Saint Josemaria's Prayer to the Holy Spirit
In April 1934, Saint Josemaria composed a prayer to the Holy Spirit that he prayed frequently and encouraged others to pray.
"The Holy Spirit unites us to Christ"
'The Mass is long', you say, and I add: 'Because your love is short.' (The Way, 529)
“Lord, if you will, you can make me clean”
The heart has been created to love, do not doubt it. Let us therefore bring Our Lord Jesus Christ into the love that we feel. Otherwise, the empty heart takes revenge and fills itself up with the most despicable vileness. (Furrow, 800)
“Come, Sanctifier, almighty and eternal God”
Be a eucharistic soul! If the centre around which your thoughts and hopes turn is the Tabernacle, then, my child, how abundant the fruits of your sanctity and apostolate will be! (The Forge, 835)
