2nd Week of Pentecost Holy Trinity Sunday

And now we beg you, O Holy Spirit,
Spirit of strength, knowledge and fear,
Spirit of wisdom, understanding, compassion and true love;
sanctify us, body and soul, and we shall be resplendent and spotless sheep.
Heal us of our egotism and enkindle in us the fire of your love; implant in our spirits the true faith of the apostles;
place within our hearts that good hope and strong consolation which will raise us above the vanities of this world.
Do not allow us to live with anything that might alienate us from you and the holiness of your love:
enmity, envy and hatred.
Pour out upon us your gifts, the bearers of life, as you did upon he apostles.

A prayer for vocations
Gather us, Good Shepherd, into your holy Church, your sheep fold, and send us shepherds and pastors who will model their lives on yours,
and who lead us to graze in your Spirit.
Place in the hearts of young men and women your call to serve your house, spread your gospel and save the poor.
Call your people to care for the sick, feed those who are hungry, teach your children, and offer your spiritual worship, so that your kingdom may be perfected.
We shall praise and glorify you, for ever. Amen.
