A Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come spirit of God, grant us the power to be gentle,
the strength to be forgiving, the patience to be understanding,
the endurance to accept the consequences of holding on to what is right.
Come Spirit of God, help us to put our trust
in the power of good to overcome evil,
the power of love to overcome hatred.

Reading:
The Spirit helps us in our weakness for we do not know how to pray
as we ought but the Spirit makes intercessions for us
with groanings that cannot be expressed in speech.
God who searches the heart knows what the Spirit means,
for the Spirit intercedes for the saints as God wills.
Romans 8:26-27
A Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come Spirit of God, enlighten us
with the vision to see and the faith to believe in
a world free from violence,
a new world where fear will no longer lead us
to commit injustices,
nor selfishness cause us to bring suffering to others.
Come Spirit of wisdom and love,
Source of all good,
teach us your truth
and guide our actions
in your way of peace. Amen

Prayer: A Pentecost Sequence
Come, Spirit who is our Light.
Shine among the shadows within.
Warm and transform our hearts.
Come, Spirit who makes a home is us.
Draw us to the treasures of your dwelling.
Reveal to us the inner journey of love.
Come, Spirit, Comforter and Consoler.
Heal the wounded. Soothe the anxious.
Be consolation for all who grieve and ache.
Come, Spirit who energizes our being.
Keep us from the tangles of toil and travail.
Lead us to moments of prayer and play.
Come, Spirit, consuming Fire of Love.
Fill us with enthusiasm for your vision.
May the desire for truth be vibrant in us.
Come, Spirit, joy of our souls.
Dance amid life’s hills and valleys,
Encircle us with the delights of your dance.
Come, Spirit of wisdom and insight.
Draw us toward your goodness and light.
Direct our growth and guide our ways.
Come, Spirit, strength of wounded ones.
Be warmth in hearts of those grown cold.
Empower the powerless. Rekindle the weary.
Come, Spirit, source of our Peace.
Deepen in us the action of peacemakers.
Heal the divisions that ravage the earth.
