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 6. O Father in Heaven, I beg you to send. Day six.

O Father in heaven, I beg you to send the Holy Spirit.

May your Holy Spirit remind me when I am apt to forget your law.

Your love, your promises.

May your Holy Spirit strengthen my memory to recall frequently your sanctity,

unimposence, wisdom, and goodness, faithfulness,

and love. May your Holy Spirit encourage me when I am slothful, strengthen me when I am weak,

enlighten me when I no longer can help myself. Breathe into me, O Holy Spirit, that I may do what is holy, stir me that I may do what is holy Stir me that I may love what is holy

Strengthen me that I may preserve what is holy

Protect me Holy Spirit that I may never lose what is holy

And grant me the favor I so earnestly seek in this novena

Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of your faithful,

and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
