Liturgy of the Word
First Reading - Acts 1:1-11
In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit
to the apostles whom he had chosen.
He presented himself alive to them
by many proofs after he had suffered,
appearing to them during forty days
and speaking about the kingdom of God.
While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem,
but to wait for “the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water,
but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
When they had gathered together they asked him,
“Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?
This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 47
R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy. A blare of trumpets for the LORD.
All you peoples, clap your hands, shout to God with cries of gladness!
For the LORD, the Most High, is the great king over all the earth.
R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy. A blare of trumpets for the LORD.
God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy; the LORD amid trumpet blasts.
Sing praise to our God, to God sing praise; sing praise to our king, sing praise.
R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy. A blare of trumpets for the LORD.
For king of all the earth is God; sing hymns of praise.
God reigns over the nations, God sits upon his holy throne.
R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy. A blare of trumpets for the LORD.
music by C. Alcott
Second Reading - Eph. 1:17-23
Brothers and sisters:
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power
for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might: which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And he put all things beneath his feet
and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
(please stand)
Gospel Acclamation
R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Go and teach all nations, says the Lord;
I am with you always, until the end of the world.
R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel - Luke 24:46-53
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Luke.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while making a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.
And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city
until you are clothed with power from on high.”
Then he led them out as far as Bethany,
raised his hands, and blessed them.
As he blessed them he parted from them and was taken up to heaven.
They did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and they were continually in the temple praising God.
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Liturgy of the Eucharist
Offertory Hymn - 574 - Crown Him with Many Crowns
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but it's own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who set us free,
And hail Him as your heavenly King
Through all eternity.
Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
Crown Him the Lord of love,
Behold His hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of peace,
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
And all be prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end,
And round His pierc-èd feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
Crown him the Lord of years,
The master of all time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
And risen Lord sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For you have dies for me;
Your praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.
Text: Revelation 19:12; St. 1, 3-5, Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; st. 2, Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903

Communion Hymn - At the Name of Jesus
At the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess him
King of Glory now.
’Tis the Father’s pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
Humbled for a season
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners
Unto which he came.
Faithfully he bore it,
Spotless to the last;
Brought it back victorious
When through death he passed.
Bore it up triumphant
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father’s breast,
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
In your hearts enthrone him,
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true.
Crown him as your Captain
In temptation’s hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and pow’r.
Jesus, Lord and Savior,
Shall return again,
With His Father’s glory
O’er the earth to reign.
For all wreaths of Empire
Meet upon his brow;
Let our hearts confess him
King of Glory now.
