COME, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,

and in our souls take up Thy rest;

come with Thy grace and heavenly aid

to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

O comforter, to Thee we cry,

O heavenly gift of God Most High,

O fount of life and fire of love,

and sweet anointing from above.

Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;

Thou, finger of God's hand we own;

Thou, promise of the Father, Thou

Who dost the tongue with power imbue.

Kindle our sense from above,

and make our hearts o'erflow with love;

with patience firm and virtue high

the weakness of our flesh supply.

Far from us drive the foe we dread,

and grant us Thy peace instead;

so shall we not, with Thee for guide,

turn from the path of life aside.

Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow

the Father and the Son to know;

and Thee, through endless times confessed,

of both the eternal Spirit blest.

Now to the Father and the Son,

Who rose from death, be glory given,

with Thou, O Holy Comforter,

henceforth by all in earth and heaven.

Amen.

Breathe on me, Holy Spirit, may my thoughts be holy.

Guide me, Holy Spirit, so that my works may be holy.

Seduce me, Holy Spirit, make the love in me holy.

Give me your strength, Holy Spirit, so that I keep what is holy in me.

Preserve me, Holy Spirit, from ever losing your holiness that is in me.

-Saint Agustin

Holy Spirit, I ask for the gift of wisdom for a better understanding of you and your divine perfection.

I ask you for the gift of intelligence for a better understanding of the spirit of the mysteries of the holy faith.

Give me the gift of science, so that I know how to direct my life according to the principles of this faith.

Give me the gift of advice, so that in everything, I seek advice from you and always find it with you.

Give me the gift of strength so that no earthly fear or concern can separate me from you.

Give me the gift of piety so that I can always serve your divine majesty with filial love.

Give me the gift of the fear of God so that no fear or earthly motivation can separate me from you.

- Saint John Paul II 

Oh Holy Spirit, love of the Father and Son. Always inspire me What I should think. What I should say. How I should say it. When I should be silent. How i should write. How I should act. What I should do For your Glory, the good of the souls and my own sanctification.

Draw my heart,
O Holy Spirit,

Strengthen me,
O Holy Spirit,
to defend all that is holy.

Guard me so,
O Holy Spirit,

Holy Spirit of light and love, you are the substantial love of the Father and the Son; hear my prayer. Bounteous bestower of most precious gifts, grant me a strong and living faith which makes me accept all revealed truths and shape my conduct in accord with them. Give me a most confident hope in all divine promises which prompts me to abandon myself unreservedly to you and your guidance. Infuse into me a love of perfect goodwill, and act according to God's least desires. Make me love not only my friends but my enemies as well, in imitation of Jesus Christ who through you offered himself on the Cross for all people. Holy Spirit, animate, inspire, and guide me, and help me to be always a true follower of you.

Amen. 

Oh Holy Spirit, You are the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. You are the Spirit of truth, love and holiness, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to Them in all things. I adore You and love You with all my heart. Teach me to know and to seek God, by whom and for whom I was created. Fill my heart with a holy fear and a great love for Him. Give me compunction and patience, and do not let me fall into sin. 

Increase faith, hope and charity in me and bring forth in me all the virtues proper to my state of life. Help me to grow in the four cardinal virtues, Your seven gifts and Your twelve fruits. 

Make me a faithful follower of Jesus, an obedient child of the Church and a help to my neighbor. Give me the grace to keep the commandments and to receive the sacraments worthily. Raise me to holiness in the state of life to which You have called me, and lead me through a happy death to everlasting life. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Grant me also, O Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, the special favor for which I ask {name special petition}, if it be for Your honor and glory and for my well being.

Amen.
