O Lord, you are the eternal Essence of things. You span space and time, and yet you are within them. You transcend all things and yet you pervade everything. Manifest yourself to us who grope toward you and seek you in the shadows of ignorance. Extend your hand to guide us, for we cannot come to you without your help. Reveal yourself to us, for we desire nothing else but you. Amen

O King of Glory and Lord of all power, on this day you triumphed and ascended above the heavens. Do not leave us as orphans, but send down on us, from the Father, the Spirit of truth whom you have promised. Amen
