\u201cMaster,\u201d Simon replied, \u201cwe worked hard all last night and didn\u2019t catch a thing. But if you say so, I\u2019ll let the nets down again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prayer to the Spirit<\/h3>\n

Spirit of life
\nFill our emptiness with your fullness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spirit of power
\nStir our hearts afresh<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spirit of love
\nTouch us, and through us, our neighbour<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spirit of creativity
\nEnable and empower the gifts you have given<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spirit of eternity
\nDraw us ever deeper into your Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n
