Whit-Sunday.
Psalm 33
Exultate, justi
( . . . )
3. Sing unto the Lord a new song : sing praises
lustily unto him with a good courage.
4. For the word of the Lord is true : and all his
works are faithful.
5. He loveth righteousness and judgement : the
earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made :
and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
(N.B. – “the breath” in Hebrew is *ruach* which
is translated often as “spirit”. Notice, then, the relation between “the word
of the Lord” and “the ruach of his mouth.”)
( . . . )
Ephesians 3.16-21
That he would grant you, according to the riches of
his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and
length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him
that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the
church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
The Collect.
GOD,
who as at this time didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people, by the
sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit; Grant us by the same Spirit to
have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy
comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who liveth and
reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without
end. Amen.

Psalm 104
Benedic, anima mea
( . . . )
28. When thou givest it them they gather it : and
when thou openest thy hand they are filled with good.
29. When thou hidest thy face they are troubled :
when thou takest away their breath they die, and are turned again to their
dust.
30. When thou lettest thy breath {Heb: ruach – spirit}
go forth they shall be made : and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
31. The glorious majesty of the Lord shall endure
for ever : the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
( . . . )

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you
that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness
and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring
to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

GRANT, we beseech thee,
merciful God, that thy Church, being gathered together in unity by thy Holy

Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
