Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Since Pentecost is not far away, I thought I’d start posting some of my favourite prayers to the Holy Spirit:
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Amen.
This prayer comes from St. Augustine of Hippo, from whom we’ll be hearing again tomorrow for our Wise Words on Wednesday…
