O Lord, wishing to fulfill the mystery of Your economy, You took Your Disciples up to the Mount of Olives, and behold, You departed for the firmament of Heaven, You Who had become poor for me, and You were lifted up, therefore, You did not leave us, but You sent down Your All-Holy Spirit, to enlighten our souls.
