A Prayer to the Holy Spirit
by Cardinal Mercier
O Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore You.
Enlighten me, guide me,
strengthen me, console me.
Tell me what I should do;
give me Your orders.
I promise to submit myself
to all that You desire of me and
to accept all that You permit to happen to me.
Let me only know Your Will.

COME O HOLY SPIRIT
Come O Holy Spirit
Come, thou Holy Spirit, come!
And from thy celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!
Come, thou Father of the poor!
Come, thou source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine!
Thou, of comforters the best;
Thou, the soul’s most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below.
In our labour, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of thine,
And our inmost being fill!
Where thou art not, we have naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew
On our dryness pour thy dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away.
Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful, who adore
And confess thee, evermore
In thy sev’nfold gift descend.
Give them virtue’s sure reward;
Give them thy salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who before ascending into
heaven did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish
Your work in Your Apostles and Disciples, deign to
grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect
in me the work of Your grace and love.

after the things that are eternal,
the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind
with the light of Your divine truth,
the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the
surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven,
the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross
with You, and that I may overcome with courage
all the obstacles that hinder my salvation,
the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and
know myself and grow perfect in imitation of the
Saints,
the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of
God sweet and amiable,
the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a
loving reverence towards God, and may dread in
any way to displease Him.
Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Your true
disciples and animate me in all things with Your
Spirit. Amen.
