This litany follows the Lectionary readings for the last Sunday before Pentecost, Year A; in particular the account of Christ’s ascension in Acts 1 and his promise of the Spirit as Comforter and Guide. As we live inside this liminal space of Now and Not Yet, of Christ-has-come-and-is-coming from within us, we pray...
Christ, we imagine those first moments after your ascension into heaven
Leaving the disciples behind.
We can imagine and feel their confusion, their sense of loss -
Their loneliness (1).
