Holy Spirit Sunday

Almighty God,

on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation

by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit:

Shed abroad this gift throughout the world

by the preaching of the Gospel,

that it may reach to the ends of the earth;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

or this

O God,

who on this day taught the hearts of your faithful people

by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit:

Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things,

and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
