Prayer for Ascensiontide
A prayer to lift our hearts and spirits above the mundane, the trials and tribulations of life.
Risen, Ascending Christ, you are the song of God leaping through the universe; you are the lark ascending, drawing our praises up and beyond this passing day.
You are the sailor back from the sea, returning to your beginning with earth's human treasure.
You are the warrior home safe from war, your scars and our pain are now with God.
You are the first-born claiming your heritage, promising a home for pilgrims who travel the Way.
We celebrate with joy a journey over, a accomplished, a promise fulfilled.
To you our Christ, be glory and gladness for ever.
Amen.
