It's the Feast of Pentecost today, so here's the Collect:
O GOD, who as at this time 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 judgement 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.
Modern heretical Christians, taking a lead from Hitler's Reichskirche, used to justify their wicked and erroneous innovations by appealing to the Holy Spirit. "National Socialism," they cried from the pulpits, "is the work of the Spirit in our age!" Latterly, we've been told, again, and again, and again, that ordaining women is the "work of the Spirit." So is gay sex, apparently, although our new pansexual pagans have mostly dropped any pretense to Christianity and rarely invoke the members of the Trinity to justify their actions.
The heretics, inflated with insane pride as they blasphemously rage against the Church, should consider this. Those who go against the Holy Spirit will be relentlessly destroyed by that same Spirit.
God bless,
LSP
