The Holy Father’s Prayer for The Year of Faith
Spirit of Life,
which in the beginning hovered over the abyss,
help humanity of our time to understand
that the exclusion of God
leads to being lost in the desert of the world.
And that only where faith enters,
do dignity and liberty flourish
and the whole society is built on justice.
Spirit of Pentecost,
which makes of the Church one Body,
restore in the baptised
an authentic experience of communion;
render yourself a living sign
of the presence of the Risen One in the world,
a community of saints that live in the service of charity.
Holy Spirit, which trains to the mission,
make us recognise that, also in our time,
so many persons are in search of the truth
about their existence in the world.
Make us collaborators of their joy with
the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
grain of the wheat of God, which renders good the terrain
of life and assures the abundance of the harvest.
Amen.
