Litany of The Holy Spirit
To Christians, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Holy Trinity, after the Father and the Son. It is a Divine Breath that the Lord sent down on earth to pass through us during baptism. The Holy Spirit can transform our lives, if we allow It to act. Following the model of the Litany of the Saints, the Litany to the Holy Spirit can help us invoke and pray to It by remembering the many gifts and charisms He can pass on us.

Prayers to The Holy Spirit
There are many ways to pray to the Holy Spirit: two prayers are especially favoured and used by Christians around the world, called Veni Creator Spiritus and Veni Sancte Spiritus.
The Holy Spirit is the great comforter Jesus promised will purify us, fortify us, free us through Its seven gifts, and lead us to the Kingdom of God.
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans, 14:17)
