"Saint Tikhon’s Monastery Press has withdrawn Orthodox Christian Canons and Prayers from sale and distribution. After the book’s release, further editorial, theological, and pastoral review made clear that this volume, in its present form, does not sufficiently meet the standards of pastoral responsibility, source clarity, theological precision, and ascetical sobriety that should accompany any prayer book bearing the name of an Orthodox monastery. Because prayer is at the heart of our monastic life, we believe it is better to acknowledge this humbly, ask forgiveness, and correct course than to continue offering a volume that requires substantial review and revision. We are grateful for the sincere labor that went into the book, and we regret that our review was not sufficient before publication. We are also taking steps to strengthen our review process for future devotional publications. This decision is made out of love for the faithful, fidelity to the Orthodox spiritual tradition, and our desire that Saint Tikhon’s Monastery Press remain a trustworthy witness to Orthodox beauty, prayer, and holiness.

I believe it’s a mix of questionable/confusing translations, alleged latinizations, and very possibly heresy

Ascension of the Lord, Troparion, Tone IV —
Thou didst ascend into glory, O Christ our God, having gladdened Thy disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. And this blessing convinced them that Thou art the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world.

Kontakion, Tone VI —
Having accomplished for us Thy mission and united things on earth with things in heaven, Thou didst ascend into glory, O Christ our God, being nowhere separated from those who love Thee, but remaining everpresent with us and calling: I am with you and no one is against you.
