Ireland is home to Catholics from many countries and where the Holy Mass is celebrated in many different languages. Migrants leave their homes in search of a better life and face the difficult experience of migration in its various forms. As Christians, let us celebrate the diversity all around us, reach out to and pray for all migrants to emphasize the unity of the human family and the values of acceptance, hospitality and love of neighbour today on Penecost Sunday.

Prayer for Pentecost

God, whose Spirit is known

In the bringing together of those

Who were once kept apart,

You have announced good news

In the very human accents

Which have become most dear to us.

 

And so we pray:

Come, Holy Spirit,

And celebrate in us that love of God in Jesus Christ

Which need never be measured and will never run short,

And for whose cadences you have given us,

Without distrinction, the ears to hear.
