Sunday

Every Sunday is a little Easter, the Lord’s Day, when the Church gathers for the Eucharist. Ordinary Time (from “ordinal,” counted weeks) follows the public life and teaching of Jesus, week by week.

Glorious Mysteries

Second Mystery: The Ascension

The Ascension card
“When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.”Acts 1:9

Forty days after His Resurrection, Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to His apostles and ascends into heaven, where He is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Fruit of the mystery: Hope

The Our Father

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name; your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
