I believe in the
Holy Spirit
OPENING PRAYER
Oh Holy Spirit, You are the Third Person of the Blessed
Trinity. You are the Spirit of truth, love and holiness,
proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to
Them in all things. I adore You and love You with all my
heart. Teach me to know and to seek God, by whom
and for whom I was created.
Fill my heart with a holy fear and a great love for Him.
Give me compunction and patience,
and do not let me fall into sin.
Increase faith, hope and charity in me and bring forth
in me all the virtues proper to my state of life.
Help me to grow in the four cardinal virtues,
Your seven gifts and Your twelve fruits.
Make me a faithful follower of Jesus, an obedient
child of the Church and a help to my neighbor. Give
me the grace to keep the commandments and to
receive the sacraments worthily.
Raise me to holiness in the state of life to
which You have called me, and lead me
through a happy death to everlasting life.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Grant me also, O Holy Spirit, Giver of all good
gifts, the special favor for which I ask {name
special petition}, if it be for Your honor and
glory and for my well being. Amen.

the quality or virtue of refraining from
sexual activity that’s considered
immoral, especially according to the
teachings of a certain religion.
It sometimes means about the same
thing as celibacy—refraining from all
sexual activity. When members of
certain religions take a vow
of chastity, this is usually what it
means.

theology that focuses on the study of the Holy
Spirit. The term is derived from the Greek word
