Come, Holy Spirit is the Church's classic invocation of the Holy Spirit, asking him to fill our hearts and kindle in us the fire of divine love.
The Prayer
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit
did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that by the same Holy Spirit
we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
