O God, who according to thy promise hast given thy Holy Spirit to us thy people, that we might know the freedom of thy children and taste on earth our heavenly inheritance: Grant that we may ever hold fast the unity which he gives, and, living in his power, may be thy witnesses to all men; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Not made for Pentecost but still my favourite Pentecost image: the dove of the Holy Spirit in St Peter’s, high above and yet incorporated in Bernini’s cathedra altar, the gigantic upward surge of sculptures that encase the so-called chair of St Peter.
