Prayer for the week

O Lord, King of glory,

when you fulfilled all that the prophets had

spoken about you, you ascended to your

Father’s throne, and opened the kingdom of

heaven to all believers.

While you reign in heaven,

do not let us be weighed down by earthly

things, but keep our hearts looking forward

where are Redeemer has gone before;

through your mercy, O our God,

you are blessed, and live and govern all things,

now and forever. Amen.
