Lord, as we arrive at the close of another Friday under restriction, we come to you in praise and prayer.

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.

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
