Asking for the Holy Spirit

..Ask for the Holy Spirit...

Heavenly Father, through your Son Jesus fill me completely with your Holy Spirit that I may overflow with your abundant love. Seal me with this same Spirit and anoint me so that, guided with His power, I may aspire today to that which you have purposed for me. I pray that this day I will walk with you as your child in making decisions after your Heart. I pray for uprightness in my relationships with you and others. Father grant me the grace to work with you in bringing into right order my emotions and passions. And give me strength to follow through with firm purpose the plans you lay before me, even in the face of difficulty and trial. Finally, Father, fill me with gifts from on high – holy fear of offending you, true piety, in my relationships godly fortitude, docility to godly counsel, knowledge to conduct my life aright, understanding and perspective of the way things fit together and wisdom to guide my thoughts, words and conduct. I pray that you bring me more into the likeness of your Son, Christ Jesus in all things through the power of the Holy Spirit. All this I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

An Hour of Mercy prayers

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us. I trust in You

Sala ya asubuhi

Ee Bwana nitakutukuza,kwa maana umeniinua

Unisafishe kwa hisopo nami nitakuwa safi,unioshe nami nitakuwa mweupe kuliko theluji


Ee Mungu uniumbie Moyo safi,

uifanye upya Roho iliyotulia ndani yangu

usinitenge na uso wako wala Roho yako Mtakatifu usiniondolee

unirudishie furaha ya wokovu wako,

unitegemeze kwa roho ya wepesi


Ee Mungu unichunguze uujue moyo wangu,

unijaribu uyajue mawazo yangu,uone kama iko njia iletayo majuto ndani yangu

ukaniongoze katika njia ya milele


Unifanye kusikia fadhili zako asubuhi,kwa maana nimekutumaini wewe

Unijulishe njia nitakayoiendea,kwa maana nakuinulia nafsi yangu Isa 48:17

Uniponye na adui zangu maana nimekukimbilia wewe


Unifundishe kuyatenda mapenzi yako kwa maana ndiwe Mungu wangu

Roho yako mwema aniongoze kwenye nchi sawa


Mawazo ya moyo wangu na maneno ya kinywa changu

yapate kibali mbele zako Ee Mungu mwokozi wangu


Uniwezeshe kukaa kwako na kukuhimidi daima,

nguvu zangu zote na zitoke kwako

na kila
nitakachokifanya leonikifanye katika nguvu za Roho wako Mtakatifu


Unitumie vile utakavyobaba,

mapenzi yako juu ya maisha yangu kwa siku ya leo yakatimie


Niwezeshe kutumika kwa upole,utii na unyenyekevu nikitembea na wewe daima

sikuzote na siku moja tupate kufurahi pamoja na watakatifu wako mbinguni.AMINA
