Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
O Holy Spirit, Beloved of my soul, I adore You.
Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen 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, O Holy Spirit.

(Romans 8:26-27)

“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you” (John 14:15-17).
“But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26).
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13).
“See I am going to send down upon you the promise of My Father. Remain here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:48-49).
