Lord Jesus Christ, who has returned to the Father in Heaven, may our hearts be filled with joy at your reunion with the Father, trusting that one day we will likewise be taken up to be with you and share in even greater and unending joy in your presence, through you who reigns over all things with the Father and Holy Spirit in glory, world without end. Amen.
‘While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple blessing God.’ – Luke 24:51-53
