God who gathers us, on this Pentecost Sunday, in this season
 
of the Spirit and summer, as the days grow humid and the
 
sun blazes hot, grant us a cool breeze of relief and the
 
patience of a planted seed. May we grow in faithfulness in

righteousness as the sun rises high and the crops grow tall.
 
 
 
Peaceful Spirit, in this season of war and violence, as bombs

addiction to violence and weapons of destruction. Bend the
 
arc of the universe towards justice. Inspire us with courage
 
to resist the evil of racism, to proclaim your inclusive love, to
 
root out the enemies of righteousness, to persist for peace.
 
 
 
Open our hearts and minds by the power of your Spirit, Holy
 
God, that we might hear and receive the message you intend
 
for us today. Amen.
