We begin with the sign of the cross, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Examine your conscience. (Take a few minutes. In silence, remember and feel sorry for your sins, and think of ways you will amend your life.)

Pray the Act of Contrition.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all (2 Corinthians 13:14). Fellowship with the Holy Spirit means that you are in relationship, in union with the Holy Spirit. The people of God needed a Messiah, a Saviour, to save them from their sins. Jesus Christ is our Messiah, our Saviour. When Jesus Christ walked on this earth, He taught His disciples the ways of God. When He ascended to heaven, He sent us the Holy Spirit to teach us the ways of God. When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come (John 16:13).

The Holy Spirit lives within us, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. To fellowship with the Holy Spirit, we need to be filled daily with the Holy Spirit, just like the apostles of Jesus were filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:3-4).

Pray the prayer to the Holy Spirit every day for an infilling of the Holy Spirit.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.
