Pentecost, Additional Collect (Redub)


Spirit of God, come to us,
ignite in us your holy desire,
and visit the peoples of the earth
with faith and hope and love.
Revive your Church so it can
serve your purposes in your world
and share in your work to
renew the face of the earth.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 9.8 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 16.0 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.

My collection of five Pentecost prayers are here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012 to Advent 2013.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
