Prayers and Intercessions
Collect of the Day | Ascension Day

Grant, we pray, Almighty God, that as we believe your only-begotten Son our
Lord Jesus Christ to have ascended into heaven, so we may also in heart and
mind there ascend, and with him continually dwell; who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
For All Sorts and Conditions
O God, the creator and preserver of all, we humbly beseech you for all sorts
and conditions of people; that you would be pleased to make your ways known
unto them, your saving health unto all nations. More especially we pray for your
holy Church universal; that it may be so guided and governed by your good Spirit,
that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth,
and hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life.
Finally, we commend to your fatherly goodness all those who are in any ways afflicted
or distressed, in mind, body, or estate; that it may please you to comfort and relieve
them according to their several necessities, giving them patience under their sufferings,
and a happy issue out of all their afflictions. And this we beg for Jesus Christ's sake.
Amen.

Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus forever and ever. Amen.     
Ephesians 3:20,21
