Messiah -
You fulfill everything written about You in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms. Open our minds, so we may understand the Scripture.
You suffered and rose from the dead, and we are witnesses of these things. Clothe us with Your power from on high, so we may proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations.
You lead us out to bless us - a blessing that pulls us to worship. Return us to our lives with great joy, so we may we continually bless Your name.
In the name of the One who was carried into heaven, we pray.
Amen.
(This week’s texts and prayers honor the Ascension of the Lord.)
Pray the Lectionary will resume on Monday, May 24 after a brief break.
