 Seventh Sunday of Easter: The Sunday after Ascension Day

O God, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven:  We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless, but send to us  thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same  place whither our Savior Christ is gone before; who liveth  and reigneth with thee and the same Holy Ghost, one God,  world without end. Amen.

Preface of the Ascension

The Day of Pentecost: Whitsunday

Almighty God, who on this day didst open the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of thy Holy  Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the  preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the  earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth  with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, for ever  and ever. Amen.

O God, who on this day didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people by sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit: Grant  us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and  evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of  Christ Jesus our Savior, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in  the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
