Here’s
a responsive prayer from Christine Sine’s Godspace
website. It comes from a longer
litany used in morning and evening prayers at the Mustard Seed House. (To see the entire litany, click on the link

Responsive Prayer for Pentecost
God,
the light of your Spirit has fallen upon us,
The
seal of your ownership is on us,
You
have placed the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
Like
tongues of fire it has renewed and restored.
In
our rising and our sleeping,
In
our working and our playing,
In
our joys and in our sorrows,
Your
Spirit’s brightness has dispelled the darkness,
In
our loving and caring,
In
our touching and our listening,
In
our thoughts and in our actions,
God’s
Spirit has brought life out of death.
(Pause to invite the
Holy Spirit into your day’s activities)
God,
your spirit fell like tongues of fire.
It
filled those that were empty,
It
empowered those that were weary.
God,
your spirit fell like tongues of fire.
It
brought together those that were divided,
It
reassured those who were afraid.
God,
your spirit fell like tongues of fire.
By
its power we can walk together as one,
By
its power we can find strength to share.
God,
your spirit fell like tongues of fire.
By
its power we can find freedom in loving each other,
By
its power we can find life in you.
