*LITANY FOR PENTECOST Holy Spirit, our Counselor, by your inspiration, the prophets spoke and acted in faith. You clothed them in power to be bearers of your Word. Come Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit of power, you came as fire to Jesus followers; you gave them strong voices before the rulers of this world. Come Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit, our Sanctifier, you created us children of God and you intercede within us with sighs too deep for words. Come Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit, the Giver of Life, you guide and make holy the church. You give great gifts: the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord, that the whole of creation may become what you want it to be. Come Holy Spirit! Come! *GLORIA PATRI #579 GREATOREX
