Behold, I will pour out my Spirit on all
flesh your sons and daughters shall

Bible Reading
On the first day of the week, Jesus came and
stood among them saying, Peace be with you. As
the Father has sent me, so I send you. When he
had said this, he breathed on them and said to
them, Receive the Holy Spirit.
John 2021-22

Confession
Holy Spirit, fire of love, consume all that is
rotten in me and change me from the inside. Holy
Spirit, Comforter, melt all that is cold and hard
in me, and soothe my hurts in your warmth. Holy
Spirit, transforming power, light up my heart and
take possession of me, so that I may become flame.

is holy. Move me, Holy Spirit, that I may do
what is holy. Attract me, Holy Spirit, that I
may love what is holy. Strength me, Holy
Spirit, that I may guard what is holy. Guard me,
Holy Spirit, that I may keep what is holy.

Bible Reading
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all
together in one place. And suddenly from heaven
there came a sound like the rush of a violent
wind, and it filled the entire house where they
were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire,
appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each
of them. All of them were filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as
the Spirit gave them ability.
Acts 21-4
18
Reflection
The Holy Spirit is like the rising water of the
tide, ready to fill every cranny that opens in
the reef it engulfs, yet forcing no openings that
are not offered. In this way the Spirit of
Christ shapes our spirits. When we seek the
company of Jesus through prayer and sacrament,
and when we put ourselves into the acts and
concerns of Jesus, our attitudes become the
attitudes of Jesus. These attitudes are the
immediate form of the divine life in us. When we
allow the love of God to move in us, we can no
longer distinguish between our attitudes and his.
This is the firstfruit of the Holy Spirit.

Reflection
Whenever we pray as Christians, we do not pray
alone. We pray both through Christ and with
Christ and in Christ, and Jesus prays for us and
with us and in us, so that, through the work of
the Holy Spirit, our prayer becomes Christs
prayer. When the body of Jesus prays, it does
not separate its head from itself so let us
therefore recognise both our words in him and his
words in us.

Prayers
Andrei Rublev, 1425

The Lords Prayer
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as
it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread
and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who
sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but
deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power
and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.
25
Collect
Father of light, from whom every good gift comes,
send your Spirit into our lives with the power of
a mighty wind and by the flame of your wisdom
open up the horizons of our minds. Loosen our
tongues to sing your praise in words beyond the
power of speech, for without your Spirit we could
never raise our voices in words of peace or
announce the truth that Jesus is Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Blessing
Almighty and all-loving God, through the fire of
your Spirit you have drawn the hearts of men and
women to share in the mystery of your being by
the power of the same Spirit infuse our lives
with your presence, that, as your Son was
transfigured in prayer, we too may be
transformed, and our lives become a flame of
self-giving love. Amen.
28
Blessing
I will bless the Lord, Trinity of love now and
for ever unto ages of ages. Amen.
