Prayer to the Holy Spirit by St. Augustine
The Prayer to the Holy Spirit is a short and meaningful way to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and help in daily life. It focuses on holiness, reminding us to trust the Spirit to lead our thoughts, actions, and hearts. This prayer fits well with youth ministry themes like the gifts of the Holy Spirit and making good choices. It is also helpful for Confirmation preparation, as it encourages young people to open their lives to the Holy Spirit’s work. Use this prayer to help youth see the Spirit as a source of strength and guidance in their faith journey.
It is also good for for everyday use also. It is all about the call to holiness, which our Holy Father recently focused on in his apostolic exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate (Rejoice and Be Glad) — The Call to Holiness in Today’s World.
