Come, Holy Spirit of God, come upon us, that you may send us out in your power. Fill us with your grace and goodness, that we may be able to bring the Good News to the oppressed, to comfort the broken-hearted, and to bring liberty and freedom to your people; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Father, for ever and ever. Amen.

Holy Lord, you come to us, you inspire us, you enable us; grant that we may proclaim your loving presence
and show your saving power.

Let your church be seen to be working for justice and righteousness, for liberty and peace...
