Prayers

=Come Holy Spirit= Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your [|Spirit] and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same [|Holy Spirit] we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through [|Christ] Our Lord, Amen.

=St. Augustine's Prayer to the Holy Spirit= Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen.

=Outpouring of Spirit= Holy Spirit, we ask for an outpouring of your graces, blessings and gifts, upon those who do not believe, that they may believe; Upon those who are doubtful or confused, that they may understand; Upon those who are lukewarm or indifferent, that they may be transformed; Upon those who are constantly living in the state of sin, that they may be converted; Upon those who are weak, that they may be strengthened; Upon those who are holy, that they may persevere. Amen.

Holy Spirit, be with me today.

Be my teacher, my guide, my counselor, my friend.

Fill me with your gifts, especially the gifts of

wisdom, discernment, knowledge, understanding, compassion,

love, and awe in God's presence.

In all that I think, say, and do, let it be in accordance

with your most holy and perfect will.

I ask this in Jesus' name. AMEN.
