Prayer of Saint John Paul II to the Holy Spirit
“Come, Creator Spirit, visit the souls of your faithful and fill their hearts with divine grace,
that you yourself created. You are our Comforter, gift of God Most High, living source, fire, charity and spiritual anointing. You pour out on us the seven gifts; You, the finger of the hand of God; You, the promised of the Father; You, who put on our lips the treasures of your word. Light up our senses with your light; pour your love into our hearts; and, with your perpetual help,
strengthen our weak flesh. Keep the enemy away from us, give us peace soon, be our guide yourself, and placed under your direction, we will avoid everything harmful. Through You let us know the Father, and also the Son; and that in You, Spirit of both, we believe at all times. Glory to God the Father, and to the Son who resurrected, and to the Comforting Spirit, for infinite centuries. Amen.
Send your Spirit and they will be created. And you will renew the face of the earth. O God, you have illuminated the hearts of your children with the light of the Holy Spirit; make us docile to your Spirit to always taste good and enjoy its consolation. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.”

Prayer to the Holy Spirit of Pope Francis
“Holy Spirit, memory of God, revive in us the memory of the gift received. Free us from the paralysis of selfishness and kindle in us the desire to serve, to do good. Because worse than this crisis, it is only the drama of wasting it, closing in on ourselves”. “Come, Holy Spirit, You who are harmony, make us builders of unity; You who always give yourself, grant us the courage to come out of ourselves, to love and help us, to become one family. Amen”.

“TWe ask that you pour out the gifts and blessings of the Holy Spirit on all those confirmed, so that through their prayers they may know You more each day and so that they may be faithful to Your Word. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.”
