Loving God,
 Pour out your Pentecost Spirit
 And saturate our souls 
 With Your renewal 
 Forming our words and ways
 Into an invitation to others
 That heals, renews, and blesses.
 
Teach us every language necessary 
 To move beyond what we know
 Fashioning us as channels
 Of Your loving grace
 Made known in Christ Jesus.
 
Remove from our hearts and minds
 Any barrier of human design
 That divides, or dissuades
 Us from your deep desire
 For a human family fully alive
 And at peace with each other
 And with the planet we inhabit.

Form us, heart, mind and soul
 With Your language of love
 Seeking the good of the other
 Making possible the impossible
 With Your resurrection renewal
 Again and again and again.
 
Surprise us and those around us
 With this of Your Pentecost presence
 Transforming the fires of the world
 With Your Holy fire of love
 That lights every corner of despair
 With Your uncontainable delight.
 
Yes, O Love, 
 Pour out Your Spirit on us
 For nothing less than this
 Of your persistent Pentecost promise
 Amen and Amen and Amen!
