Almighty and

you hate nothing that you have made
and
forgive the sins of all those who are penitent:
create and
make in us new and contrite hearts
that we, worthily
lamenting our sins
and acknowledging our wretchedness,
may
receive from you, the God of all mercy,
perfect remission and
forgiveness;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who
is alive and reigns with you,

Grant, we
pray, almighty God,
that as we believe your only-begotten Son
our Lord Jesus Christ
to have ascended into the heavens,
so
we in heart and mind may also ascend
and with him continually
dwell;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of
the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Christ,

where you reign with the Spirit in

God our

you have raised our humanity in Christ
and have
fed us with the bread of heaven:
mercifully grant that,
nourished with such spiritual blessings,
we may set our
hearts in the heavenly places;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O God the
King of glory,
you have exalted your only Son Jesus
Christ
with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven:
we
beseech you, leave us not comfortless,
but send your Holy
Spirit to strengthen us
and exalt us to the place where our
Saviour Christ is gone before,
who is alive and reigns with
you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and
for ever.

ascended Lord,
as we rejoice at your triumph,
fill your
Church on earth with power and compassion,
that all who are
estranged by sin
may find forgiveness and know your peace,
to
the glory of God the Father.
