Holy Spirit, Prayers

Prayer to the Holy Spirit [Msgr Brady]

I Will Pour Out Upon Everyone a Portion of My Spirit [Acts 2:17]

Dear Holy Spirit,

I place myself under your total power, guidance, and control.
I surrender to you my intellect, my talent,
my will, and my entire self.

Hover over me as you did at the Baptism of Jesus.
May I be filled with the Holy Spirit and with love!

May the Spirit of the Lord be stirred within me, 
so that I might be God’s chosen instrument
to touch the hearts of every soul
and to lead them to the Lord, their God.

Empower me to discern;
Enable me to do and to complete the work to which
I have been called during my earthly life.

Spirit of the Living God, fall abundantly upon me.
Mold me, use me, lead me, and guide me.
Transform me to become more like Christ.

Amen

Holy Spirit

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill my heart with your holy gifts.

Let my weakness be penetrated with our strength this very day that I may fulfill the duties of my state in life conscientiously, that I may do what is right and just.

Let my charity be such as to offend no one and hurt no one’s feeling; so generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong done to me.

Assist me in all the trial of life, enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen my weakness, help me in all needs and embarrassment, protect me in temptations and console me in all afflictions.

Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into my heart, my soul and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace.

Amen.
