Jesus rose from the dead.  With it He comquered death, defeated Satan, sin, and the world, and gave new life to mankind. The joy of the risen Christ is greater than pain. The hope that comes from HIs resurrection is the victory over our won fear of dying.

     Let us pray in thanksgiving and in praise, giving glory to the ristn Lord. Let us offer to the Triumphant Prince of Peace, all those in despair, those who have lost hope, lost faith; that in the Resurrection of Jesus will be their own future. He is The Way and The Truth and The Life.

     He goes to prepare a place for us, and has returned to The Father, in heaven. And He has promised: Where I am, you can be too. Through His ascension, He has shown us a preview of our life hereafter. The Good Shepherd guides us through the valley of darkness.  

     Let us pray for direction; direction in our lives and for all those who have lost the way; that they may turn back to God.  Let us pray that we might give direction to the children in the world, that Jesus may become their first priority.

      Before His Ascension, Jesus had said, Because I go, the Paraclete will come. The Spirit of God descended upon the apostles.  They were empowered with the special gifts of God, to carry on the Lord's work of redemption.  With them, was Mary, and the other women, praying with the infant Church.  She has never ceased to pray for us and the Church.

     Let us offer these prayers for our own penticost.  For an increase in the Holy Spirit's gifts to us.  We pray for a deeper faith, and trust in God; for a complete submission to the will of God.  Let us pray especially for gifts to the young, that they may be able to stand up to the deception Satan brings to their daily activities.

     Mary is assumed body and soul into heaven.  Reunited with Her Son, Jesus.  Through Her assumption, Mary became the reflection of Her risen Son.  She is also the model of the perfection to which we are called.

     Here let us ask Mary to especially pray with us for the souls in purgatory;  that She might join with us in intercession for those who can no longer help themselves.  Let us pray especially for the souls forgotten, who have no one to remember them.

     Let us offer this mystery for Mary's intentions.  Her intercession, Her constant appearances, Her role as Mediatrix of graces.  Let us pray that Her efforts in our behalf, Her efforts to lead all Her children back to Her Son, will not be impeded.
