The Feast of Pentecost (Whitsunday)
Introit (Psalm 118,16.24.26-28; Wisdom of Solomon 1,7)
The Spirit of the Lord fills the world, Hallelujah,
and that which contains all things has knowledge of the voice, Hallelujah.
The right hand of the Lord exalts,
the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Blessed is he who arrives in the Name of the Lord!
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God, and He has made His Light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar!
You are my God, and I will give thanks to You;
You are my God; I will extol You.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
The Spirit of the Lord fills the world, Hallelujah,
and that which contains all things has knowledge of the voice, Hallelujah.

Collect of the Day
O God, on this day You once taught the hearts of Your faithful people by sending them the light of Your Holy Spirit. Grant us in our day by the same Spirit to have a right understanding in all things and evermore to rejoice in His holy consolation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Genesis 11,1-9
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3And they said to one another: „Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.“ And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4Then they said: „Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.“ 5And the Lord went down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6And the Lord said: „Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.“ 8So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

Acts 2,1-13
1When the day of Pentecost arrived, the disciples were all together in one place. 2And suddenly there descended from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were seated. 3And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6And at this sound the multitude joined together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7And they were amazed and astonished, saying: „Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians – we hear them telling in our own languages the mighty works of God.“ 12And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another: „What does this mean?“ 13But others mocking said: „They are filled with new wine.“

John 14,23-31
23Jesus answered Judas (not Iscariot): „If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will go to him and make Our home with him. 24Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
25These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28You heard Me say to you: „I am going away, and I will return to you.“ If you loved Me, then you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than Me. 29And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is arriving. He has no claim on Me, 31but I do as the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.“
