Ascension of the Lord

My Ascended Lord, forty days after You rose from the dead You ascended to the right hand of the Father in Heaven, taking up Your throne from which You pour forth both judgment and mercy.

As we honor this great mystery of Your divine and human life, I beg for mercy upon me and upon the whole world.

Free us from all sin, and open the floodgates of Your mercy so that all people will share one day, body and soul, in the glory of Your Beatific Vision.
