PRAYER
May the Gifts of the Holy Spirit bring fire to the earth
so that the presence of God may be seen
in a new light, in new places, in new ways.
May our own hearts burst into flame
so that no obstacle, no matter how great,
ever obstructs the message of the God within each of us.
May we come to trust the Word of God in our heart,
to speak it with courage, to follow it faithfully
and to fan it to flame in others.
May the Jesus who filled women with his Holy Spirit
fill the world and the church with new respect
for women’s power and presence.
Give me, Great God, a sense of the Breath of Spirit
within me as I… (state the intention in your own life at this time for which you are praying.)
Amen.
Pentecost Prayer by Joan Chittister, OSB
