Daily Prayers by Brother Matthew

Praise be to you, Holy Spirit. Come down on us like the spring rains to give growth to what you have already planted in our hearts. And then it will be our joy to let ourselves be guided by you. Shape us day by day into the image of Jesus, the Son of the God of Life.

PENTECOST Praise be to you, Risen Christ, for the gift of your Holy Spirit, the free gift of your presence, who dwells in our hearts. We say to him: "Holy Spirit, lead us always on the path of Christ, enable us to hear his words." And in our turn, we will sing of your wonders.

Christ Jesus, your love is never just a word: it is your life laid down for us. Send your Holy Spirit to remind us of all that you taught your friends. And then for us, every time we do something good, every time we show attention to the people you entrust to us, even in just a small way, we will be reflecting your presence.
