Ascension

“They were looking intently up into the sky

as he was going, when suddenly two men

dressed in white stood beside them.

“Men of Galilee,” they said,

“why do you stand here looking into the sky?

This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven,

will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

Ways of the Lord

nature

“Good and upright is the LORD;

therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

He guides the humble in what is right

and teaches them his way.

 

All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful

for those who keep the demands of his covenant.

For the sake of your name, O LORD,

forgive my iniquity, though it is great.”

“To him who is able to keep you from falling

and to present you before his glorious presence

without fault and with great joy–

to the only God our Savior

be glory, majesty, power and authority,

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”
