Come Holy Spirit. Come! Fill the hearts of your people.
Come Holy Spirit that we may be aware:
Aware of the people around us, especially the poor and oppressed.
Aware of the children, the young people, all the people striving to grow into their dignity as children of God.
Aware of the world around us, especially the environment with its plants and animals, with its land and water, with its air and space, with all its mystery.
Aware of the structures of power, especially those that keep people poor or powerless or confused or un-free.
Aware of the violence and the threats of violence, which are not the way of Jesus.
Aware of our selves and our bias and stereotypes and all our bondage.
Aware of all the possibilities for freedom and joy and life.
Come Holy Spirit. Come! Fill the hearts of your people.
Give us the freedom to see. Give us the wisdom and courage to speak.
