The Sequence from the Pentecost Liturgy of the Word describes the work of the Spirit in our lives and world. Pray it together.
LEADER: Come, Holy Spirit, come. From your celestial home shed your ray of life divine.
ALL: Come to us whenever we call; you are Comforter of all. On your poor, let solace shine.
LEADER: In our labor, you give rest. Be our hearts’ indwelling Guest. You are joy forever near.
ALL: Heal our wounds. Our hearts renew. On our dryness shed your dew. Wash the guilt of sin away.
LEADER: Bend our stubborn hearts and will. Melt what’s frozen; warm the chill. Guide the steps that go astray.
ALL: Renew the faithful who adore and confess you evermore. Let your sevenfold gifts descend.
LEADER: Let us each pledge with the cup of wine (or juice) to use the gifts of the Spirit in us. Pass the cup.
