The Novena to the Holy Spirit

O Holy Spirit, divine consoler, I adore you as my true God.

I offer you my whole heart, and I give you heartfelt thanks for all the benefits you have bestowed upon the world.

You are the author of all supernatural gifts and enriched the

Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, with all favors. I ask you to visit me by your grace and your

love and grant me the favor that I now earnestly seek. O Holy Spirit, Spirit of truth, come into our hearts.

Shed the brightness of your light on all nations,

that they may be of one faith and pleasing to you.

Day 8.

O Holy Spirit, life and light of the Church,

give us thoughts higher than our thoughts,

and prayers better than our own prayers, and prayers beyond our own prayers, that we may love

and live imitating Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Come to us, Holy Spirit, come with the Father and the Son, and grant me the favor I so earnestly

request in the Snowvina.

Vouch safe to dwell within our souls, and quickly make our hearts your own.

Quenchant us the fires of hate and strife, the wasting fever of the heart.

From perils guard our feeble life, and to our souls your peace impart.

Let voice and mind and heart and strength confess and glorify your name, and let the fire of charity

burn bright and other hearts in flame.

Come Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of your faithful,

and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
