Second Glorious Mystery: The Ascension
While they were speaking of this, he himself stood in the midst of them, and said, "Peace be upon you; it is myself, do not be afraid." They cowered down, full of terror, thinking that they were seeing an apparition. "What," he said to them, "are you dismayed? Whence come these surmises in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, to be assured that it is myself; touch me, and look; a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see that I have." And as he spoke thus, he shewed them his hands and his feet... "And behold, I am sending down upon you the gift which was promised by my Father; you must wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
When he had led them out as far as Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them; and even as he blessed them he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
- St. Luke 24:36-40 & 49-51 Knox Version
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
