We gather We listen to God’s word We respond We go forth Let us pray that we may recognise the presence of Christ in our midst. (pause) Father most holy, help us remember that Christ our Saviour lives with you in glory and promised to remain with us until the end of time. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke (24:50-53) Jesus led his disciples out to Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. As he was doing this, he left and was taken up to heaven. After his disciples had worshipped him, they returned to Jerusalem and were very happy. They spent their time in the temple, praising God. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Watch this short animated video together produced by Saddleback Kids called “The Ascension of Jesus.” It also tells of the message Jesus gave to his disciples before he was taken to heaven, and looks ahead to the coming of the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus promised. May the peace of Christ dwell in our hearts. Alleluia! Alleluia! May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Friday WEEK 6 EASTER 30 May 2025 88
