An ancient prayer from The Clementine Liturgy for love, holiness, holy spirit.
O God Almighty, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Thine only begotten Son, give me a body unstained, a pure heart, a watchful mind, and an upright understanding, and the presence of Thy Holy Spirit, that I may obtain and ever hold fast to an unshaken faith in Thy Truth, through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord; through whom be glory to Thee in the Holy Ghost, forever and ever.
Amen.
This prayer is for love, holiness, holy spirit. It gives the request old words: fewer tricks, more flame.
Lord, hear this ancient prayer for love, holiness, holy spirit. Give mercy, strength, and a heart made faithful before Thee. Amen.
This prayer comes from the ancient church’s habit of asking directly: for mercy, for holiness, for protection, for light. It does not perform spirituality. It reaches for God.
Use it as written, or let it become a frame for the person and need in front of you.
