A prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, enlighten our hearts.

Give us light and strength

to know your will, to make it our own,

and to live it in our lives.

Guide us by your wisdom;

support us by your power; for you are God,

sharing the glory of Father and Son.

You desire justice for all:

enable us to uphold the rights of others;

do not allow us to be misled by ignorance

or corrupted by favor.

Unite us to yourself in the bond of love

and keep us faithful to all that is true.

Help us to temper justice with love,

so that all our decisions

may be pleasing to you,

and bring us the inheritance

promised to good and faithful servants.

You live and reign with the Father

and the Son, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen

- Adapted from a prayer said before 

every session of the Second Vatican Council
