Blessings on Pentecost Sunday

Hello out there! Today is Pentecost Sunday! Come, Holy Spirit!
The following prayer is from the May 2018 issue of our Catholic newspaper,
"West Texas Angelus" - I don't know who wrote this beautiful prayer - the editor
of the paper put it in, "The Prayer Square" on page 3. It is an awesome prayer!
The picture is from an old bible - Blessings to you and yours on this special
day and always!

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit.
Replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation.
Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm.
Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence.
Replace the fear within us with a strong faith.
Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace.
Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light.
Replace the coldness within us with a  loving warmth.
Replace the night within us with Your day.
Replace the winter within us with Your spring.


Straighten our crookedness.
Fill our emptiness.
Dull the edges of our pride.
Sharpen the edge of our humility.
Light the fires of our love.
Quench the flames of our lust.


Let us see ourselves as YOU see us,
That we may see You as You have promised us,
and be healed according to Your word.
