Prayer for Renewal By the Cardinal Cantalamessa
Come and renew the face of the Church
Spirit Paraclete,
thou who hast raised up in the Church
the Charismatic Renewal,
descend again with power
On all the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the world.
Grant that the whole “current of grace”
be animated with new momentum.
With your holy anointing,
enable all of us to proclaim the good news to the poor
and to heal afflicted hearts.
Purify what is unclean in the Charismatic Renewal,
Heal what is wounded in it,
Warm what is chilled,
Straighten what is astray.
Bring together the scattered children of God
and Christians divided among them.
Renew our courage,
fill our loneliness in the world,
create in us intimacy with God!
Come, Holy Spirit, from the pierced side of Christ on the cross!
Come from the mouth of the Risen One!
Come and renew the face of the Church. Amen
by Cardinal Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa O.F.M. Cap.
