CROSS
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 Holy Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever enjoy his consolations. Through the same Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer before the Gospel Reading
Lord, inspire us to read your Scriptures and to meditate
upon them day and night. We beg you to give us real
understanding of what we need, that we in turn may put
its precepts into practice. Yet we know that
understanding and good intentions are worthless, unless
rooted in your graceful love. So we ask that the words of
Scripture may also be not just signs on a page, but
channels of grace into our hearts.
Amen.
