A prayer 

"Come, Holy Spirit, come in our cities, in our homes, in our families, in 
our glances, in our hearts. Without you, we read books and do not become
wise. Without you, we dialogue much and do not come closer to one another.
Without you, reality consists in dry events, facts and numbers. Without you,
our life falls apart into a succession of meaningless days. Without you,
there is no fidelity. Without you, our thoughts become delirious. Without
you, technology destroys us. Without you, churches become museums. Without
you, prayer is just babbling. Without you, our smile becomes petrified.
Without you, our environment becomes a desert. Come, Holy Spirit, our
emptiness cries after your fullness! Come, Spirit Creator, make your
dwelling in our world!" The full article

The Sequence of the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, Lord of light, From Thy clear celestial height, Thy pure beaming radiance give.
Come, thou Father of the poor! Come, with treasures which endure! Come, thou light of all that live!

Thou, of all consolers best, and the soul’s delightsome guest, do refreshing Peace bestow; Thou in toil comfort sweet; pleasant coolness in the heat; solace in the midst of woe.

 Light immortal, Light divine, visit thou these hearts of thine, and our inmost being fill; If Thou take Your grace away, nothing pure in man will stay, all his good is turned to ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew; On our dryness pour Thy dew, wash the stains of guilt away; Bend the stubborn heart and will; Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Guide the steps that go astray.

Thou on us who evermore, Thee confess and Thee adore, With Thy sevenfold gifts descend: Give us comfort when we die;  Give us life with Thee on high; Give us joys which never end. Amen

Fr. Jozo Zovko's Speech at St. Paschal's Church (Thousand Oaks, California.)

We will invoke to Our Lord, Come Holy Spirit, Oh come Holy Spirit, you who make peace for each other in our hearts. Fill our hearts with peace, give me Your love that I may give and wish well for all, that I desire to pray good, and give blessings and peace to ever person.

Come Holy Spirit, you who prays, pour yourself out in prayer into my heart, that my heart may heal the hungry and thirsty. Come most Holy Spirit, you with the power that strengthens all. Come embrace me today, change me today, I have come to be happy. I have come to become closer to the Mother, I have come to give Her joy and love.

Come Holy Spirit, Come and change me, Come and bless me, Come and convert me.
Come most Holy Spirit. We invoke you most Holy Spirit.

(Song, "Spirit of the Living God...") (see above)

Come Holy Spirit, Come you Who are love, today I want to become love. I want to leave behind every conflict, and every bad thought.  Come Holy Spirit, come into my heart, renew all that is in my heart, in my relationships, in my neighbours, renew love within me.

Come most Holy Spirit, your Mother together with the Church prays to you.
