 * Ed: Some dioceses (the ecclesiastical provinces of Boston, Hartford, New York, Newark, Omaha, and Philadelphia) still retain the feast of Ascension on Thursday, as it was in tradition, and therefore on Sunday they will use the readings from the Seventh Sunday of Easter. Most others have the Ascension feast on Sunday, and they will use the Ascension readings instead of those from the Seventh Sunday. Moreover, there are several possible second readings for Ascension.
