 Sixth Sunday of Easter

O God, who hast prepared for those who love thee such good things as pass man’s understanding: Pour into our  hearts such love toward thee, that we, loving thee in all  things and above all things, may obtain thy promises, which  exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord,  who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one  God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Preface of Easter

Ascension Day

O Almighty God, whose blessed Son our Savior Jesus Christ ascended far above all heavens that he might fill all things:  Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his  promise, he abideth with his Church on earth, even unto the  end of the ages; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who  liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, in  glory everlasting. Amen.

Grant, we beseech thee, Almighty God, that like as we do believe thy only&#8209;begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ to have  ascended into the heavens, so we may also in heart and mind  thither ascend, and with him continually dwell; who liveth  and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world  without end. Amen.
