The Fifth Sunday
after Easter (or Rogation Sunday).
Psalm 114. In exitu Israel.
WHEN Israel came out of Egypt, * and the house of Jacob
from among the strange people,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, * and Israel his
dominion.
3 The sea saw that, and fled; * Jordan was driven
back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, * and the little
hills like young sheep.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?
* and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? * and ye
little hills, like young sheep?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord:
* at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Who turned the hard rock into a standing water, *
and the flint-stone into a springing well.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
The Collect.
O LORD, from whom all good things do come; Grant to us thy humble servants, that by thy holy inspiration we may think those things that be good, and by thy merciful guiding may perform the same; through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

A modern custom for Rogation Days has been to focus
prayers and actions toward charity to help feed poor folk. On this page we have
provided three ways to do that: http://orderofcenturions.org/documents/rogation.html
The Ascension-Day.
Psalm 8
Domine, Dominus noster
O LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all
the world; * thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast
thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, * that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, even the work of thy
fingers; * the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? * and
the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 Thou madest him lower than the angels, * to crown
him with glory and worship.
6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy
hands; * and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen; * yea, and the beasts of the
field;
8 The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea;
* and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Governor, * how excellent is thy Name
in all the world!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
The Collect.
GRANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God, that like as we do believe thy only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ to have ascended into the heavens; so we may also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with him continually dwell, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
