Almighty God, on this day you
opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of
your Holy Spirit:
Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching
of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer
