A Series on Acts - #150 From the Realm of the Devil to the Kingdom of God
Speaker Notes
Collect for Pentecost
O God, who on this day didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people by 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 Savior,
who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
Acts 26:17-18
17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
