PRIEST: On this day of Pentecost when the Church is filled with the power of God’s Holy Spirit, united in Jesus we make our prayers to the Father: 

READER:  For the Church, that all who follow Christ will allow the Holy Spirit to penetrate their lives more deeply. 
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

For our world, that the Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of Life, may renew the face of the earth and make it a place
where the poor are fed and the strangers are welcomed,
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

For peace among nations, that the Holy Spirit will transform our world into a community of justice and peace.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

For ourselves and for our own parish community, that we may always be open to the gifts of the Spirit.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

For all who are sick or suffering, that the Holy Spirit will bring them strength, comfort and healing. For…
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

For all who have died, that they may be welcomed, with joy, into the fullness of God's presence. For…
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

In a moment of silence, we offer our own petitions.

We join our prayers with those of Our Blessed Mother.

Hail Mary…

PRIEST: God our Father, open our hearts to the gifts of your Spirit that we may always walk in the light of your presence. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit. God for ever and ever. Amen.
