Come, Holy Spirit, and renew us!
Dearest brothers and sisters in Christ,
May the peace of the Risen Jesus always be with us all!
In the month of May, dedicated to our Holy Mother Mary, we prayed together so that we may always remain in the light of Jesus and be, in turn, a reflection of His eternal splendor.
To be transmitters of the living light, the Lord helps us by sending us the Holy Spirit.
Just as we cannot see electricity, which is so powerful that it lights and powers many mechanisms, in the same way the Holy Spirit, omnipresent with the power of divine love, unites us and allows us to work with God.
“The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Romans 5:5).
God is love, the Spirit of God is within us, He enters our hearts, moves our minds, and drives us to act—provided that we open ourselves:
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).
In everyday situations, in times of difficulty and suffering, we often forget to open the door of our hearts and invite the Holy Spirit to be with us, within us, and act for us.
Come, Holy Spirit, and dwell in us!
Open our eyes so that we may see the path that leads to eternity.
Enlighten our minds so we can understand God’s plans.
Untie the knots in our hearts so we may forgive and love unconditionally.
Free us from the chains of sin that bind us to evil, so that we may run toward God the Father.
Come, Holy Spirit, and live in us.
United in prayer, we invoke the descent of the Holy Spirit upon all of us!
Come, Holy Spirit, and renew us!
