Pentecost

Let us be guided by the strong wind of the Holy Spirit within our Church. May we seek a new integrity among the clergy, a new openness to the dignity of life, and to seek out the lost among us.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us be guided by the strong wind of the Holy Spirit this Pentecost to lift up the leadership of the baptized, and to lift up all who work to sustain the Church’s mission of service and healing.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us be guided by the strong wind of justice for people, for an end of racism in our cities, for an end of misogyny, for an end of xenophobia. May we build a Church on unity and hope for all people.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us be guided by the strong wind of healing by the Holy Spirit for all people who face difficulties in marriage, those who struggle to raise and support their young children, and for people who cannot care for their ailing parents.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us be guided by the strong wind of integrity and peace, especially for our bishops and clergy and for all who make decisions within our institutions. May we rely solely on the gift on a new Pentecost.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us be guided by the strong wind of prayer for our dead whom we have loved on earth. In this Mass…

We pray to the Lord.
