Feast of the Ascension of our Lord: In his human body, the Lord returned to the glory he has at the right hand of his Father on high. In this way, he lifts our human nature to deification and is enthroned as the High Priest who has suffered human death, yet is risen for the sake of human life. We glorify the Lord and await his coming again in glory.
Kontakion, Tone 6: When you fulfilled the plan of salvation for us, and united all things on earth to those in heaven, O Christ our God, you ascended in glory, never leaving us, but remaining ever-present. For you proclaimed to those who love you: I am with you and no one else has power over you.
