O Holy Spirit, divine breath of God, source of all wisdom, grace, and love, we turn to you at this moment with a deep desire to welcome you into our hearts and lives. You who are the Comforter, the Guide, and the Inspirer, come to us, come into us, and renew our inner being.
O Holy Spirit, you who hovered over the waters at the beginning of creation, and who have participated in God's work since the dawn of time, we thank you for your constant presence in our world and in our lives. We acknowledge that you are the divine bond that unites the Father and the Son, and that you are the soul of the Church.
O Holy Spirit, you who are the inspiration of the prophets, the guide of the apostles, and the comforter of the afflicted, we pray that you come to our aid. Fill our souls with your love and grace, and grant us the spiritual gifts we need to fulfil God's will in our lives.
Holy Spirit, you who are the defender of faith, intercede for us against the doubts, temptations and darkness of this world. Enlighten our path, strengthen our faith, and keep our hearts pure.
O Holy Spirit, you who are the artisan of conversion and sanctification, transform our lives. Purify our hearts, renew our minds, and make us living witnesses to God's love and truth.
O Holy Spirit, you who are the comforter of the afflicted, pray for all who suffer in the world. Grant them peace, healing, and consolation. May your divine breath soothe their pain and renew their hope.
O Holy Spirit, you who are the giver of gifts and fruits, help us to bear fruits of holiness in our lives. May your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control be manifest in us.
Holy Spirit, we entrust to you our specific and personal intentions, in particular [mention your intentions here]. We know that you hear our prayers, and we trust in your love and providence.
O Holy Spirit, come upon us, fill our lives with your grace and presence. Be our guide, our comforter, and our strength. May our love for you and our desire to follow God's will grow each day.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, we pray. Amen.
Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis accende.
(Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.)
