Ascension Day Post Communion (Redub)

-->

God of heaven and earth,

you have lived a human life,

and sat and eaten with us.

You have seen the night sky

like we see it.

You have seen the love of eternity,

like us, through a glass, dimly.

Help us to see the world and

its peoples with your eyes.

Amen.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.
