The messianic Hebrew Prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of the Messiah. 

When Jesus began his public ministry, he read from the Prophet Isaiah in the temple, He opened the scroll to these words, 

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Isaiah 61, Luke 4) 

With that proclamation, Jesus identified Himself as the promised messiah. 

The Holy Spirit had spoken through that same prophet these words concerning the Messiah, 

“There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.” (Isaiah 11) 

These gifts of the Holy Spirit are also still given to the Body of Jesus Christ, His Church.

Let us pray for a renewal of these gifts in the Universal Church - and in the domestic church of the Christian family.

Come Holy Spirit, fill us with your gifts. 

[Prayer]

Beloved Father, through the life, death and resurrection of your only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ, we have become your adopted sons and daughters. 

Through Baptism we are now members of His Body, the Church. 

Our Savior Jesus taught us that “whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.” 

We thank you that promise includes each one of us.

As members of the family of Jesus we now turn to you in prayer. 

Before He ascended to you, Jesus told His early followers to wait in Jerusalem, seeking the outpouring of Holy Spirit. They did as he directed, gathering together with the Mother of the Lord. 

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit fell upon them all, clothing them with power - and equipping them to continue the work and ministry of Jesus Christ. 

This once frightened group of men and women then “turned the world upside down with their message.” (Acts 17:6)
Led by the Holy Spirit, they left the upper room, and went into the whole world. They proclaimed the Gospel, and did what Jesus did, spreading and revealing His Kingdom.

We ask now for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Church in this age, a New Pentecost.
 
Too often we have acted like the disciples who Paul met in Ephesus who “never even heard that there was a Holy Spirit”. (Acts 1) 

Come Holy Spirit, come into the Church of Jesus Christ and Awaken her! Fill her Bishops, priests, deacons, ministers - and all her leaders - afresh. 

Baptize the whole Body of Christ. Heal the divisions within the Body of Christ.

Come Holy Spirit, Come. Send forth your Fire on the earth!

We also ask for a fresh outpouring on the domestic church of the Christian family. 

In an age rejecting the truth of Gods loving plan for the family, Holy Spirit, transform Christian families into a sign of the Kingdom, through your power. Make them into the little platoons which will lead a great Awakening of Christianity and turn the world upside down.  

Come Holy Spirit. You reveal the mind of the Lord. You search me, and know me and my needs.

I specifically bring to you now my own personal intention:  

[ADD YOUR SPECIFIC INTENTION HERE]

GLORY BE TO THE FATHER, AND THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, AMEN

Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of your faithful. Come Holy Spirit and Awaken the Church!

May the Blessing of Almighty God, 

Father, Son and Holy Spirit come upon you and remain with you forever

AMEN
