THE HOLY SPIRIT

I love thee!

Thou who art my guide, my counselor,

My teacher, my consolation, my advocate, my all

Thou who art my assurance of eternal life

Thou whose presence tells me of my position as a son and an heir

Thou whose guidance leads me daily

Thou who art the Father’s mark of ownership on me

Thou whose temple I am

I love thee!

Thou transforming, consuming fire

Thou who transformed the fearfully sanguine Apostle Peter into the courageous evangelist Peter

Thou who transformed the hate filled choleric Saul into the Christ driven Apostle Paul

Thou who transformed the phlegmatic Abram into the Father of faith Abraham

Thou who transformed the melancholic prince Moses into the Leader Moses

Transform me, I pray thee, into all the Father made me to be

I love thee!

Thou giver of gifts

Gifts of prophecy,

Word of knowledge,

Discernment of spirits,

Gift of wisdom,

Workings of miracles,

Healings of all kinds,

Speaking of tongues,

Interpretation of tongues,

Gifts of faith

Many other gifts as given by the Father and the Son

I ask of thee, give as thou wilt.

I love thee!

Powerful spirit, sweet spirit,

Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control

May I be more like thee in every one of these

I love thee!

 Who brought the world into being

I love thee who sustains it by thy might

I love thee, who art all glorious and holy

I love thee, inspiration of the Father,

I love thee, consoler and empowerer of the Son

I love thee, Sweet Spirit

I love thee, fill me more, fill me daily

I love thee
