Prayer of the Holy Spirit

Mary, thank you for having called me to pray everyday to the Holy Spirit though whom you concieved Jesus Christ, through whom you understood the Word of God and remained faithful to the end. O Spirit, I pray to you now with Mary who called me to pray to you. Pour yourself out on me with all your gifts.
Pour out the gift of love into my life that from now on I may love God in you above all, and my neighbor as Jesus loved all of us.
Pour out the gift of Wisdom that in everything I do, think, feel, and decide, I may always think, feel, decide and act in Your Light.
O Spirit of Counsel, descend on me that I may, with my knowledge and the word of love, help those who ask me for counsel. Let my every word be a light to others.
Spirit of Jesus, grant me the gift of your strength that I may stand every trial and do the Father's will, especially in times of hardship. Spirit of fortitude, strengthen me in my hours of frailty.
O Spirit of life, develop the divine life which was given to me, though you, when I was in my mothers womb and in baptism.
Divine fire, inflame the fire of divine love in my heart so that the darkness and ice of sin may disappear from it.
Spirit of healing, heal within me all that is wounded and develop the undeveloped.
Descend on me with all your strenght that I may be thankful for small things as well. Enlighten me, Holy Spirit, that I may know how to appreciate crosses and hardships too.
Mary, you are the bearer of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for calling me to pray to the Spirit of truth. O Spirit of Truth, enlighten me with your truth that I may first live the truth of love, peace and righteousness. Help me that I may be able, with my words and deeds, to proclaim every day the Word of the Father in its full light, to everybody.
Holy Spirit, guide our Pope, bishops, preists and all others who proclaim the word of God. Fall on the parish community of Medugorje, as well as Luverne, that they may be able to live Our Lady's messeges from Medugorje and convey them to all. Fall on the priests who preach in Medugoje, and in Luverne. Fall on the confessors and those who confess their sins, let them be most blessed.
Spirit of prayer, teach us how to pray. Cleanse our hearts that we may pray worthily and always find time for prayer. Holy Spirit, pray within me and invoke the Father, my Father. Grant me the favor of praying with my heart.
