God of Divine Wisdom, in a world filled with noise, fear, and confusion, we seek your guiding voice and steady presence. As you spoke to Elijah in a gentle whisper, and filled the disciples with courage through wind and flame on the day of Pentecost, help us to recognize your spirit moving among us. Grant us grace to listen for your voice amid the clamour of uncertainty, and empower us to walk faithfully with those entrusted to our care, bearing the peace Christ gives: "Peace | leave with you; my peace I give to you."Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
