To learn about Rogation Days, consider listening to this Rector's Weekly Message from 2011.

That we should remember to be thankful for, and good stewards of, the earth on these three days before Ascension Day makes a good deal of sense. After all, on Ascension Day we commemorate Christ's ascent to the right hand of the Father, thereby leaving us to go forth throughout the world, and (among other things) to care for the world.

So Rogation Days remind us of our placement in time and space, and prepare us for the physical absence of Christ, who will come again, but who for the present moment is not with us in the way he once was. He has sent the Comforter to guide us in our work, and Christ remains with in the Eucharist, and the Father provides all we need, the Father and Christ remain accessible to us through prayer. Yet, the work we have been given is for us to do, and it is very much tied to our lives as physical creatures in time and space. Therefore, Ascension Day, and these Rogation Days leading up to Ascension Day, ground us.

On Mondays through Saturdays at 12pm we offer prayers at the shrine of Our Lady of Fifth Avenue that include the traditional recitation of the Angelus, prayers from the diocesan and Anglican cycle, and intercessions. Shrine prayers, and the daily Mass that follows, are audio livestreamed and then available on-demand.

You can leave us your own intercessions online (using the link below) or in the church itself. Names can also be added to the prayer list by purchasing a digital candle. Finally, we invite those of you who listen to this service online to make an act of spiritual communion, the text of which you can access below along with shrine prayer and candle lighting requests.

    My Jesus,

    I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
    I love you above all things,
    and I desire to receive you into my soul.
    Since I cannot at this moment
    receive you sacramentally,
    come at least spiritually into my heart.
    I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
    Never permit me to be separated from you.
    Amen.
