Prayer of Invocation for Pentecost
(inspired by the events in Acts 2:1-13)

Spirit of truth 
Whom the world can never grasp, 
Touch our hearts 
With the shock of your coming; 
Fill us with desire 
For your disturbing peace; 
And fire us with longing 
To speak your uncontainable word 
Through Jesus Christ. Amen.
