1. ASCENSION DAY
The 9 days between Ascension Day and the Feast of Pentecost can be
set aside in special prayer for the forthcoming Lambeth Conference
and for the Anglican Communion. The following prayer can be used
daily:
Heavenly Father, you have called us in the Body of your Son
Jesus Christ to continue his work of reconciliation and reveal you
to the world: forgive us our sins which tear us apart; give us the
courage to overcome our fears and to seek that unity which is your
gift and your will; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is
alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God
now and forever.

ALMIGHTY God and most merciful Father, who, of thine infinite

to be our Redeemer, and the Author of everlasting life; who, after
that he had made perfect our redemption by his death, and was
ascended into heaven, poured down his gifts abundantly upon men,
making some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Pastors
and Doctors, to the edifying and making perfect his Church; Grant,
we beseech thee, to this thy servant, such grace, that he may
evermore be ready to spread abroad thy Gospel, the glad tidings of
reconciliation with thee; and use the authority given him, not to
destruction, but to salvation; not to hurt, but to help: so that, as
a wise and faithful servant, giving to thy family their portion in
due season, he may at last be received into everlasting joy; through
the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who, with thee and the Holy Ghost,
liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen
