May the mystery of the Holy Spirit dwell in you,
that you may hear the voice of grace
even in strange places and foreign tongues.
May the wind of the Holy Spirit move you
to cross boundaries and defy divisions
to love those who are different from you.
May the breath of the Holy Spirit breathe in you
to forgo all comfort and familiarity
to meet others where they are.
May the fountain of the Holy Spirit flow in you
with courage and humility to learn anew,
to be awkward and foolish for the sake of love.
May the fire of the Holy Spirit burn brightly in you,
that in all you do others may see in you
the warm light of the steady love of God.
