THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD (B) - May 20, 2012
Acts 1: 1-11; Psalm 47; Ephesians 1: 17-23 - (Ephesians 4: 1-13); Mark 16:15-20
Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run.
From today’s Acts of the Apostles reading:
When they had gathered together they asked [Jesus],

"Surely the time for Christ to return in his fulness is now!" we exclaim. We do not know "the times or seasons," but until Christ does return our lives are to reflect his holiness.

Prayer for Protection of Conscience Rights
Father, we praise you and thank you for your most precious gifts of human life and human freedom.
Touch the hearts of our lawmakers with the wisdom and courage to uphold conscience rights and religious liberty for all. Protect all people from being forced to violate their moral and religious convictions.
In your goodness, guard our freedom to live out our faith and to follow you in all that we do. Give us strength to be bold and joyful witnesses.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
