"At the heart of a world imbued with a rationalistic skepticism, a new experience of the Holy Spirit suddenly burst forth. And, since then, that experience has assumed a breadth of a worldwide Renewal movement. What the New Testament tells us about the charisms - which were seen as visible signs of the coming of the Spirit - is not just ancient history, over and done with, for it is once again becoming extremely topical." - Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith |
[Pope Benedict] |
“Holy Spirit, fill me with Your power so that even those who don't know You may see the difference You make in my life. Spirit of God, since there is nowhere I can go to flee from You, teach me to live each moment in the awareness that You are always with me. O Lord, as Your Spirit once hovered over the dark chaos of creation, help me to believe that in the darkness of my life You are still there, still watching, still protecting. Thank You that the light of Your presence will shine. Spirit of God, give holy zeal to Your servants today. May Your people speak Your truth without fear for the consequences. Set me on fire with  holy desire to do Your will. Spirit of God, I am thirsty until you flow through me. I am empty till You fill me. I am dry until You cause life to spring up once again. Thank You. Spirit of God, I worship You not as some angelic being or some mystical force but as You are very God of very God. Holy Spirit, show me the next step I should take in my journey with You. Spirit of God, give me listening ears to hear Your voice speaking to me. May I never take You for granted, but respond quickly to Your leading in my life. Spirit of God, search my heart for the tiniest seeds of an ungrateful spirit. Then grant me grace to remove those seeds before they grow into bitter fruit in my life. Spirit of God, I am weary and need the rest You have promised. As You gave rest to Your people in days past, so lead me now to the "level plain" where I can get rest for my soul. Spirit of God, just as You descended from Heaven upon Jesus, descent on me today that I might know the fullness of Your Power. Holy Spirit, make the things of God real to me today. O Flame of God, set me on fire with holy zeal. Ignite my heart with holy passion. Spirit of God, may the beauty of Jesus be seen in me today. Spirit of truth, ground me in the Word of truth that I may bear witness to Jesus Christ who is the Truth. Amen. |
