Why is the dove a symbol of the Holy Spirit?
The dove is an extraordinary bird, which presents several qualities that symbolically refer us to the Divine Holy Spirit.
Prayer to the Divine Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love; send your Spirit, Lord, and all will be created and you will renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray:
O God, who hast instructed the hearts of Thy faithful with the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the same Spirit we may rightly judge all things, and ever rejoice in His consolation. This we ask of Thee, O Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
