prayer

Lord Jesus, during this joyful Easter season, we commemorate your glorious Ascension to the right hand of the Father, which signifies the ultimate fulfillment of your victory over death. We are grateful that you do not abandon us as orphans, for you continue to be with us until the culmination of time. Let us always rejoice in the various ways you remain present among us: through the Eucharist, your sacred Word, in our fellow believers, and through your chosen ministers. May our response to your abiding presence be rooted in our commitment to follow your commandments, especially the call to love one another as you have loved us.Amen.
