Thursday 21st May

While he was blessing them,he left them and was taken up to heaven.

Then they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

Almighty God,

Your ascended Son has sent us into the world

to preach the good news of your kingdom.

Inspire us as we wait for your Spirit

and fill our hearts with the fire of your love,

that all who hear your word may be drawn to you.

Show us how to be ‘fire starters’ in our areas of influence,

that your kingdom may come

on earth as in heaven.

Amen
