WDTPRS – 7th Sunday of Easter: Ascended but still present
Novus Ordo7th Sunday of Easter — May 9, 2027, May 28, 2028
Supplicationibus nostris, Domine, adesto propitius, ut, sicut humani generis Salvatorem tecum in tua credimus maiestate, ita eum usque ad consummationem saeculi manere nobiscum, sicut ipse promisit, sentiamus.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Graciously give attention to our supplications, O Lord, so that, just as we believe the Savior of human kind is, in your majesty, with you, we thus may sense him, just as he promised, to be remaining with us all the way unto the consummation of the world.
I won’t acknowledge Ascension Thursday Sunday. Yesterday was the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord and Sunday is, in the Ordinary Form, the 7th Sunday of Easter. Let’s look at the Collect for the 7th Sunday of Easter. There is a spiffy parallelism here in sicut… tecum and ita… nobiscum.
