The Ascension of the Lord
YOU WILL TAKE US TO YOUR HOME
Lord Jesus Christ, I praise you as we commemorate your return to your Father’s home to assume the glory you had before you came among us a baby. May we always look upward in hope, waiting for the day when you will return to your world, where death and sadness will be no more. Let your Holy Spirit always remind us that you have won the victory in which we all share and that one day you will take us to your home, never again to part from you and those whom we have loved while here on earth. Amen.
