Sunday reflection:

Pentecost Prayer:

Holy Spirit of love and joy, you came to those gathered at the first Pentecost, filling them with boldness to speak of your marvellous deeds in words their hearers could comprehend.

Come to your Church, that it may proclaim you with conviction and in lives made holy in your service.

(Ian Black)
