Yet Another Prayer for Whitsuntide

O Holy Spirit of God, who didst descend upon our Lord Christ at the river Jordan, and upon the disciples at the feast of Pentecost: Have mercy upon us, we beseech thee, and by thy divine fire enlighten our minds and purify our hearts; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.

–Adapted from a prayer of Saint Nerses of Clajes [Fourth Century A.D.]
