Open the heavens, almighty Father,
and pour out your Spirit
upon your people.
Renew the power of our
baptismal cleansing and fill us with
zeal for good deeds.
Let us hear your voice once again,
that we may recognize in your
beloved Son our hope of inheriting
eternal life.
Grant this through Jesus
Christ, your Word made flesh,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
in the splendor od eternal light,
God for ever and ever. Amen.
