Exciting Holiness
‘The celebration of the Holy Spirit
at work in many different ways
in the lives of Christian men and women
down the ages,
whose examples excite us to holiness,
is a sign of the great cloud of witnesses
with which we are surrounded.’
From the essay

Collects and Readings
for the Festivals and Lesser Festivals
