I ask God to hear and grant the prayers of your hearts.
Spirit of divine Love
Holy Spirit, You proceed uncreated from Father and Son, as their eternal Love. Spirit of Love please flood us with God’s love, for Saint Paul assures us that “The love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.” [Romans 5:5]
Through Baptism and Confirmation, You empower us as messengers of God’s word. Through You, the living Word of God flows out from the Church to the world. The word proclaimed in the liturgy before the worshipping assembly of the Church, disseminates through Your power. You, who spoke through the prophets, please continue to speak God’s word in our lives.
Through You, we receive faith that empowers us to fulfil God’s law of love. Give us trust, hope and wisdom that enable Your love to permeate our lives. Give us grace to accept Your inspiration and guidance in the Church, for You use Scripture, the Sacraments, and the teachings and precepts of the Church to instruct, enlighten, and encourage, to admonish and guide us in purity, in mutual forgiveness and development in wholesome humanity and spirituality. With Spirit-filled discussion and reflection, please deepen our insight of truth in faith and morals.
In our life together as a married couple, grant that joy and peace, which is fruit of Your love, fill our hearts, spilling into our children’s lives. We give praise and thanks, Holy Spirit that You share God’s life and being with us.
