Come, Holy Spirit, grant me patience. Today. Now.
Come, Holy Spirit, grant me wisdom to follow the rules, row in the right direction, work together for the common good.
Come, Holy Spirit, shower me with the knowledge that you are right and just, even when I think I have all the answers.
Come, Holy Spirit, grant me the courage to speak with love.
Come, Holy Spirit, give me the understanding to see clearly what is before me and the right judgment to know when to be quiet, when to speak loudly, when to serve, and when to depart in peace.
Come, Holy Spirit, give me the wonder and the awe that sees that you are here – and there, wherever I may go.
Come, Holy Spirit, help me to pray. Help me to remember that you are in my presence, though I may feel far from yours. Help me to know that you long for me more than I could ever long for you.
Help me, Holy Spirit, to forgive – and grant me the grace to forget.
Guide me, Holy Spirit, to fill the world with your Hope, your Charity, and your Presence.
Lead me, Holy Spirit, to communicate the Good News you bring to those I meet, where I work, where I pray, and where I live.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your gifts. Teach us, help us, lead us by your grace, to complete the work you started so long ago. Counsel me, guide me, move me, and improve me. Send me out into the world on the breath of the Risen Lord.
Amen.
