Tomorrow, Thursday 10th May we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Lord ; as we celebrate this beautiful Feast, we remember the promise and invitation of the Lord, the promise is the Gift of the Holy Spirit, the invitation was to return to Jerusalem and await this promised gift. The Church invites us to wait and pray, may we do so with Pope John XXlll’s ‘lnvocation’ Prayer:
‘Renew Your wonders in this our day,
as by a new Pentecost.
Grant to Your Church that,
Being of one mind and steadfast in prayer with Mary,
the Mother of Jesus, and following the
lead of blessed Peter,
it may advance the reign of our Divine Saviour,
the reign of truth
and justice, the reign of love and peace.
