“The extraordinary outpouring of Pentecost was not limited solely to that moment; it was an event that continues. The Holy Spirit truly transforms us and, with our cooperation, also wants to transform the world we live in.” Pope Francis.

Prayer of St Thomas More Patron Saint of Politicians

O Lord, give us a mind that is humble, quiet, peaceable, patient and charitable, and a taste of your

Holy Spirit in all our thoughts, words and deeds. O Lord, give us a lively faith, a firm hope, a fervent

charity, a love of You. Take from us all lukewarmness in meditation and all dullness in prayer. Give us fervour and delight in thinking of You, your grace, and your

tender compassion toward us. Give us, good Lord, the grace to work for the things we pray for. Amen.
