GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
"I will send you the Holy Spirit"
A. OPENING SONG
COME HOLY SPIRIT
By Henderson, Ruth Watson
Come, Holy Spirit, we need You.
Come, Holy Spirit, we pray.
Come with Your strength and Your power.
Come in Your own special way.
Come like a spring in the desert.
Come to the weary of souls.
Lord, let Your sweet healing power,
Touch us and make us whole.
B. SCRIPTURAL READING
(Jn. 16,13-15)
But when He comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is Mine; for this reason I told you that He will take from you what is Mine and declare it to you.
C. MEDITATION
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the Gift I told you about, the Gift my Father promised. John baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1, 4-5) “Baptize all nations in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Mt. 28, 19) Now this is the abiding presence of the Blessed Trinity.
D. PRAYER
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful people and kindle in us the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and we shall be recreated. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray: O God, who by the light of Your Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of Your faithful, grant us the same Holy Spirit to be truly wise and enjoy His consolation, Amen.

Adorer’s Prayer
(Taught by the Angel of God to the three children at Fatima)
O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope, I love Thee!
I ask pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love Thee.
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I adore Thee profoundly!
I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Present in all the Tabernacles of the world,
for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference committed against Thee
in which He Himself is offended. Amen.
F. CLOSING SONG
SPIRIT OF GOD
By Barbara Ross and Robert Till
I. Spirit of God in the clear running water.
Blowing to greatness the trees on the hill.
Spirit of God in the finger of morning.
Refrain:
Fill the earth, bring it to birth
and blow where you will,
blow, blow, blow, till I be,
a breath of the Spirit blowing in me.
II. I saw the scar of a deer that lay dying,
heard the lament of a lone whippoorwill,
Spirit of God see that cloud crying.
(Repeat Refrain)
III. Spirit of God every man’s heart is lonely,
watching and waiting and hungry until,
Spirit of God man longs that You only.
(Repeat Refrain)
“Trust in the Father in Trust is Jesus.”
