Here’s a thoughtful litany on the significance of
Ascension Day (May 29) from Christine Sine’s Godspace website.
Litany for Ascension Day
Because Jesus ascended and
sits at the right hand of God,
a new world has broken into ours—
a world
in which justice does come for the poor,
freedom
comes for the prisoners,
and
healing for the sick.
Because Jesus ascended and
sits at the right hand of God,
a new community has been formed—
a
community that loves and cares for all members,
a
family that welcomes all who are abandoned and rejected,
a place
where all find a place of belonging.
Because Jesus
ascended and sits at the right hand of God,
a new creation has begun—
all
that was distorted is being restored,
all
that is corrupted is being renewed,
all
that was broken is being made whole.
Because Jesus ascended and
sits at the right hand of God,
God’s new world has begun.
