Come, Holy Spirit, and show us what is true.

In a world of great wealth

where many go hungry

and fortunes are won and lost

by trading in money,

come, Holy Spirit, and show us what is true.

In a world of great knowledge

where many die of ignorance

and every piece of information

has a price in the marketplace,

come, Holy Spirit, and show us what is true.

In a world of easy communication

where words leap between continents

and we expect to see a picture

to illustrate each item of the news,

come, Holy Spirit, and show us what is true.

In a Church touched by the flame of the Pentecost

moved to generous sacrifice and costly love

interpreting the will of God with new insight,

come, Holy Spirit, and show us what is true.

Steven Orchard, English minister and author
