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.
