Solemnity of the Ascension
Acts 1:1-11; Psalm 47:2-9; Ephesians 1:17-23; Mt 28:16-20
ascending
to God’s desire
for love
and peace
upon the earth
we embrace
the Holy Spirit
who enables us
to carry on
our work
with the eyes
of our hearts
enlightened
and the hope
of His call
within us
so grateful
for His Presence
we are filled
with joy
leaving behind
despair
Where is your hope?
Are the eyes of your heart enlightened?
