HOLY SPIRIT
A REFLECTION in Music and Prayer


“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:8 (NRSV)

Where in my life do I need the help of the Holy Spirit?
As I listen to the song Show me your way
I pray for the help that I need.

“Holy Spirit help me, I need you
to guide me and to show me what to do.
On my own I’m lost I need your light.
Please shine on me to-day, show me your way.

Spirit of truth, Spirit of wisdom,
Spirit of God come to our aid, we pray now.

Spirit of peace, Spirit of justice,
Spirit of love come to our aid, we pray now.

Holy Spirit help me, I need you
to guide me and to show me what to do.
On my own I’m lost I need your light.
Please shine on me to-day, show me your way.”

love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control.

Galatians 5:22 (NRSV)  


Which of these fruits of the Spirit
would be most useful in my life?

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience,
Kindness, Generosity, Faithfulness,
Gentleness, and Self-Control

I ask for them now
as I continue to pray to the Holy Spirit
and listen to the music of Veni Creator Spiritus.

“Glory be to him whose power working in us
can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine;
glory be to him from generation to generation in the Church
and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever.
Amen.”

Ephesians 3:20
