To prepare for the coming feast of Pentecost, we would like to share with you a prayer that is dear to our community:

CARDINAL MERCIER’S PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

I am going to reveal to you a secret of sanctity and happiness. For five minutes every day quieten your imagination, close your eyes to everything visible and your ears to all external sounds and withdraw into the sanctuary of your baptised soul which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. There, speak to the Holy Spirit and say:

O Holy Spirit 
soul of my soul 
I adore you. 
Enlighten me
guide me, 
strengthen me and console me.

Tell me what I ought to do
and command me to do it.
I promise to submit to everything 
that you ask of me 
and to accept all 
that you allow to happen to me.
Just show me what is your will.

If you do this, your life will be happy and serene. Even in the midst of troubles you will experience great consolation, for grace will be given to strengthen and help you to cope with every difficulty.
