Prayer for Pentecost

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.
