Whitsuntide — Whitsunday — The Church’s Witness (3)
O God, we pray thee for thy Church which is set today amid the perplexities of a changing order, and is face to face with a new task. Fill us all afresh with the Spirit of Pentecost. Help us to proclaim boldly the coming of thy kingdom. And do thou hasten the time when the knowledge of thyself shall fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. We ask it in the name and for the sake of Christ our Lord.
