Walking Along: Ascension

Ascension

Today the feast of the Ascension is celebrated in Spain. It is celebrated on Sunday in the U. S.

Jesus urged his disciples to remain in Jerusalem and pray for the Holy Spirit from God. Thus began the first novena. Considering all the troubles in the Church, may we pray all the more fervently for the Spirit to purify, heal and bless the Church.

Come, o Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful. Enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created and You will renew the face of the earth. Amen.

Pilgrim Prayer

O God, who brought your servant Abraham

out of the land of the Chaldeans,

protecting him in his wanderings,

who guided the Hebrew people across the desert,

we ask that you watch over us, your servants,

as we walk in the love of your name

to Santiago de Compostela.

Be for us our companion on the walk,
Our guide at the crossroads,
Our breath in our weariness,
Our protection in danger,
Our albergue on the Camino,
Our shade in the heat,
Our light in the darkness,
Our consolation in our discouragements,
And our strength in our intentions.

So that with your guidance we may arrive

safe and sound at the end of the Road

and enriched with grace and virtue

we return safely to our homes filled with joy.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Apostle Santiago, pray for us.
Santa Maria, pray for us.
