Devotions to the Holy Spirit

Those who are Christians live a spiritual life, that is a life in the Spirit, led by the Spirit, enlightened by the Spirit, healed by the Spirit. The power of the gifts of the Spirit were energized in us at our Baptism and Confirmation, but are often neglected in the rest of our lives. In this pamphlet is a guide to living in the Spirit. It includes a Scriptural introduction to the gift of the Spirit in the Christian life, prayers to sanctify morning, midday, evening, and night, prayers before and after confession and communion, a novena of reading and prayers to the Holy Spirit, additional prayers both traditional and prayers of the saints, the Chaplet of the Holy Spirit and more.

Prayer at Morning

Holy Spirit, at creation's first dawn you came forth to give form and life to all; hear me at the beginning of this new day. Shape my life today in the image of Christ; let nothing unpleasant be found in me. Illumine my life's horizon with your light; dispel all darkness from my mind and soul; light the fire of love in my heart; and be the light I radiate today and every day of my life. Amen.
