The Day of Pentecost

Come down O Love Divine
fill thou this soul of mine.

Breathe on me breath of God, Fill me with life anew.

Collect
God, who as at this time
taught the hearts of your faithful people
by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit:
grant us by the same Spirit
to have a right judgement in all things
and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort;
through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

On this Sunday, as we celebrate Pentecost and the
coming of the Gift of the Holy Spirit, we ask:

Dear Lord,

bring new life where we are worn and tired,
new love where we have turned hard-hearted,
forgiveness where we feel hurt and
where we have wounded others,
and the joy and freedom of your Holy Spirit
where we are prisoners of ourselves. Amen.

Notes

Broughton Hackett’s PCC meets on Wednesday at

7.00pm.

We send prayers of support and hope for this
important meeting as St Leonard’s present and

future are discussed.

We pray for PCC members, Revd Claire and the
Parish, saying thank you for all the good things and
faithful church members of the past and looking
forward with courage, commitment and hope to
what the future may bring.
