 Ascension

Through thy dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who after his glorious resurrection manifestly appeared to his  disciples; and in their sight ascended into heaven, to prepare  a place for us; that where he is, there we might also be, and  reign with him in glory.

Pentecost

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; according to whose true promise the Holy Ghost came down [on this day] from  heaven, lighting upon the disciples, to teach them and to lead  them into all truth; uniting peoples of many tongues in the  confession of one faith, and giving to thy Church the power  to serve thee as a royal priesthood, and to preach the Gospel  to all nations.

Prefaces for Other Occasions

Trinity Sunday

For with thy co&#8209;eternal Son and Holy Spirit, thou art one God, one Lord, in Trinity of Persons and in Unity of Substance;  and we celebrate the one and equal glory of thee, O Father,  and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

All Saints

Who, in the multitude of thy saints, hast compassed us about with so great a cloud of witnesses, that we, rejoicing in their  fellowship, may run with patience the race that is set before  us; and, together with them, may receive the crown of glory  that fadeth not away.
