Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit of light and love, 

you are the substantial love of the Father and the Son; 

hear our prayer. 

Bounteous bestower of most precious gifts, 

grant us a strong and living faith 

which makes us accept all revealed truths 

and shapes our conduct in accord with them. 

Give us a most confident hope in all divine promises 

which prompts us to abandon ourselves 

unreservedly to you and your guidance. 

Infuse into us a love of perfect goodwill, 

and act according to God's least desires. 

Make us love not only our friends but our enemies as well, 

in imitation of Jesus Christ who through you 

offered himself on the Cross for all people. 

Holy Spirit, animate, inspire, and guide us, 

and help us to be always true followers of you. 

Amen.

Yesterday we celebrated Pentecost  

Today we pray

The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit During Civil Unrest

Lord, Send forth your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.

The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

During Civil Unrest

O Lord Jesus Christ, before ascending into heaven,

you promised to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work.

Our world desperately needs the Holy Spirit NOW.

Grant us the Spirit of Wisdom that we may recognize and despise the hatred of this world, 

that we do not look at cities burning and think that it has nothing to do with us, so we look away.

Help us to see our brothers and sisters in the faces of those around us,

near and far.

Grant us the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten our minds with the light of divine truth -- that we are all made in your image and likeness.  

Grant us the Spirit of Counsel that we may seek justice for all, not just for a select few, and that our voices are heardin standing for the common good for if we do not stand with the oppressed then we stand with the oppressor.

Grant us the Spirit of Fortitude that we may bear our own cross -- with You,

that we may overcome with courage and non-violence all obstacles that stand between every race, every gender and every human being.

Grant us the Spirit of Knowledge that we may know what is right, and that we will do it, 

not just what is easiest!

Help us to perfectly reflect the gospel message of Christ,

“Love one another, as I have loved you.”

Grant us the Spirit of Piety that we may find the service of others sweet and amiable, that we may do all things with love and that we may rise above anything that stands between members of our human family.

Grant us the Spirit of Fear of the Lord that we may be filled with a desire for Gospel justice knowing that Jesus, our Lord, welcomed all people of every nation, colour, creed, and gender to the table.

Mark us, dear Lord, as true followers, 

and not merely as admirers,  

with a sign of true discipleship that can be seen by all.  

Amen.

Pentecost Sunday

The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

O Lord Jesus Christ, 

who, before ascending into heaven,

did promise to send the Holy Ghost

to finish Your work in the souls of Your Apostles and Disciples,

deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me,

that He may perfect in my soul the work of Your grace and Your love.

Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom

that I may despise the perishable things of this world

and aspire only after the things that are eternal,

the Spirit of Understanding

to enlighten my mind with the light of Your divine truth,

the Spirit of Counsel

that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven,

the Spirit of Fortitude

that I may bear my cross with You,

and that I may overcome with courage

all the obstacles that oppose my salvation,

the Spirit of Knowledge

that I may know God and know myself

and grow perfect in the science of the Saints,

the Spirit of Piety

that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable,

the Spirit of Fear of the Lord

that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God,

and may dread in any way to displease Him.

Mark me, dear Lord,

with the sign of Your true disciples

and animate me in all things with Your Spirit.

Amen.
