Come Holy Spirit

It is for your own good that I am going because unless I go, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I do go, I will send him to you.
Jn.16:7

Jesus is preparing his disciples for his approaching death. His departure is for their good. How? Because the Holy Spirit will then come.

Jesus elevates the importance of the Holy Spirit by doing a John the Baptist. "I must become less so that he can become more." This means the Holy Spirit is a key figure in my Christian walk. He is my advocate, my comforter, my guide and source of divine power. 

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.
