Lord, hear our prayer:
Father, we thank you for all those whose words, deeds and service have been shot through with your power; for those whose lives and witness have touched and changed our own lives and for those whose knowledge and experience of you through the Holy Spirit have been a source of hope and joy for many. We praise you for the coming of the Spirit, not only on your first disciples on the Day of Pentecost, but also on every generation of your faithful people. We thank you in Jesus’ name for such a wonderful gift.
Amen.
