Holy Spirit,
Sweet guest of My Soul,
Abide In Me
and Grant That I May Ever
abide in You.

L: In the beginning, at creation, you hovered over the water.
A: Come Holy Spirit, as by a New Pentecost.
L: You breathed into Adam a breath of life.
A: Come Holy Spirit, Breath of God, breathe in us today.
L: You anointed the prophets and kings.
A: Come Holy Spirit, anoint us for your service. Send us anew to bring good news to the poor.
L: To Elijah you came with the sound of a gentle breeze, to the Apostles with the sound of a mighty wind.
A: Come Holy Spirit, in your gentleness and might.
L: You are the living water, the river of life that brings fruitfulness and joy.
A: Come Holy Spirit, flow freely in your Church.
L: You overshadowed Mary at the Annunciation.
A: Come Holy Spirit, overshadow us today with your power, that the will of God may be accomplished in us and through us.
L: You appeared as a dove at the baptism of Jesus Christ.
A: Come Holy Spirit, fill the world anew with the gift of your peace.
L: You came at Pentecost fulfilling the promise of the Father. You filled the disciples of Jesus who had gathered in prayer and appeared with tongues of fire.
A: Come Holy Spirit, lead us anew to Jesus Christ. May we be baptised with Holy Spirit and fire.
L: You are the love of God poured into our hearts.
A: Come Holy Spirit, make us one. Fill us and empower us with your presence that we may live in love as sons and daughters of God.
Lord Jesus, I believe that you are risen from the dead and that you are alive. I give you my life. By the power of your Holy Spirit draw me deeper into you and help me to live for you in every aspect of my life. I renounce everything that would separate me from you and I proclaim you as the only Lord of my life. Amen.
