Suggested Prayers of the Faithful

Christ ascends into heaven, not to abandon us but to be our hope. Filled with certainty by this glorious event, we pray:

For the Church, that the people of God may live with an ardent hope for heaven.
That the authority of heaven will guide the actions of those who govern on earth.
That Christian husbands and wives be strengthened in their loving commitment to one another, modeling the union of Christ and the Church.
That all believers will witness to the presence of Christ in our midst through generosity, charity, and faithfulness to the Gospel.
That through the grace of the Ascension, we be blessed to keep our minds and hearts fixed on the things of heaven.
For all the faithful departed: that they may enjoy eternal life with Christ, risen from the dead and reigning gloriously in heaven.

Loving Father, because of the Ascension of your Son, our human nature is now at home with you in heaven. May this truth be our lasting encouragement and hope. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
