TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

Day Holy
Spirit, Lord of light, from your clear celestial height, your pure beaming
radiance give. Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
O
God who has taught the hearts of your faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit;
grant that by the gift of the same Spirit we may be always truly wise and ever
rejoice in his consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Second
Day Come,
O Father of the poor, Come with treasures which endure, Come, O light of all
that live. Come, Holy Spirit, come
Let
us pray
O
Holy Spirit, father of the poor, come fill my poverty-stricken soul out of the
plenty of your eternal riches. Warn me, I beg, of every opportunity in my daily
round of duty, to lay up treasures where no thief approaches nor moth corrupts,
that I may enjoy them together with you forever. Amen.
Third
Day You
of all consoler’s best, visiting the troubled breast, refreshing peace
bestow. Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
O
Divine Consoler, and of all Comforters the best, to you do we come in trouble
and distress. Do, in the all-powerful name of Jesus, our Redeemer, and out of
love for Mary, our sorrowful Mother and your chaste Spouse, come to our assistance
and comfort us in all our trials and tribulations. Amen
Fourth
Day You
in toil are comfort sweet, Pleasant coolness in the heat, Solace in the midst
of woe. Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
O
God, who gives the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, grant to your people the effect
of their pious prayers, that on those to whom you have given grace, you may
also bestow peace. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
Fifth
Day Light
immortal, light divine, Visit these hearts of yours. And our inmost being fill.
Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
May
the Paraclete, who proceeds from you, enlighten our minds, we beseech, O Lord;
and even as your Son has promised, may he lead us into all truth. Amen.
Sixth
Day If
you take your grace away, nothing pure in man will stay; all his good is turned
to ill. Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
Send
down, we ask, O Lord, your Holy Spirit in his might, to the merciful purifying
of our hearts and to our sure deliverance from all danger. Who lives and reigns
world without end. Amen
Seventh
Day Heal
our wounds, our strength renew; on our dryness pour your dew; Wash the stains
of guilt away. Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
Burn
up, O Lord, the stains of our hearts in the fire of the Holy Spirit; that
chaste of body and clean of heart, our service may be well pleasing to you. Who
lives and reigns world without end. Amen.
Eighth
Day Bend
the stubborn heart and will, Melt the frozen, warm the chill, Guide the steps
that go astray. Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
Holy
Spirit, Spirit of Truth, come into our hearts; give to all peoples the
brightness of your light, that they may be well pleasing to you in unity of
faith. Amen
Ninth
Day On
those who evermore, confess and adore you, in your sevenfold gift
descend. Give them comfort when they die Give them life with you on
high, Give them joys which never end. Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Let
us pray
Send
down upon us, we ask, O Lord, the Holy Spirit, that, inspired and encouraged by
him, we may comply with the duties of our state, carry our daily crosses
patiently, and grow daily in Christian perfection. Grant us, we beseech through
the same Divine Spirit, the intentions of this novena or what is most conducive
to our eternal salvation and your glory. Amen
