Novena to the Holy Spirit - Day 8

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!

Eighth Day

O Holy Spirit, life and light of the Church, 

give us thoughts higher than our own thoughts, 

prayers better than our own prayers, 

and powers beyond our own powers, 

that we may love and live, 

imitating Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Come to us, O Holy Spirit, 

come with the Father and the Son.

Dwell within our souls and 

quickly make our hearts Your own.

Quench in 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 inflame.

Amen.
