Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Prayer to the Holy Spirit June 13, 2006

In the Orthodox Church, most every service …

In the Orthodox Home, most every time of prayer …

Begins …

O heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth
Who art everywhere present and fillest all things
Treasury of good things
And giver of Life
Come and dwell in us
And cleanse us from all impurity
And save our souls, O Good One.

Various translations, this one from memory

EXCEPT …

We do not say this prayer from Pascha (Easter) until Pentecost — when we “relive” the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Disciples.

Grace reflects on this.

Seraphim on the season.
