The Litany of the Holy Spirit
What a pleasure it was to find this Litany of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy ghost is sometimes referred to as the “neglected person of the Trinity.” However, our Lord expressed the importance of the Holy Spirit. He left the paraclete with us to guide us in all things.
Pope Benedict XVI said, “The Holy Spirit is almost the interpreter who makes God and us ourselves understand what we want to say.”
St. Paul of the Cross said, “You could not love Jesus if you did not possess the living source of holy and pure love, namely, the Holy Spirit.
Pray the Litany of the Holy Spirit especially when you need God’s help with discernment.
May this litany reinvigorate you to do God’s work!
***The Litany of the Holy Spirit is for private recitation only, which means they should be prayed inside the home – not publicly or during any sort of liturgy.
The Litany of the Holy Spirit, lists the ways that the Holy Ghost is important to us, maybe in ways we had not thought of.
