Holy Spirit, Sanctifier of our lives, dwell in us and bear constant witness to us of our relationship with the Father that we avoid what is displeasing to Him who gave us His Son to death that we might have eternal life; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Father are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen
Beloved Jesus, who gave sight to the blind and who opens the windows of the soul, enable us, who by grace are sighted people, to see our fellow-redeemed with Your compassion and to see the promised glory with Your certainty; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen.
We stagger, almighty God, whose justice demands death for sin—we stagger at the height and depth of Your love for us sinners, for by it we have been snatched from judgment and death for freedom and for life in the reconciliation effected by Jesus Christ; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen.
Heavenly Father, Who demands an impossible perfection and then in Jesus Christ confers righteousness upon the faithful, let Christ's righteousness in us compel us to such life and living that the world will take note and offer You praise and honor; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen
Holy Spirit, as You led Jesus, the Christ, into the wilderness to be tempted by the Evil One, lead us out of all temptations that come to us by Satan, the world, and our flesh, that by Your power and leading we may emerge from our wilderness as victorious as our Savior left His; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Father are one God with dominion over us forever.
“Father forgive them for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34).” Do we find ourselves inwardly and/or outwardly miserable in heart and mind because we truthfully do not forgive others who have wronged us?
Holy Spirit, by whose power Your servants are moved to speak for God, and by whom the Scriptures are infused with power to convince us of the truths of God, help us that, moved by Your direction to make known the Word, we may proclaim it with faithfulness; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Father are one God with dominion over us forever.
Holy Spirit, for whom our very bodies are temples in which You dwell, because You alone have brought us to our commitment to Jesus Christ through the Word, lead us always deeper into faith and trust in Christ; who with You and the Father are one God with dominion over us forever.
Holy Spirit, who calls and sanctifies us by the Gospel proclamation alone, bless all who would evangelize the neighborhood with the wisdom that it is only in the proclamation of the Gospel that You have elected to call mankind to the saving faith; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Father are one God with dominion over us forever.
Heavenly Father, for Whom Jesus is spokesman, by the power of the Spirit in us change our hearts that we may be humble, merciful, pure in heart, pursuing righteousness and peace, as Jesus, Your Word, enjoined us once on a mountainside; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one Lord with dominion over us forever.
