Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
St. Josemarie Escrivá (1902-1975)

Come O holy Spirit! Enlighten my understanding in order to know your commands, strengthen my heart against the snares of the enemy; enkindle my will. I have heard your voice and I do not want to harden my heart and resist, saying, "Later...tomorrow." Nunc cœpi! Right now! Lest there be no tomorrow for me.

O Spirit of truth and of Wisdom, Spirit of understanding and of counsel, Spirit of joy and of peace! I want what you want, because you want it, as you want, when you want it.  Amen.

​Prayer to the Holy Spirit:

Holy Spirit, inspire me to think as I ought; to speak as I ought; to keep silent when I ought; to write as I ought; to act as I ought; and to work as I ought for the good of my brothers and sisters, the fulfilment of my mission and the triumph of the Kingdom of Christ.  Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
Désiré Joseph Cardinal Mercier (1851-1926)

Oh, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore you. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me. Tell me what I should do; give me my orders. I promise to submit myself to all that you desire of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me. Let me only know your will.  Amen.
