The prayer Adsumus sancte spiritus is attributed to St Isidore of Seville (560 - 636). It has been generally used for centuries at the opening of centuries-old councils and synods. However, it can also be used to implore the assistance and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit before taking any important action.

Here we are before You,
Holy Spirit ;
in Your name we are gathered.
You are our only counsellor,
come to us, dwell with us
deign to dwell in our hearts.
Teach us
to what end we should turn;
show us how
we should walk together.
We who are weak
and sinful, do not allow
that we should cause disorder.

Let ignorance
does not lead us
on the wrong road,
nor let partiality
influence our actions.
May we find in You
our unity, without straying
from the path of truth
and justice, moving forward
together towards eternal life.
We ask this of you
who acts at all times and in all places, in the communion
of the Father and the Son,
for ever and ever,
Amen.

Prayer to break all negative ties and receive God's blessing through the intercession of the Virgin Mary

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is the third person of the Trinity. His action is in perfect unity with the Father (GOD) and the Son (Jesus Christ). When we are in a state where we deserve to receive Him, He enlightens us, guides us, protects us from all dangers (spiritual and physical).

In the Bible, several symbols are used to designate the Holy Spirit: breath that makes you breathe; wind that pushes you out; oil that gives strength to athletes; fire that warms and purifies; dove that descends from heaven.

We can pray to the Holy Spirit to implore his gifts which are :

Wisdom: it makes us taste the presence of God, in a greater companionship with him, and a greater missionary dynamism. It is the contemplative gift par excellence.
Intelligence: it helps us to enter into the mystery of God, to understand the faith and the Scriptures from within, and to distinguish error from truth. Through this gift, every Christian can become an authentic theologian.
Science: it allows us to recognise God at work in nature and in history, to receive the world as a gift from God. It gives a sense of the precariousness of the universe.
Strength: it gives perseverance in times of trial, the courage to bear witness. It supports the martyrs, but also helps in the day-to-day fulfilment of one's duties as a state and in the spiritual struggle. It is the heroism of lowliness.
Counsel: this is the gift of spiritual discernment. It adjusts what to do or avoid, to say or not to say. It enables us to see clearly in ourselves and in others.
Piety: it allows us to experience God's fatherhood, his closeness, his tenderness. It gives us the confidence of a child. It also brings us close to others.
Fear: this is not the fear of God but the sense of his greatness. Awareness of the infinite distance between the Almighty and us, his creatures. This gift gives rise to an attitude of humility and wonder.
