FERIA QUINTA IN ASCENSIONE DOMINI
Ascension of the Lord
1st Class, White


Oremus.

Concéde, quæsumus, omnípotens Deus : ut, qui hodiérna die Unigénitum tuum Redemptórem nostrum ad cælos ascendísse crédimus; ipse quoque mente in cæléstibus habitémus. Per eúmdem Dóminum.

Let us pray.

Grant, we beseech thee, Almighty God : that like as we do believe thine only-begotten Son our Saviour to have ascended into the heavens; so we may also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with him continually dwell. Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity.

NOTE: at the principal Mass the Paschal Candle is extinguished at the end of the Gospel and removed at the end of Mass.
