May the true God of all things, who sent forth the Holy Spirit upon the apostles in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, send the Spirit now upon you, to guard you and impart to you her bounty, that the fruits of the Spirit--
love,
joy,
peace,
patience,
kindness,
generosity,
faithfulness,
gentleness,
and self-control--
may be yours, this day and forever.
Amen.
