Come Holy Spirit

 Come, Holy Spirit

 By Saint Mary of Jesus Crucified 

This morning I was feeling low in spirits because I did not feel the presence of God. It seemed to me that my heart was like iron, I could not think of God; I invoked the Holy Spirit saying: 

"It is you who made us know Jesus. The Apostles spent a long time with him without ever comprehending him; but the fire you sent down on them made them understand him. You will also make me understand him. Come, my consolation; come, my joy; come, my peace, my strength, my light. Come, give me the light to find the spring where I can quench my thirst. One ray of your light is enough to show me Jesus as he is. I ask you for no other learning, nor any other wisdom than the knowledge of how to find Jesus and the wisdom of remaining with him. O Most Holy Spirit, when you sent forth the ray of light, the disciples were transformed; they were no longer what they had been before; their strength had been renewed, offering sacrifices became easy; they then got to know Jesus better than they had ever known him when he was among them. Source of peace and light, come and enlighten me. I am hungry, come and feed me. I am poor, come and enrich me. Holy Spirit, I abandon myself to you."

I believe in the Holy Spirit! 

This is my prayer.

Come, Holy Spirit!

I do not know how I ought to pray but I trust that my prayers will be heard. 

Come, Holy Spirit!

Even though my prayer is silent, the Holy Spirit knows my heart.

Come, Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit is like the wind. We cannot see the Spirit but we can feel the Spirit. 

Come, Holy Spirit!

Whisper, Holy Spirit, words of comfort in times of distress. 

Come, Holy Spirit. 

Fill the hearts of your faithful. 

Come. Holy Spirit. 

Send forth Your Spirit, Lord! And they shall be created! 

Come, Holy Spirit!

Renew the face of the earth! 

Be our consolation! 

Come, Holy Spirit!

Instruct our hearts! 

Come, Holy Spirit!

Amen.
