Prayer to the Indwelling Spirit
Holy Spirit, powerful Consoler,
sacred Bond of the Father and the Son,
Hope of the afflicted,
descend into my heart
and establish in it your loving dominion.
Enkindle in my tepid soul the fire of your
Love so that I may be wholly subject to you.
We believe that when you dwell in us,
yolu also prepare a dwelling for the Father
and the Son.
Deign, therefore, to come to me,
Consoler of abandoned souls,
and Protector of the needy.
Help the afflicted,
strengthen the weak,
and support the wavering.
Come and purify me.
Let no evil desire take possession of me.
You love the humble and resist the proud.
Come to me, glory of the living,
and hope of the dying.
Lead me by your grace that I may always be pleasing to you.
Amen.
I am really struck by the words of this prayer. There is so much in it to ponder, in line after line and so much to hope for - thanks, Aeternus, for this and the lovely picture.
