Holy Spirit of God, I constantly turn back to you, but somehow or other I never quite turn back the whole of myself. There are still hidden depths which only you are able to plumb, which remain hidden to me but which affect my behaviour and my thoughts. Help me to give you the whole of myself, with nothing held back and no fears for the future. And then if you do ask something of me, help me to be ready to accept and to go forward in your name, holding your hand.

Holy Spirit of God, we pray for all those members who are added to your Church through baptism. Remove any fear or jealousy or suspicion of your gifts so that they are encouraged and channelled in the direction which you suggest. May those who are baptised be nurtured within your Church so that their relationship with you deepens year by year. With Christians world-wide we pray especially today for your Church in Helsinki (Finland) with Bishop Eero Huovinen and your Church in Australia.
