Come, Holy Spirit!
Fill our hearts with gratitude and love for the precious Gift of the most Holy Eucharist You have given us to be our spiritual Food and Drink for our Journey of Faith.

Enkindle within us the “Fire of Your Love”, and inspire within us the desire to be like Jesus, Who won our Salvation and Who redeemed us from sin and death.

Help us, O Spirit of Mercy, to be poured out in charity, so that we can love as Jesus loves, in all that we think, say and do.

May You, O Spirit of Truth, give us the courage to be joyful witnesses to Jesus in our lives, and to always speak the Truth in Love.

Make our lives and homes places where Saints are formed, and where holy Vocations to the Priesthood, Consecrated Life, and Sacramental Marriage are fostered.

Help us, O Spirit of Compassion, to see all those who suffer and are in need as You see them---as sisters and brothers in Christ.

May St. Augustine, our diocesan Patron, lead our restless hearts to find rest in You, and may Mary, the Mother of the Church, intercede for us, and lead us always to the Heart of her Divine Son.

Come, Holy Spirit, come into our lives, our parish, and our Diocese, and lead us always to live our lives according to Your holy Will, now and forever. Amen.
