As we approach another Pentecost, I commend to you The Gift booklet, a resource that grew out of a 12-part series on the ministry of the Holy Spirit that I posted in 2017.
A prayer
You who led Israel through the waters,
plant us by streams of living water.
Root us in your love
and grow us up to bear the fruit of your Spirit:
love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Amen
from Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals by Shane Claiborne, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove and Enuma Okoro, p. 222
