Collect:
Gracious GOD, the giver of the HOLY SPIRIT and the source of our renewal, we thank YOU for revealing to our faith ancestors in the visible sign of the tongues of fire, the audible sound of strong wind and the vision of the advent of the life-giving SPIRIT on the day of Pentecost. We pray that YOU may continue to recreate us with the power of the HOLY SPIRIT to engage with YOU in the prayer of Pentecost, to respond to YOUR call to constantly proclaim YOUR liberating WORD and to fearlessly witness to JESUS CHRIST in love and compassion, through JESUS CHRIST who lives and reigns with YOU and the HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, world without end.
Amen.
