The last Collect.
Lord Jesus Christ, who didst vouchsafe, after Thy resurrection, to converse forty days with Thy disciples, and instruct them in all the mysteries of faith; teach me, I beseech Thee, to live according to Thy doctrine, and never to swerve in the least from Thy will. Amen.
The last Dominus Vobiscum.
Lord Jesus Christ, who after the term of forty days didst ascend glorious into heaven, in the sight of Thy disciples; grant that my heart may, for Thy love, loathe all earthly things, attend only to eternal, and pant, hunger, and thirst after Thee. Amen.
The Gospel of St. John.
Lord Jesus Christ, who didst send the Holy Ghost upon Thy disciples, when they did continue praying; cleanse, I beseech Thee, my heart from all sin, that the same Holy Ghost may always dwell in it by His manifold gifts, and my soul be everlastingly comforted. Amen.
