Christ Ascends to Heaven (Giotto)
Ascension Prayer
In joy of spirit let us
acclaim Christ, who sits at the right hand of the Father:
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
King of glory, you took with you our frail humanity to be glorified in
heaven: Remove the sins of the world, and restore us to the innocence
which was ours before the Fall.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
You came down from heaven on a pilgrimage of love: Grant that we may
take the same path to your presence.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
You promised to draw all things to yourself: Do not allow any one of us
to be separated from your body.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
Where you have gone before us in glory: May we follow you in mind and
heart.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of glory.
Today you promised the Spirit to your apostles, to make them your
witnesses to the ends of the earth: By the power of the Spirit
strengthen our own witness.
Lord Jesus, you are
the King of glory.
