Prayer of invocation to the Holy Spirit<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We stand before You, Holy Spirit, <\/span>as we gather together in Your name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With You alone to guide us, <\/span>make Yourself at home in our hearts;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teach us the way we must go <\/span>and how we are to pursue it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are weak and sinful; <\/span>do not let us promote disorder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path <\/span>nor partiality influence our actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us find in You our unity <\/span>so that we may journey together to eternal life\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and not stray from the way of truth <\/span>and what is right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All this we ask of You, <\/span>who are at work in every place and time,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

in the communion of the Father and the Son, <\/span>forever and ever. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n
