Prayer of Intercession for Pentecost


O living God, come and make our souls temples of thy Spirit. 
Sanctify us, O Lord! 

Baptize thy whole Church with fire, that the divisions soon may cease, and that it may stand before the world as a pillar and buttress of thy truth. 
Sanctify us, O Lord! 

Grant us all the fruits of thy Holy Spirit: brotherly love, joy, peace, patience, goodwill and faithfulness. 
Sanctify us, O Lord! 

May the Holy Spirit speak by the voice of thy servants, here and everywhere, as they preach thy word. 
Sanctify us, O Lord! 

Send thy Holy Spirit, the comforter, to all who face adversity, or who are the victims of men's wickedness. 
Sanctify us, O Lord! 

Preserve all nations and their leaders from hatred and war, and build up a true community among nations, through the power of thy Spirit. 
Sanctify us, O Lord! 

Holy Spirit, Lord and source of life, giver of the seven gifts, 
Sanctify us, O Comforter. 

Spirit of wisdom and understanding, Spirit of counsel and strength, 
Sanctify us, O Comforter. 

Spirit of knowledge and devotion, Spirit of obedience to the Lord. 
Sanctify us, O Comforter. 

(Prayer of Taize Community)
