Traditional · c. 1200
“Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of thy love.”
Read slowly
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful
and kindle in them the fire of thy love.
Send forth thy Spirit and they shall be created,
and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit
didst instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
An invocation of the Holy Spirit — the prayer of the Church before decisions, confirmations, and every new beginning.
Morning. Invoking the Spirit at the day’s start asks God to renew the heart before decisions and duties unfold.
Trust & surrender. Asking for the Holy Spirit directly expresses trust that God gives the gift needed to live the faith and persevere in grace.
