Almighty and everlasting God, who in days of old didst cause thy Word to grow mightily and to prevail: We praise and magnify thy holy name for the manifestation of thy presence in this our day, and we beseech thee to pour out thy Spirit upon the Church, that thy way may be known upon earth and thy saving health among all nations; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Holy Spirit is a living fountain ("fons vivus", Veni Creator) in God's Church. When the apostles visibly lay their hands on people when administering the sacraments, they are invisibly filled with the Spirit.@CdeChantilly Ms Fr 71,f.25
