Even from the first words of the Bible, we can see that any true work begins with the presence and action of the Holy Spirit. Certainly, as I begin to share my humble thoughts and meditations with the wider world, I recognize the need to dedicate every word that is said here to the power of the Holy Spirit, Who perfects all of our actions and Who presents our humble offerings as acceptable to God.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful,
and enkindle in them the fire of Thy divine love.
Send forth Thy Word, and they shall be created,
and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray --
O God, who instructed the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant us in the same spirit to be truly wise,
and ever to rejoice in His consolation,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
