Almighty God, who on the day of Pentecost sent your Holy Spirit upon your disciples
with the wind from heaven and in tongues of flame:
fill your Church today with the same Spirit,
that we may be bold in witness, steadfast in faith, and united in your love.
Guide us in the days ahead, giving us grace to serve you in the world,
and courage to proclaim the good news of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Risen Christ, you have raised our human nature to the throne of heaven:
help us to seek and serve you, that we may join you at the Father’s side,
where you reign with the Spirit in glory, now and for ever.
Amen

God of abiding presence, you promise not to leave us orphaned,
but to dwell within us through your Spirit.
In the week ahead, when we are uncertain, be our guide. When we are anxious, be our peace.
When we are challenged, be our courage.
Teach us to keep your commandments not as obligation, but as the natural outflow of love.
Give us grace to speak of our hope with gentleness and respect,
and to live in such a way that others may glimpse your life within us.
Amen

Risen Lord Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life, and in you we are made a holy people.
Build us together as living stones in your spiritual house,
strengthen us to trust you when our hearts are troubled,
and lead us in the path that brings us to the Father; that, proclaiming your goodness,
we may live in your light and share your love in the world;
for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen

Holy Shepherd, you know your sheep by name and lead us to safety. Guide us by your voice, that we may know the way to that leads to you. Amen

Gracious God, whose Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread:
open the eyes of our faith, that we may see him in all his redeeming work;
strengthen us to follow where he leads, and fill us with the power of your Spirit,
through him who died that we might share eternal life with you.
Amen
