A young man wasted his first year and his parent's money at college. As a result, he flunked out. To soften the blow to his father, he emailed this message to his mother, "Flunked out Prepare Father." She emailed back, "Father prepared. Prepare yourself."

Kontakion - Tone 6

When you had fulfilled the plan of salvation for us and united the earthly with the heavenly, you were taken up in glory, O Christ our God. Never parting from us but remaining constantly, you proclaim to those who love you: I am with you and no on can be against you.

Troparion - Tone 4

You were taken up in glory, O Christ our God; you gladdened the disciples with the promise of the Holy Spirit. By blessing them you confirmed that you are the Son of God, the Redeemer of the World.

Be Exhalted Above the Heavens, O God, And Let Your Glory Be Over All the Earth
