THE PRAYER

OF THE SYNOD

Adsumus Sancte Spiritus

 

We stand before You, Holy Spirit,

      as we gather together in Your name.

With You alone to guide us,

       make Yourself at home in our hearts;

Teach us the way we must go

       and how we are to pursue it.

We are weak and sinful;

       do not let us promote disorder.

Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path

       nor partiality influence our actions.

Let us find in You our unity

       so that we may journey together to eternal life

       and not stray from the way of truth

       and what is right.

All this we ask of You,

       who are at work in every place and time,

       in the communion of the Father and the Son,

       forever and ever.

Amen.
