Description
This is a description of a Catholic Confirmation gift, an 8x10 prayer to the Holy Spirit. The prayer is suitable for any Christian and asks for guidance, illumination, and sanctification. The prayer also renounces evil and promises to follow the Holy Spirit's commands. The design features a descending dove, flickering flames, and a luminous cross, with pale blue ribbons blowing in the wind. The artist credits the Holy Spirit for the success of the artwork.
Often used as a Confirmation Prayer, this is a beautiful prayer to the Holy Spirit appropriate for any Christian, at any time: "O Holy Spirit of God, take me as your disciple. Guide me, Illuminate me, Sanctify me. Bind my hands, that they may do no evil. Cover my eyes, that they may see it no more. Sanctify my heart, that evil may not dwell within me. You are my God. You are my guide. Whatsoever you forbid me, I will renounce. And whatsoever you command me, in your strength I will do. Lead me then unto the fullness of your truth. Amen." A descending dove and symbolic flickering flames entwine with the text of the prayer to form a luminous cross. Pale blue ribbons are blown by a gentle wind. I love how this drawing turned out, and honestly, when Holy-Spirit-themed art turns out wonderfully, the Holy Spirit should get the credit!
