Novena to the Holy Spirit - Day 7

Every day begin by praying the following prayer:

O Holy Spirit, divine Consoler!

I adore you as my True God.

I bless You, by uniting myself to the praises

You receive from the angels and saints.

I offer You my whole heart and I render You heartfelt thanks

for all the benefits You have bestowed

and do unceasingly bestow upon the world.

I beg You, Who are the Author of all supernatural gifts

And Who enriched with immense favors the soul

of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God,

to visit me by Your grace and Your love,

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

(Mention your request)

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.

Amen.

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

and kindle in them the fire of Your love!

Seventh Day

Come, O Holy Spirit, creator of all things; 

come visit our hearts with Your power.

Fill with grace, dear friendly guest, 

the hearts which You have created.

You are called the Consoler, 

gift from the hand of God, 

source of life, light, love, and flame, highest good.

You are the pledge of sevenfold 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 bodies strength 

that they may never grow weary of doing good.

Keep the enemy far from us, 

give us peace always, 

and let us willingly follow in 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, 

in the risen Son of God, in the Consoler!

Amen.
