Enlighten, strengthen, and save
O Christ,
You ascended in glory on the Mount of Olives in the presence of your disciples.
you who penetrate all things with your divinity,
you were enthroned at the right hand of your Father
and sent down upon your disciples the Holy Spirit
who enlightens, strengthens, and saves our souls.
Amen.
