Receive the Holy Fire - A Prayer for Pentecost

Receive the Holy Fire...

Receive this holy fire.
May your lives be like this flame.
A holy life that is seen.
A life of the Spirit,
A life that has no end.
A life that darkness does not overcome.
May this light of God in your grow.

Receive the fire of the Spirit,
A fire that is worthy of your children.

A fire that is worthy of your fathers.
A fire that is worthy of your mothers.
A fire that brings us courage to live our faith.
Now go in peace to love and serve the Lord and his children.
May the almighty protect you today and all days.
