Vigil of Ascension – old and new
Novus OrdoAscension of the Lord — May 6, 2027, May 25, 2028
Deus, cuius Filus hodie in caelos, Apostolis astantibus, ascendit, concede nobis, quaesumus, ut secundum eius promissionem et ille nobiscum semper in terris et nos cum eo in caelo vivere mereamur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, whose Son today ascended into the heavens as the Apostles were standing close by, grant us, we beseech You, that, according to His promise, we may be worthy both that He lives with us on earth, and that we live with Him in heaven.
