Preparing for Pentecost


When preparing for or celebrating Pentecost this weekend, turn to the widget at the top of the sidebar for some Music for Pentecost. To find this weekend's scriptures, take a look at this earlier post. Some parishes encourage folks to wear something red on Pentecost (the liturgical color of the day and a reminder of the tongues of fire that came to rest over the heads of believers on this day. In my own parish, we'll sing Evening Prayer at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday night, followed by a concert.




Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your spirit, Lord, and they shall be created.
And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray...
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit
instructed the hearts of your faithful,
grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation,
through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
