Holy Spirit, sent by the Father,
ignite in us your holy fire;
strengthen your children with the gift of faith,
revive your Church with the breath of love,
and renew the face of the earth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Collect for Pentecost
As our timing of praying for the coming of the Spirit draws to a close, we celebrate the dramatic birth of Christ's Church and her sending out into the towns and cities, countries and continents that lie beyond Jerusalem's city walls. On this day, the Holy Spirit bursts into the apostles' lives. They are fuelled ready for a journey of a lifetime. We see this in Simon the Fisherman, who denied knowing Jesus, as he gives a speech that shows he has truly become Peter the Rock. Our Lord can build his Church through him. It is all the Spirit's doing.
Enjoy reflecting on the difference God is making to your life.
Every blessing,
Revd Katrina (Vicar)
