Come Holy Spirit
or the prayer to the Holy Spirit:
If the first part of the petition is addressed to the Holy Spirit, does it make sense to ask the Holy Spirit to send forth His Spirit? The second part is addressed to God the Father, so wouldn't it make more sense to include this part:
"Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth."
after that?
As that is taken from Psalm 104, verse 30, can it be argued that it is actually addressing Christ (and the Father)?
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.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Veni Creator Spiritus
Given that it was supposedly written by Rabanus Maurus (c. 8th ce), one shouldn't be surprised that the hymn reflects a Latin Pneumatology (with one of its sourcesbeing St. Augustine?).

Lord, Have Mercy
We need to pray, with everything that is going on between Constantinople and Moscow, with Ukraine in the middle.

Rorate Caeli: De Mattei: The Church and the Men of the Church
The courageous denunciation of ecclesiastical scandals made by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has generated the consensus of many, but also the displeasure of others, convinced that everything discrediting the representatives of the Church should be covered up by silence. This desire to safeguard the Church is understandable...

If he is serious, he will resign.
CWR: Is Pope Francis serious about addressing abuse crisis and its causes? by Christopher R. Altieri
Francis apparently believes that airing bishops’ dirty laundry is not the right thing to do—and that is a large part of the attitude that got us to this point in the first place.
