Prayers and Readings for Private Use: Sunday 31st May
Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’
(John 20: 21-22)
Loving God,
we give thanks that you are the God who breathes new life into us;
you are the God who restores and refreshes us.
As we rejoice in the coming of your Spirit,
bless our homes with your presence,
and grant that there we may grow in the fruits of the Spirit. Amen.
