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 seven.

Come Holy Spirit, creator of all things.

Come visit our hearts with your power.

Fill with grace, friendly guests, the hearts which you have created.

You are called the consoler, gift from the hand of God, source of life, light, love, and flame. I is good.

You are the pledge of seven-fold grace,

finger of the Father's Hand, promised us by Him,

and you make our tongues speak the truth.

Cast light on our senses,

pour love into our hearts, grant our weak weak body strength that they may never grow weary of doing good and grant me the favor i so earnestly seek in this novena keep the enemy far from us give us peace always let us willingly follow your footsteps, that we may be far removed from sin.

Grant that through you, we may grow in knowledge of the Father and of the Son, and that we may

ever strongly believe in you, the spirit of both.

Praise and honor be forever to the Father on the highest throne
