Almighty and ever-living God,
you fulfilled the Easter promise by sending us your Holy Spirit.
May that Spirit unite the races and nations on earth to proclaim your glory.
Grand this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
— Opening Prayer, Pentecost Vigil Mass
