Novena to the Holy Spirit - Day 9

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!

Ninth Day

O Holy Spirit, 

grant me sight to see the wondrous promise of divine love, 

insight to see my own weakness, 

and delight in Your divine presence in my soul which You 

have made Your temple through sanctifying grace.

I pray, O Holy Spirit, 

that I may be not doubting, 

that I be spared the pain of being alone without trust or hope in Christ, 

and that my prayer may always be, "My Lord and my God!"

I pray that I may acquire a sense of retreat to prayer and recollection

at various times in my daily life; 

for prayer is the bond that joins us to Christ.

I pray that I may be aware of the physical needs of the poor and

that I may share what I can with them in the charitable works

of the Church.

I pray, O Holy Spirit, that You will, in Your mercy, 

grant me the favor I have sought in this novena.

Amen.
