PRAYER TO THE 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 will renew the face of the earth.
Let us Pray
Lord by the light of the Holy Spirit
You have taught the hearts of the faithful.
Grant that through the same Holy Spirit
We may always be truly wise
And rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our
Lord.

Amen.
