Come Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
This short invocation draws on the ancient Pentecost sequence "Veni Sancte Spiritus" and has long been used before councils, exams, and personal decisions as a plea for the Spirit's guiding light. Its brevity has made it one of the most frequently prayed calls for guidance in the Church.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy his consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
