Sunday after Ascension Day - 2018



Sunday after Ascension-Day.
Ephesians 3.14-21
Flecto genua mea
I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, * of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, * to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; * that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints * what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, * that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, * according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus * throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

The Collect.
O GOD the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven; We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone before, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
