Prayer of Thanksgiving on Pentecost

Blessed are You, O Lord, our God, king of all creation, for You have had mercy upon us and given Your only-begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

In these last days, You have poured out Your Holy Spirit on Your Church that Your sons and daughters might proclaim the wonders of Your salvation in Christ Jesus , our Lord.

Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon Your gathered people that, faithfully eating and drinking the body and blood of Your Son, we may go forth to proclaim Your salvation to the ends of the earth.

Hear us as we pray in His name and as He has taught us:  Our Father...
