The Holy Work of Re-Membering

On Ascension Sunday, we recall Jesus’ ascension to heaven before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The scripture passage is Acts 1:1-14.

In the Leaving
A Blessing

In the leaving,
in the letting go,
let there be this
to hold onto
at the last:

the enduring of love,
the persisting of hope,
the remembering of joy,

the offering of gratitude,
the receiving of grace,
the blessing of peace.
