Holy Spirit, teacher of prayer,
you lead us to pray in thanksgiving
for the Father's countless blessings;
you help us to respond with our
own blessings of thanks and praise.
Spirit of the promise,
you prepare us to meet Jesus in the liturgy,
awakening faith, peparing hearts to be fertile soil
where good seed can take root.
Spirit of truth,
you make God's word come alive for us,
unfolding its meaning and significance
so that it becomes an encounter with the living Word,
Jesus, in whom we see the Father.
Breath of life,
you breathe life into every liturgical celebration
so that it becomes what it represents,
and we are made participants, not spectators,
in the saving mysteries.
Spirit of Christ,
you gather God's scattered children together into
the one Body of Christ.
you live in us as a burning flame of love
to help us offer our lives as a living sacrifice
and bear lasting fruit in your service.
