Ponderings of Grace - Feast of Pentecost

Holy Spirit, Holy Fire!  Inflame us with your love
   that we may follow the Way of Jesus by living simply, compassionatley, and honestly;

  that we may have the courage to speak Truth gently and firmly to our neighbor
                                                     and to people of power;
  that we may live Life to the full, listening and following your call,
                                                    even when it means taking risks;
                   listening and following your call to go wherever you send us
                                                    and to change whatever needs to be changed.

Keep your Fire alive in us that we may passionately minister to your people
                         in a way that nourishes and empowers them.
Keep us joy-filled and peaceful
                         that we may be a fountain from which others draw strength.
Keep us mindful that time spent in quiet and in prayer
                         is basic to anything we think, do, and say.

We pray in the name of Jesus, our Beloved. Amen
