Lord God Almighty, who holds all power over heaven and earth, grant to us your Holy Spirit, that we might receive the power to do that which you have entrusted to us and to fulfill your mission of reconciliation among your children throughout the whole earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Spirit in glory forever. Amen.
‘Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.’ – Acts 2:3-4
