Praying with God: Prayers to the Holy Spirit

The invocation of the Holy Spirit has been present since the earliest centuries of the Church and is rooted in Scripture and in the early liturgy. Christians learned very early to invoke Him as the One who enlightens, sanctifies, and inwardly guides the faithful. After Christ's Ascension, the Apostles remained gathered in prayer, awaiting the promised coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Thus, for many centuries, the faithful have sought to pray to God asking for light, strength, consolation, and interior renewal. Inspired by this ancient devotion, Praying with God: Prayers to the Holy Spirit brings together a collection of prayers to draw near to the Paraclete, contemplate His gifts, and open the heart to His sanctifying action in daily life. The practice of novenas to the Holy Spirit also has ancient roots, recalling the prayerful waiting of the Apostles between the Ascension and Pentecost. This book includes a novena of daily prayer, traditional images of the Holy Spirit, spaces to write down intentions, and relevant Scripture passages, making it an ideal resource for those who desire to grow in faith, persevere in prayer, and live with greater docility to the presence of God.
