Whit-Sunday.
Veni,
Creator Spiritus
Come,
Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, * And lighten with celestial fire.
Thou the
anointing Spirit art, * Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.
Thy blessed
unction from above, * Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with
perpetual light * The dulness of our
blinded sight.
Anoint and
cheer our soiled face * With the
abundance of thy grace.
Keep far our
foes, give peace at home; * Where thou art guide, no ill can come.
Teach us to
know the Father, Son, * And thee, of both, to be but One;
That, through
the ages all along, * This may be our endless song:
Praise to thy
eternal merit, * Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
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.

Readings for
Pentecost Ember Days(Wednesday, Friday and Saturday): http://orderofcenturions.org/documents/ember_pentecost.html
ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father,
who hast purchased to thyself an universal Church by the precious blood of thy
dear Son; Mercifully look upon the same, and at this time so guide and govern
the minds of thy servants the Bishops and Pastors of thy flock, that they may
lay hands suddenly on no man, but faithfully and wisely make choice of fit
persons, to serve in the sacred Ministry of thy Church. And to those which
shall be ordained to any holy function, give thy grace and heavenly
benediction; that both by their life and doctrine they may show forth thy
glory, and set forward the salvation of all men; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Or this.
ALMIGHTY God, the giver of all good
gifts, who of thy divine providence hast appointed divers Orders in thy Church;
Give thy grace, we humbly beseech thee, to all those who are to be called to
any office and administration in the same; and so replenish them with the truth
of thy doctrine, and endue them with innocency of life, that they may
faithfully serve before thee, to the glory of thy great Name, and the benefit
of thy holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
