As we prepare for Pentecost,
let us pray:

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Breathe into me, Holy Spirit,
that all my thoughts may be holy.

Move in me, Holy Spirit,
that my work, too, may be holy. 

Attract my heart, Holy Spirit,
that I may love only what is holy. 

Strengthen me,  Holy Spirit,
that I may defend all that is holy. 

Protect me, Holy Spirit,
that I always may be holy.




Alleluia: He Is Risen!
