Pentecost Prayer

God of Comfort and Life,
you sent your Holy Spirit
in wind and fire at Pentecost,
empowering the disciples
to proclaim with boldness
your love in Christ,
giving birth to your church.

May the fire of the Spirit
purify our hearts and minds
to show forth the fruit of your Spirit.

May the fire of the Spirit
ignite our lives
with zeal for your kingdom.

May the fire of the Spirit
provoke in us a passion
to pray and proclaim your love in Christ.
May the fire of the Spirit
set our hearts on fire
with love and adoration for you, our God. Amen.

Bishop John Harrower
