C: We praise you for your victory over sin, death, Satan, and hell.
M: O ascended Prophet, equip your Church to proclaim the precious gospel message of God’s love for all the world.
C: Give courage to our hearts, power to our words, and success to our efforts.
M: O ascended High Priest, represent us before the Father as his own dear children and heirs. Defend us against Satan’s every accusation. Ask for the Father’s rich blessings in our everyday lives.
C: Plead for his mercy and grace on our behalf.
M: O ascended King, direct the affairs of governments and nations that they may serve the best interest of your Church.
