Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O God, the King of
glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to
your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your
Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our
Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
O God, you have
prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our
understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we,
loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises,
which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.
