Collects and Readings: Sixth Sunday in Easter

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 towards 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.

Ascension Day

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 abides with his Church on earth, even to 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 as we do
believe thy only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ to have
ascended into heaven, so we may also in heart and mind
thither ascend, and with him continually dwell; who liveth
and reigneth with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world
without end. Amen.
