Day Four: Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows him. But you know him, because he remains with you, and will be in you…. The Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you. (John 14:15-17;25-26)
INTERCESSORY PRAYERS: Holy Spirit, Gift of the Father, you guide us always with the light of your truth. You stand ever ready at our side, Holy Paraclete, as our advocate, counselor, helper and comfort. Remain with us always, Gentle Teacher, even unto the end of time. Remind us of all that Jesus said and did so that we may remain faithful to his commands and reap the rewards of the heavenly kingdom. Come Spirit of Truth, and rest upon us. Enlighten our minds with your wisdom, counsel, understanding, and knowledge that we may be truly wise and rejoice forever in your consolation.
Come Holy Spirit. Come Spirit of Jesus and anoint us with your truth.
