Let us praise and thank the Father, who has poured out the grace of the Spirit on all peoples. Let us ask him for an ever greater share in his Spirit, saying:
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Lord, you gave us your chosen One as the light of all peoples,
— open the eyes of the blind, and lead from captivity those who sit in darkness.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
You anointed Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit for the ministry of salvation,
— may he once more go about the world, doing good and healing all.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Send your Spirit, the light of all hearts,
— to strengthen the faith of those in doubt.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Send your Spirit, our rest in labor,
— to support the weary and the broken-hearted.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Fulfill the hope of those who have died,
— so that they may rise again at the coming of Christ.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.

But what will happen to the bodies of the living and the dead after the Second Coming of Christ? Read this Post to find out what it means to have “glorified bodies” in Heaven.
