FEAST OF PENTECOST

PENTECOST LITANY

                    

Come Holy Spirit.

Come Spirit of God.

Wind, Fire, Praise,

pour into us

surprise into us,

create into us new life today.

Come Holy Spirit.

Come Spirit of God.

Breathe into us your gifts,

especially the ability of seeing your gifts,

shining in every person that we meet today.

Come Holy Spirit.

Come Spirit of God.

Give old people young visions,

give young people old wisdom,

and give both the fire and the desire

to make their dreams come true.

Come Holy Spirit.

Come Spirit of God.

Send a strong rushing wind

into the upper rooms of our minds,

replacing stale, paralyzing fear

with fresh, ongoing peace.

Come Holy Spirit.

Come Spirit of God.

 Help us to stop talking 

long enough to hear,

that we’re really not listening 

to each other,

but we're speaking in the language

of babbling that divides us.

Come Holy Spirit.

Come Spirit of God.

Give us the gift of tongues,

give us the ability of speaking

in the language of love that unites us

Come Holy Spirit.

Come Spirit of God.

Help us to all work together

to build the City of God,

with Jesus as the Tower

and the Ladder that touches the sky

and takes us into the Kingdom.
